“Neurosis is the inability to tolerate ambiguity” - Sigmund Freud

Welcome to the documentation for freud, a Python package for analyzing particle simulation trajectories of periodic systems. The library contains a diverse array of analysis routines designed for molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation trajectories. Since any scientific investigation is likely to benefit from a range of analyses, freud is designed to work as part of a larger analysis pipeline. In order to maximize its interoperability with other systems, freud works with and returns NumPy arrays.

Installing freud

The recommended method of installing freud is using conda through the conda-forge channel. First download and install miniconda following conda’s instructions. Then, install freud from conda-forge:

$ conda install -c conda-forge freud

Alternatively, freud can be installed directly from source.

$ git clone https://bitbucket.org/glotzer/freud.git
$ cd freud
$ python setup.py install
