Simulating images and visibilities of gravitationally lensed galaxies, behind Yashar Hezaveh's back.

For the most part, installation should be straightforward. Just clone the repository and most things should run.
Unfortunately, we've added a better lens model class (PowerKappa), which is non-trivial to install because it calls the fastell.f code from Barkana (1998). However, this should (in principle) be able to be compiled using f2py as follows:

f2py -c fastell.pyf fastell.f

Note that this will fail if the fortran compiler doesn't like your python distribution. I had to re-install gcc on one of my laptops to get it to work. You may or may not have the same problem.

Either way, the above command produces the file _fastell.so which init.py will try to import. So you should definitely play around with compiling fastell.f in a python readable format.
