##################### Running the MegaBEAST ##################### ********** Background ********** The MegaBEAST is specifically setup to use the output of BEAST runs. Currently it can be run on a single set output from a single BEAST run. Plans and prototype code exist for running the MegaBEAST on BEAST results ordered spatially to have all the stars in a region split in to smaller pixels. More information on the BEAST spatial reordering can be found in the `BEAST documentation `_. ******* Running ******* The MegaBEAST should be installed (see :ref:`mb-install`.). The MegaBEAST is run from the commandline using a :ref:`mb-settings` file. For fitting a single stellar population with a foreground screen of dust: .. code-block:: shell $ mb_fit_single mb_settings.txt ***************** MegaBEAST outputs ***************** N/A
