⁠MIRA: Multi-aperture Image Reconstruction Algorithm

MiRA (Multi-aperture Image Reconstruction Algorithm) is an algorithm for image reconstruction from interferometric data. The software is written in Yorick⁠ and expects data file in the OIFITS format.

A quick way to install MiRA is to use EasyYorick⁠ script which takes care of downloading, compiling and installing all needed code. Otherwise, see Installation⁠ for prerequisites and instructions to install MiRA.

The man pages of MiRA give all options. See Usage⁠ for a short introduction about using MiRA.
