Running the tests
=================
The tests are written assuming they will be run with `pytest
`_ using the Astropy `custom test runner
`_. To set up a
Conda environment to run the full set of tests, see the `environment-dev.yml
`_ environment
file. Once the dependencies are installed, you can run the tests two ways:
1. By importing ``gala``::
import gala
gala.test()
2. By cloning the ``gala`` repository and running::
python setup.py test
