What's frbpoppy?
****************
Establishing the origin and properties of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) is one of the biggest goals in radio astronomy. ``frbpoppy`` was called into life to help astronomers determine which FRB properties to expect. Designed to be simple in use and easy to adapt, ``frbpoppy`` continues the work of ``psrpop`` and ``psrpoppy`` in the realm of FRBs.

2. Get the files from the github repository:
::

$ git clone https://github.com/davidgardenier/frbpoppy
$ git clone https://github.com/TRASAL/frbpoppy

3. It's important that frbpoppy is installed locally. Why? It means that you can play around with the code without having to dig into a system wide install. It also allows frbpoppy to create data files more easily. Ubuntu is supported, as should be Macs, however no tests have been done on Windows. Install frbpoppy locally by going to the downloaded directory and running
