## Quick Example

```rust
use andam::dynamics::Universe;
use andam::observations::luminosity_distance;
use andam::statistics::mcmc::*;

fn main() {
 // Basic cosmology
 let universe = Universe::benchmark();
 println!("Universe age: {:.2} Gyr", universe.age_today());

 let distance = luminosity_distance(1.0, &universe);
 println!("Distance to z=1: {:.0} Mpc", distance);

 // MCMC parameter estimation
 let params = vec![
 Parameter {
 name: "Omega_m".to_string(),
 initial: 0.3,
 min: 0.2,
 max: 0.4,
 proposal_width: 0.01,
 },
 ];

 let log_likelihood = |theta: &[f64]| {
 -0.5 * (theta[0] - 0.315).powi(2) / 0.01_f64.powi(2)
 };

 let sampler = MCMCSampler::new(params, log_likelihood, 50, 1000);
 let chain = sampler.run(200);

 println!("Omega_m = {:.4} ± {:.4}",
 chain.mean("Omega_m").unwrap(),
 chain.std("Omega_m").unwrap());
}
```

## Installation

### From crates.io

```bash
# Default installation (includes plotting)
cargo add andam

# With HDF5 storage support (requires HDF5 1.12 or earlier)
cargo add andam --features hdf5-storage

# Minimal installation (no plotting or HDF5)
cargo add andam --no-default-features

# Everything
cargo add andam --features full
```

### In Cargo.toml

```toml
[dependencies]
# Default (with plotting)
andam = "0.1.0"

# With HDF5 storage
andam = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["hdf5-storage"] }

# Minimal
andam = { version = "0.1.0", default-features = false }

# All features
andam = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["full"] }
```

### From source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/cosmos-andam/andam
cd andam
cargo build --release
cargo test
```

## Feature Flags

| Feature | Description | Default | Dependencies |
|---------|-------------|---------|--------------|
| `plotting` | Visualization with plotly and plotters | Yes | plotly, plotters |
| `hdf5-storage` | HDF5 data storage and retrieval | No | hdf5, flate2, chrono |
| `full` | All features enabled | No | All of the above |

### Notes on HDF5 Storage

The HDF5 storage feature is optional because:
- Requires HDF5 system library (1.12 or earlier for crates.io version)
- Not needed for most users (core functionality works without it)
- Can be enabled with `--features hdf5-storage`

For HDF5 1.14+ support, see [HDF5 Publishing Notes](docs/HDF5_PUBLISHING_NOTE.md).
