Remove Healpix requirement for easy cluster management

[nicholebarry]

When refreshing the info file, the Healpix cubes are required, even if the uvf_cubes exist. It would be best to extract the information from the Healpix cubes into the uvf_cubes so that the Healpix cubes don't need to be downloaded for aws users.

Example: Mike downloaded the uvf cubes from aws to a local computer. He then tried to refresh_info.

So all the required information from the HEALPix files is extracted and saved in the info file. So the solution is to not have to refresh info. Why was that needed?

[nicholebarry]

I copied the uvf cubes and the info file from the cluster onto my local computer, and tried to run eppsilon to see if the refresh_info keyword was needed or not.

So I just ran into this and I think I understand the confusion better now. The issue (at least in my case) is that in addition to the uvf_cubes, eppsilon also needs the beam_cubes, which are stored in the ps folder under data/beam_cubes. If those are present, the info file should not need to be refreshed and the Healpix cubes should not be needed.
