We provide a Mathematica package, DirectDM, that takes as input the Wilson
coefficients of the relativistic effective theory describing the interactions
of dark matter with quarks, gluons and photons, and matches it onto an
effective theory describing the interactions of dark matter with neutrons and
protons. The nonperturbative matching is performed at leading order in a chiral
expansion. The one-loop QCD and QED renormalization-group evolution from the
electroweak scale down to the hadronic scale, as well as finite corrections at
the heavy quark thresholds are taken into account. We also provide an interface
with the package DMFormFactor so that, starting from the relativistic effective
theory, one can directly obtain the event rates for direct detection
experiments.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures; the companion code can be downloaded from
