6Installation
7============

9scons has several targets. It is recommended to execute them sequentially.
10The normal install procedure is as follows:
11 scons
12 # Do this if you haven't got a data directory already
13 export ASAPDATA=.
14 ./bin/asap_update_data
15 #
16 scons install

19Obtaining the data directory
20============================
[1404]21The data repository can be obtained separately after installing ASAP.
[1194]22Before you run asap for the first time simply run
23 asap_update_data
24This will install the data repository into the correct location.
25
26There are several ways to do this.
[1404]27a) If you already have the 'data' directory, copy it to the root directory and run the normal install procedure.
[1194]28 scons
29 scons install
30
31b) You can obtain the data repository from the ftp site.
32 Simply run
33 export ASAPDATA=.
34 ./bin/asap_update_data
35 This will retrieve and unpack the data directory.
36 After this run:
37 scons install
38
39Creating a binary distribution
40==============================
41
42after building using 'scons', you can create a compressed tarball of the binaries. This is done via the target 'makedist='. The argument should be an obvious identifier for the system you want to support, e.g. 'sarge' or 'fc5-x86_64'
43
44 scons makedist=sarge
45
46This will create an archive in the subdirectory 'dist' named 'asap-X.Y.Z-sarge.tar.bz2', where X,Y,Z are the version numbers e.g 2.1.0.
