6Installation
7============
8
9scons has several targets. It is recommended to execute them sequentially.
10The normal install procedure is as follows
11.. code::
12
13 scons
14 # Do this if you haven't got a data directory already
15 export ASAPDATA=.
16 ./bin/asap_update_data
17 #
18 scons install

21Obtaining the data directory
22============================
23
24The data repository can be obtained separately after installing ASAP.
25Before you run asap for the first time simply run::
26
27 asap_update_data
28
29This will install the data repository into the correct location.
30
31There are several ways to do this.
32a) If you already have the 'data' directory, copy it to the root directory and run the normal install procedure::
33
34 scons
35 scons install
36
37b) You can obtain the data repository from the ftp site.
38 Simply run::
39
40 export ASAPDATA=.
41 ./bin/asap_update_data
42
43 This will retrieve and unpack the data directory.
44 After this run::
45
46 scons install
47
48Creating a binary distribution
49==============================
50
51after 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'::
52
53 scons makedist=sarge
54
55This 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.
