12Installation
13============
14
15ASAP is based on c++ and python. It uses python's standard packaging tool
16to build and install::
17
18 python setup.py install
19
20If the dependencies are in custom locations there are two ways to build
21ASAP:
22
23 * edit the file 'setup.cfg' then run 'python setup.py install'
24 * give command-line parameters; run 'python setup.py build_ext' with the
25 options and then 'python setup.py install'
26 (see python setup.py build_ext --help for the available options)
27
28Note: The installation must be done as 'root' or using 'sudo'
29
30Obtaining the data directory
31============================
32
33ASAP needs some meta-data which updates periodically.
34The data repository can be obtained separately after installing ASAP.
35Run as root (sudo)::
36
37 asap_update_data
38
39This will install the data repository into the correct location.
40
41Creating a binary distribution
42==============================
43
44You can make a binary distribution for you platform by running::
45
46 python setup.py bdist_egg
47
48This will create an 'egg' archive in the subdirectory 'dist'.
49Send this to asap@atnf.csiro.au so other people can share it.
