|---|
| 5 | ----------- |
|---|
| 6 | ASAP needs access to astronomical data tables that need to be updated regularly. |
|---|
| 7 | This task is done by the /etc/cron.weekly/python-asap cron job. |
|---|
| 8 | The casacore packages that ASAP is built on top of expect the data to be |
|---|
| 9 | unpacked into this directory: |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | /var/lib/casacore/data |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | Environment variables |
|---|
| 14 | --------------------- |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | You can override the data tables location by setting the ASAPDATA environment |
|---|
| 17 | variable. You should set ASAPDATA so that the path $ASAPDATA/ephemerides exists. |
|---|
| 18 | The data files are published by the U.S. National Radio Astronomy Observatory |
|---|
| 19 | (NRAO), as part of the Common Astronomical Software Applications (CASA) data |
|---|
| 20 | processing package, but can be downloaded separately. |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | If you also set the CASAPATH environment variable, so that it points to a |
|---|
| 23 | different data area than ASAPDATA, you may get unexpected behaviour. |

|---|
| 28 | ASAP allows you to customise your settings in $HOME/.asap. |
|---|
| 29 | It will also check in your $HOME/.ipython directory. |
