1 | asap for Debian

2 | ===============

4 | Data Tables
|
---|
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.
|
---|

|
---|
25 | Per-user config files
|
---|
26 | ---------------------
|
---|
27 |
|
---|
28 | ASAP allows you to customise your settings in $HOME/.asap.
|
---|
29 | It will also check in your $HOME/.ipython directory.
