1 | asap for Debian |
---|
2 | =============== |

3 | |
---|
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. |
---|
24 | |
---|
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. |
