OSX 10.4 instructions
These instructions are valid for only intel based Macs.
If you have followed these instructions for a previous version of asap you can skip steps a) to d). Just run step e) to see that those are working.
Download and install the following components
a) http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/dmg/python-2.4.4-macosx2006-10-18.dmg
b) http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/dmg/numpy-1.0.1-py2.4-macosx10.4-2006-12-12.dmg
c) http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/dmg/matplotlib-0.87.7-py2.4-macosx10.4-2006-12-12.dmg
After the GUI install, check
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc
You may have to replace "WxAgg" with "TkAgg" (edit as root or sudo)
Alternatively you could download:
NOTE The python installer sets up a correct environment for the current user. Re-login to get the new system configuration (or just start a new xterm). Otherwise the old version of python is used.
d) http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/ipython-0.8.1.tar.gz
tar zxf ipython-0.8.1.tar.gz cd ipython-0.8.1 sudo python setup.py install
e) run
ipython -pylab plot(range(10))
to see if everything is working. This will generate font warnings - ignore these. Exit ipython ( control-d ).
f)
tar jxf asap-2.3.1-macos10.4.tar.bz2 cd asap-2.3.1-macos10.4.tar.bz2 sudo ./install # run asap once, to make sure $HOME/.asap is not installed as root asap sudo asap_update_data
g) after this start asap by typing
asap
you might have to run (only once)
%upgrade
