Installing ASAP and dependencies from source

• Rpfits Download rpfits

     tar zxvf rpfits.tar.gz; cd rpfits/linux
         (edit GNUMakefile and change RPFITSROOT as appropriate)
     make install
  

• CASA (aips++) Download casa_asap (or casa_asap2.1)

     tar jxvf casa_asap.tar.bz2; cd casa_asap
          (read README and decide if you need to edit linux/UNKNOWN_SITE/makedefs)
     sh build.sh
  

Depending on whether you use (t)csh

   source aipsinit.csh

or bash

   . aipsinit.sh

• ASAP Download asap_src

     tar jxvf asap_src.tar.bz2; cd asap2.0
  

Check Makefile and src/Makefile define library paths correctly for your system, specifically cfitsio. Remove -pedantic from CXXFLAGS if using gcc >= 3.4

   make

Check if the module works. If the following statement returns without a message, all is good!

  cd /tmp; python -c "import _asap"; cd -

Install it to the default location:

   su
   make install

• ASAP Data Download asap_data

     su
     cd /usr/share/asap
     tar jxvf <download_directory>/asap_data.tar.bz2
  

Now you can test it by executing:

   asap
