Installing ASAP and dependencies from source

• Rpfits Download rpfits

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

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

     tar jxvf casa_asap.tar.bz2; cd casa_asap
     sh configure.sh
          (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
  

You need to have the scons package installed (see o/s specific notes)

   scons

If scons fails with "Checking for casa libraries...no" then you probably forgot to source the aipsinit script. If any other check returns "no" please install the corresponding package on your machine.

Install it to the default location:

   su
   scons install

• ASAP Data Download asap_data

     su
     asap_update_data
  

Now you can test it by executing:

   asap
