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

     tar jxvf casa_asap.tar.bz2; cd casa_asap
     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
     make
  

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

    cd src; python -c "import _asap"; cd ..
  

  Install it to the default location:

     make install
  

• ASAP Data Download asap_data

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

Now you can test it by executing:

asap
