= Installing ASAP and dependencies from source =

 * '''Rpfits'''
  Download [http://www.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/rpfits/rpfits.tar.gz rpfits]
{{{
   tar zxvf rpfits.tar.gz; cd rpfits/linux
       (edit GNUMakefile and change RPFITSROOT as appropriate)
   make install
}}}

 * '''CASA''' (aips++)
  Download [http://www.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/asap/casa_asap.tar.bz2 casa_asap]
{{{
   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

  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
}}}
