Beta Release Notes

The CASA Beta Release

The CASA Beta Release is now available and is installed at the AOC and in CV for use by the NRAO staff and visitors. Details about the Beta Release and user documentation (such as the Cookbook) are available at the CASA Home Page.

Users at NRAO can access the CASA Python interface on a RHE Linux machine by typing "casapy" at the prompt. The Beta Release version is available in /usr/bin on most machines. Users who want to download a CASA installation for use on their own Linux or Mac OSX (Intel) computers should consult the NRAO internal Wiki pages https://wiki.nrao.edu/bin/view/ISD/ObtainingCasaLinux and https://wiki.nrao.edu/bin/view/ISD/ObtainingCasaMacintosh respectively. You can also consult your local system administrator or helpdesk to have CASA installed on your machine.

Obtaining the CASA Beta Release at NRAO

Networked NRAO RHE Linux machines at the AOC and in CV Edgemont Road should have CASA installed under /usr/bin. Just type casapy to start up the Python shell.

NRAO users can obtain the Beta Release for installation by following the instructions at:

There is also useful information on the external "Obtaining CASA" wiki pages:

User Support for internal NRAO CASA Users

  • The primary references for user help are the CASA Data Analysis Cookbook and the CASA Reference Manual.

  • NRAO sites have local CASA User Support contacts:

    • AOC, the ATF, and Tucson users should contact Gustaaf van Moorsel (gvanmoor) for questions or help.

    • Charlottesville, the NAASC, and Green Bank users should contact Crystal Brogan (cbrogan)

    • Users in Chile should contact Joe McMullin (jmcmulli) for help.

    You can also contact the CASA Project Scientist, Steve Myers (smyers) directly if your local CASA contact is not available. But he will probably be surly.

  • For internal NRAO and ALMA/EVLA project users, CASA uses JIRA as its issue tracking system. Registered NRAO JIRA users can submit issues and maintain contact with CASA until resolution.
