Obtaining the CASA Release

Supported Operating Systems



February 14, 2013: CASA 4.0.1 is now available - this release includes a patch for correct shadowing flagging


The latest CASA release 4.0.1 is available for the following operating systems:

  • Linux
    • RedHat 5.7 and 5.8 (64-bit; 32-bit: CASA 4.0.0 only)
  • Mac OS
    • Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard; 64-bit)
    • Mac OS 10.7 (Lion; 64-bit)
CASA may also work on other flavors of Linux. The list above covers those operating systems that we run regular tests on. Note that from CASA 4.1 and onwards we plan to support Mac OS 10.8 but may discontinue support for Mac OS 10.6. We will also restrict support of the Linux version to 64bit.



Downloads


Please follow these links for downloading the code for your specific operating system and for the installation instructions. Note that, if possible, you should run CASA on a 64bit computer for better performance.
We also provide links to intermediate, Stable versions, which pave the way for the next, following release. They have additional functionality over the current release but Stables are not as rigorously tested as the release and they likely contain developments that are not yet complete. All available documentation is only for the release, so Stable may behave somewhat differently than what is currently documented.

The latest CASA release is 4.0.1 (r22889, Feb 14, 2013)
