Obtaining AIPS++ |
|
The full set of OS specific application and OS independent data repository RPMs are also available via FTP.
Should you wish to update your installation, new RPMs will be built following each stable release. They can be downloaded from the location listed above.
For Solaris users, existing AIPS++ installations can be brought up to date using the 'aupdate' command.
#Move to directory; copy rpm database cd install_directory #replace install directory with full path name set mypwd=`pwd` #set variable to working directory to simplify later commands (cd /var/lib; tar cf - rpm) | tar xf - #install support libraries rpm -iv --force --dbpath $mypwd/rpm \ --prefix $mypwd \ gccshare+3.3-11-4ds.i386.rpm \ gppshare+3.3-11-4ds.i386.rpm \ g77share+3.3-11-4ds.i386.rpm \ pgplot-5.2.2-4ds.i386.rpm \ pgplot-motif-5.2.2-4ds.i386.rpm \ rpfits-2.6-13ds.i386.rpm \ cfitsio-2.401-12ds.i386.rpm # # install AIPS++ data repository echo "Required AIPS++ data (e.g., IERS data, source catalogs, observatory locations)..." rpm -iv --force --dbpath $mypwd/rpm \ --prefix $mypwd \ casa-data-20041013-1ds.noarch.rpm \ casa-data-base-20041013-1ds.noarch.rpm # # install AIPS++ rpms echo "CASA (AIPS++) libraries..." rpm -iv --force --dbpath $mypwd/rpm \ --prefix $mypwd \ casa-19.819-7ds.i386.rpm \ casa-shared-19.819-7ds.i386.rpm \ glish-2.8.0-5ds.i386.rpm # Note: you may get the error: error: db4 error(13) from db->close: Permission denied This is an artefact of the re-locatable rpm permissions and can be ignored. Once this successfully completes, then ensure that the aips++ binary has been added to your path and you will likely want to add the following lines to your .bashrc/(t)cshrc file: echo $PATH add to files: #.bashrc set casapath=install_directory export PATH=$casapath/bin:$PATH #.(t)cshrc set casapath=install_directory set path=($casapath/bin $path)
Note:
If you have a prior installation of AIPS++, some RPMs may fail
to install. This will be indicated by a message like:
file "FILENAME" from install of "RPMNAME" conflicts with file from package "RPMNAME"
Should this happen, reinstall these RPMs with "rpm -Uvh" rather than "rpm -ivh".

AIPS++ can be started simply by typing "aips++" at the UNIX command prompt.
