AIPS++ Stable Snapshots

Current Stable 1.9 Build 1556 2006/09/29, last glish based stable snapshot

AIPS++ provides stable snapshots during the current development cycle. You should consider the stable snapshots as "alpha" software and proceed with caution. The stable snapshots have passed certain minimum tests. Some snapshots are tested more thoroughly than others. The test levels are stable, beta, and release. Completed targets for the current stable as well as a current list of in-progress targets for the next stable snapshot may be found at the AIPS++ Project Office Page.

Prebuilt binaries for Solaris and Linux are available via the aupdate script. To determine your current version, type "avers" at a UNIX command prompt. To get the updated snapshot type "aupdate" at a UNIX command prompt. Please note aupdate retrieves the updated stable binaries and docs over the net using cvsup. The process can take "awhile". Additionally, RPM's are available for a variety of Linux distributions and may be found at ftp::/ftp.cv.nrao.edu/aips++/rpms. Please note there is currently limited support for users outside the ALMA community.

For AIPS++ versions less than v1.8 Build 391 you will need to obtain aupdate via anonymous ftp. For Linux users please get ftp://aips2.nrao.edu/pub/import/Linux/aupdate.tar.gz, for Solaris user get it from ftp://aips2.nrao.edu/pub/import/Solaris/aupdate.tar.gz. Unpack the tar file in your $AIPSARCH directory (the same directory that contains your AIPS++ bin directory).

AIPS++ does not currently support any version of Windows or any Apple computers.
