Obtaining CASA for ALMA U4 / ACS 6.0.4
Installation
To support
ALMA a special release of CASA has been built which shares common tools, e.g. python, xerces, etc., with
ACS. This makes CASA tools available to those operating in the
ACS and
ALMA environments.
Installation of this version of CASA assumes you have already installed ACS 6.0.4 and can log in as root or have sudo permissions.
First, two RPMs must be installed:
These RPMs are not needed by ACS, but are required for CASA. You should download these and then install them either by logging in as
root
or by using
sudo
. If you have the password for the
root
account, do the following:
su
rpm -iv atm-0.2-02.i386.rpm
rpm -iv qt4-4.1.3-1.i386.rpm
Enter the password for
root
when prompted by
su
. If you have permission to use
sudo
, do the following:
sudo rpm -iv atm-0.2-02.i386.rpm
sudo rpm -iv t4-4.1.3-1.i386.rpm
Enter
your password when prompted by
sudo
.
Finally, download the gzipped tar file containing the ACS version of CASA:
and do the following:
cd /alma/ACS-6.0
rm -rf casa
tar zxf casapy-acs-20.0.3603-6.0.4.01.tar.gz
At this point, CASA should be installed, and you should be able to source the ACS initialization script:
. /alma/ACS-6.0/ACSSW/config/.acs/.bash_profile.acs
and run
casapy
from the command line of a terminal window.
