Extra packages needed?

@tetarenk - When you have a chance, can you post a link to the other package you need?

extra packages:

  1. python packages—> jdcal,pyfits,astropy; I just usually use casa-python (https://github.com/radio-astro-tools/casa-python) to install these within casa but you need a separate python distribution to use casa-python so then you need to install the anaconda distribution as well
  2. analysis utilities—> instructions here https://casaguides.nrao.edu/index.php?title=Analysis_Utilities https://casaguides.nrao.edu/index.php?title=Analysis_Utilities; just need to download the tarball, unpack it and append a few lines to .casa/init.py file (make sure to add the import statement in the init file cause I don’t have it in my script)
  3. uvmultifit—>http://nordic-alma.se/support/software-tools http://nordic-alma.se/support/software-tools; instructions in the linked tarball, but essentially you need to compile the C++ module for which you need gcc and g++, as well as the gsl libraries (1st answer here—> http://askubuntu.com/questions/490465/install-gnu-scientific-library-gsl-on-ubuntu-14-04-via-terminal), and then append a few lines to the .casa/init.py again (make sure to add the import statement in the init file too).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub #1.

@tetarenk - Should be good to go now! Can you do a quick test with the new image? Something small that uses a bit of each package would be great (I've tested CASA a bit already). Not too critical so no rush.
