libboost-all-dev libhdf5-dev libfftw3-dev \
libblas-dev liblapack-dev libxml2-dev \
libgtkmm-3.0-dev libpython3-dev python3-distutils
Astronomy-specific packages:
apt-get -y install casacore-dev libcfitsio-dev wcslib-dev
In order to be able to build the documentation with make doc
, sphinx
and some other documentation tools need to be installed:
pip3 install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme breathe myst-parser

make install
Installation options
(Use ccmake
or cmake -i
to configure all options.)
BUILD_WITH_PYTHON
: build Python module ‘everybeam’ to use everybeam from PythonBUILD_TESTING
: compile tests when building EveryBeamDOWNLOAD_LOBES
: download and install available LOBEs coefficients files (OFF
by default)DOWNLOAD_LWA
: download and install OVRO-LWA coefficients file (OFF
by default)EVERYBEAM_DATADIR
: override the directory where EveryBeam searches for its data files; a relative path will be prefixed with the install prefix.
All other build options serve development purposes only, and can/should be left at the default values by a regular user.
All libraries are installed in <installpath>/lib
. The header files in
<installpath>/include
. The Python module in
<installpath>/lib/python{VERSION_MAJOR}.{VERSION_MINOR}/site-packages
. Make sure that your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and PYTHONPATH
are set as appropiate.
Data files, such as coefficient files for the Hamaker model, the SKALA4.0 model
(OSKAR), the OVRO-LWA model (if DOWNLOAD_LWA=On
),
and the LOBEs model (if DOWNLOAD_LOBES=On
) are
installed in <installpath>/share/everybeam
.
