The following shows you how to install CR-Tools on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) and Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) in either 32 or 64 bit.

The following Ubuntu packages need to be installed:

• g++

• subversion
• python-dev
• zlib1g-dev
• flex
• libatlas-base-dev
• liblapack-dev
• swig
• bison
• libncurses5-dev
• libfreetype6-dev
• libpng12-dev
• python-tk
• python-pyfits

for this you can just use the package manager.

sudo apt-get install g++ gfortran flex swig bison subversion
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libatlas-base-dev liblapack-dev 
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libfreetype6-dev libpng12-dev

Now we are ready to install CR-Tools itself. First get the latest source code from the LOFAR USG Subversion repository.

svn co http://usg.lofar.org/svn/code/trunk lofarsoft

Then add the following line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile.

export LOFARSOFT=/path/to/lofarsoft
. $LOFARSOFT/devel_common/scripts/init.sh

Now bootstrap the build system.

cd $LOFARSOFT/build
./bootstrap

And compile CR-Tools.

make cr

Grab a cup of coffee and if all is well, in about 30 minutes you should have your very own working installation of CR-Tools.
