LOFAR User Software

This page will redirect you to build instructions for the LOFAR common software packages. Unfortunately there are two confusing names for two very different software bases:

• LOFAR Software → the package used and maintained by ASTRON containing control software, pipelines, AwImager, AOFlagger; this is the package developed and elaborated and used in the LOFAR production environment
• LUS (LOFAR USer Software) → package maintained by the KSPs (Key Science projects) containing the pulsar pipelines tools, the Cosmic Ray tools, etc.

• Instructions for how to obtain and build the LOFAR software tree.
• Notes on Installing and Using the LOFAR Software on the JUROPA Cluster

• LUS instructions (not up to date...)
