Before runnig the install.sh installation script you have to make sure that you fulfill following prerequisites:
The Gnu C-compiler gcc (e.g. gcc and g77), the Xfree development kit and the libpng library must be available. They normally come with every Linux distribution.
Now go to the directory where you have downloaded the openboa cvs directory and files. Change into the directory openboa/install/ where the installation script install.sh is stored and run it:
./install.sh
You will be prompted to enter yes (y) or no (n) for the installation of each single software package. Attention, at some points of the installation you don't need to confirm the input of yes (y) or no (n) with the return key, so just press the y-key and see the installation running on (i.e. for the installation of the Intel Fortran 90 compiler, for F2PY, for ).
If you don't want to use the default installation path, then please enter the complete path, e.g. /home/smueller/BoA.
The script will create in this installation directory six sub-directories, bin, BoA, include, lib, man and tmp where all necessary files will be installed. The required disk space is about 220MB.
After the installation please execute the following files:
source .boarc.sh (located in your home directory)
and
source start_boa.sh (located in your BOA directory)
You can now run BoA by entering boa at the linux prompt, e.g.:
cd /home/smueller/BOA/fits/ boa

In case of the on-line installation you will need for the installation of F2PY to enter the password "guest":
Getting and installing F2PY Press Enter for password Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@scipy.org:2401/home/cvsroot CVS password: guest
If one or more of the servers providing the software sources is down or cannot be reached you can alternativly download all needed software packages from the LABOCA web page at the AIRUB. Just copy all archives into the directory boa_build and run the script ./boa_build again.
