# This document explains how to install AIPS on your linux machine 
# by using binary installation. Here, I assume the Linux OS is CentOS 5.5.

# For the AIPS version, I would strongly recommend to use recent version 
# of AIPS such as 31DEC10

# if the '#" mark is presented in front of command set, it means that you need 
# to superuser privilege, on the other hand, '$' mark means user account is OK.


1. download the "Install Wizard" file on the AIPS website : http://www.aips.nrao.edu/dec10.shtml
	intall.pl

2. make a directory where AIPS program will be installed.
	#mkdir /opt/aips  (AIPS ROOT)
	#chmod -R 777 /opt/aips

3. copy the install wizard file to the AIPS ROOT
	now you have insall.pl file at the directory : /opt/aips/install.pl

4. give a permission for execution to install.pl
	#chmod +x install.pl

5. please copy and paste following lines to the end of /etc/services

	#vi /etc/services

sssin           5000/tcp        SSSIN      # AIPS TV server
ssslock         5002/tcp        SSSLOCK    # AIPS TV Lock
msgserv         5008/tcp        MSGSERV    # AIPS Message Server
tekserv         5009/tcp        TEKSERV    # AIPS TekServer
aipsmt0         5010/tcp        AIPSMT0    # AIPS remote FITS disk access
aipsmt1         5011/tcp        AIPSMT1    # AIPS remote tape 1
aipsmt2         5012/tcp        AIPSMT2    # AIPS remote tape 2

aipsmt4         5014/tcp        AIPSMT4
aipsmt5         5015/tcp        AIPSMT5
aipsmt6         5016/tcp        AIPSMT6
aipsmt7         5017/tcp        AIPSMT7

	AipsWiz: ==> Press <ENTER> to continue...: [Enter]


	--> Then, you should see following messages, which imply the successful
		installation of AIPS.


	AipsWiz:  =====> We're DONE!  Let's have a nice Banana Split! <======

	AipsWiz: Here are the final setup instructions for running AIPS

        	1.  Reference the LOGIN.SH file in your .profile file
    	          (dot it now too, via ". ./LOGIN.SH")

	        2.  Check that it works:

    	            aips notv tpok
	
    	          (this will not start a TV or tape servers).
        	    Try 'print 2 + 2' for a very basic test.

	        3.  Make a cron entry for the do_daily.LOCALHOST file
        	      that the MAKE.MNJ created, so you can run the
    	          AIPS 'midnight job'.  This is optional but
            	  strongly recommended.

	AipsWiz: That's it.  You should now have the latest AIPS!  Enjoy.



7. Final setup
	You need to tell the AIPS $PATH to your shell. Here is an example.
	Please add following lines to your .tcshrc or .cshrc

	** In case of tcsh or csh : 
		setenv aips /opt/astro/aips
		source /opt/astro/aips/LOGIN.CSH

	** In case of bash : 
		export aips=/opt/aips
		source /opt/aips/LOGIN.SH

 
8. Enjoy AIPS!!
