Description: python-casacore
        ===============
        
        Python-casacore is a set of Python bindings for `casacore <https://code.google.com/p/casacore/>`_,
        a c++ library used in radio astronomy. Python-casacore replaces the old
        `pyrap <https://code.google.com/p/pyrap/>`_.
        
        
        The python-casacore documentation can be found on `casacore.github.io/python-casacore <http://casacore.github.io/python-casacore>`_.

        Installation
        ============
        
        Binary wheels
        -------------
        
        We distribute binary manylinux2010 for Linux, which requires pip > 10.x. To
        install python-casacore from a binary wheel run::
        
            $ pip install python-casacore
        
        
        Debian & Ubuntu
        ---------------
        
        python-casacore is now part of Debian and Ubuntu and can be installed using apt::
        
            $ sudo apt-get install python-casacore
        
        
        Kern
        ----
        
        If you want a more up to date version of python-casacore and you are running the latest
        Ubuntu LTS you can enable the  `KERN suite <http://kernsuite.info>`_ repository and
        install the binary package ::
        
            $ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
            $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernsuite/kern-5
            $ sudo apt-get update
            $ sudo apt-get install python-casacore
        
        
        from source
        -----------
        
        install these requirements:
        
        * `setuptools <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_
        * `Casacore <https://github.com/casacore/casacore/>`__
        * `Boost-python <http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/>`_
        * `numpy <http://www.numpy.org/>`_ 
        * `cfitsio <http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio/>`_
        
        On ubuntu you can install these with::
        
            $ apt-get install casacore-dev python-numpy \
                python-setuptools libboost-python-dev libcfitsio3-dev wcslib-dev
        
        * compile and install::
        
            $ pip install --no-binary python-casacore python-casacore
        
        * or if you are installing from the source repository::
        
            $ python ./setup.py install
            
        * If the compilation fails you might need to help the compiler find the paths to the
          boost and casacore libraries and headers. You can control this with the `CFLAGS` environment
          variable. For example on OS X when using homebrew and clang you need to do something like
          this::
          
            CFLAGS="-std=c++11 \
                    -I/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.68.0/include/ \
                    -I/usr/local/include/  \
                    -L/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.68.0/lib \
                    -L/usr/local/lib/" \
                    pip install python-casacore
