Tigger

Installing Tigger

Ubuntu package

Enable the radio astro launchpad PPA and install the python-tigger package.

from pypi or from source

requirements:

• Assorted python packages: PyQt4, PyQwt5, pyfits, numpy, scipy, astLib.

With the exception of astLib, these are already present in most Linux distros. astLib may be downloaded here: http://astlib.sourceforge.net/

• Purr/Kittens. Easiest to install the purr package from a MeqTrees binary

distribution (see http://www.astron.nl/meqwiki/Downloading). Alternatively, check it out from svn (see below), and make sure the parent of the Kittens directory is in your PYTHONPATH.

To obtain on ubuntu you can run:

$ sudo apt-get install python-kittens python-pyfits python-astlib python-scipy python-numpy python-qt4 python-qwt5-qt4 libicu48

now from pip:

$ pip install astro-tigger

or from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/ska-sa/tigger
$ cd tigger
$ python setup.py install

Running Tigger
