Software Download

Download the latest versions of FFTW, CFITSIO, PSRCAT, SIGPROC, and PGPLOT:

• FFTW - Fast Fourier Transform library
• CFITSIO - a routine for reading/writing FITS format
• PSRCAT - the ATNF Pulsar Catalogue
• SIGPROC - pulsar search and analysis software
• PGPLOT - a plotting routine

Obtain the latest versions of PSRCHIVE (suite of tools for pulsar data analysis), TEMPO/TEMPO2 (pulsar timing routines), PRESTO (pulsar search and analysis software) and DSPSR (digital signal processing of pulsar timeseries) from the git repositories:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/psrchive/code psrchive
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/tempo/tempo
git clone https://bitbucket.org/psrsoft/tempo2.git
git clone git://github.com/scottransom/presto.git
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/dspsr/code dspsr

If you need TempoNest, you can clone Lindley's repository:

git clone https://github.com/LindleyLentati/TempoNest.git

You may wish to download Mike Keith's version of sigproc which handles PSRFITS format files:

git clone https://github.com/SixByNine/sigproc.git

Software Installation

Choose your operating system from the list below, however if you are building on a Linux machine, I do recommend building a 64-bit version:

• Ubuntu Linux (64-bit)
• CentOS Linux (32-bit)
• CentOS Linux (64-bit)
• Mac (OSX El Capitan)
• Mac (OSX Mountain Lion)
• Mac (OSX Snow Leopard)
