A program to analyze an astronomical adaptive optics system.

1) Installation:

This depends on "mxlib", my library of c++ code.  I am constantly changing/updating/extending mxlib for other projects, so I recommend checking out the "aoSystem" branch like so:

git clone https://github.com/jaredmales/mxlib.git -b aoSystem --single-branch ./

Run that command in the directory you want as the top-level directory of mxlib.  Then follow the remaining installation instructions at: https://jaredmales.github.io/mxlib/group__installation.html

Note: I have installed this on CentOS6 and 7, and Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04.  I have never tried it on a Mac -- let me know how it goes!

2) Build:

Once you have setup the mxlib build system (which just means setting up environment variables to point to mx.makefile and mx.makefile.inc), you can build aoSystem with:

make -B -f $MXMAKEFILEINC t=aoSystem

3) Run:

Using the example config file, you can run the program with

./aoSystem -c example.conf  

See the documentation in example.conf.  Command line options can be interrogated with

./aosystem -h
