2 2 ## CASAviewer
3 3
4 4 The CASA viewer has been built and distributed as part of [CASA](http://casa.nrao.edu/) for many years. This repository makes it possible to build the CASA viewer without building the rest of CASA. At some point in the near future, CASAviewer (built from this repository) will become the default viewer for CASA distributions. It will be included directly in the distribution for some time to come, but eventually users will be able to chose between the [CASAviewer](https://open-bitbucket.nrao.edu/projects/CASA/repos/casaviewer/browse) and [CARTA](https://cartavis.github.io).

6 6 ## Building
7 7
8 8 On [macOS](https://www.apple.com/macos/), this builds a [macOS App](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/DocumentPackages/DocumentPackages.html#). On [linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux), it builds an [AppImage](https://appimage.org). In both cases, this is accomplished with [qmake](http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-manual.html) supplemented with some [Java](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)) tools (fetched from [NRAO](http://www.nrao.edu/)) and the [AppImage](https://appimage.org) packaging program (on Linux).

10 10 This is designed to build with Qt 4.8.* It may build with Qt 5.*, but this has not been tested and may result in GUI layout problems. To build this, some prerequsites must be installed (a subset of the standard CASA third-party package suite). If you need to install these, take a look [here](https://open-bitbucket.nrao.edu/projects/CASA/repos/casatools/browse) for some hints.

Everything looks good. We'll let you know here if there's anything you should know about.
