Here are the steps I followed in my attempts to install sopt and purify on various machines and OSes. They shouldn't be taken as strict guidelines but more as indications of what has worked or not.

1. apt-get install cmake
2. apt-get install fftw3
3. apt-get install libtiff5
4. apt-get install mpi
5. apt-get install libeigen3-dev
6. apt-get install libspdlog-dev
7. Install cfitsio:
   1. cd /usr/local/src/
   2. wget ftp://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/software/fitsio/c/cfitsio3270.tar.gz -O cfitsio3270.tar.gz
   3. tar zxvf cfitsio3270.tar.gz
   4. cd cfitsio
   5. ./configure --prefix=/usr
   6. make
   7. make install
   8. make clean
8. apt-get install libyaml-cpp-dev
9. apt-get install libccfits-dev
10. Added these lines at the top of the CMakeLists.txt
    1. set(FFTW3_INCLUDE_DIR "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu")
    2. set(FFTW3_LIBRARIES "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu”)
    3. set(MPI_C_LIBRARIES "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu")
    4. set(MPI_C_INCLUDE_PATH "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu")
    5. set(MPI_CXX_LIBRARIES "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu")
    6. set(MPI_CXX_INCLUDE_PATH "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu”)
11. apt-get install libboost-dev

1. pacman -Sy cmake
2. pacman -Sy make
3. pacman -Sy emacs
4. pacman -Sy git
5. pacman -Sy pkgconfig
6. pacman -Sy gcc
7. pacman -Sy libtiff
8. pacman -Sy boost
9. pacman -Sy eigen
10. pacman -Sy fftw
11. pacman -Sy llvm
12. pacman -Sy openmpi
13. pacman -Sy cfitsio
14. pacman -Sy ccfits
15. pacman -Sy yaml-cpp

Reinstall OSX

1. brew install make
2. brew install gcc
3. brew install libtiff
4. brew install open-mpi
5. brew install ccfits
6. brew install boots
7. brew install spdlog
8. pip install casacore
9. Create BICO
10. git clone sopt from astro-informatics
11. git clone GreatCMakeCookOff and make changes below
12. Build sopt
13. git clone purify from astro-informatics

For working on purify benchmarks only

1. In GreatCMakeCookOff/modules/LookUpGBenchmark.cmake change:
   1. • GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/mdavezac/benchmark.git
   2. • GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/benchmark.git
2. In purify/CMakeLists.txt set the following:
   1. option(tests “Enable testing” off)
   2. option(examples “Compile examples” off)
   3. option(benchmarks “Enable benchmarking” on)
   4. option(data “Download measurement set for testing” off)
   5. option(openmp “Enable OpenMP” on)
   6. option(logging “Enable logging” on)
   7. option(dompi “Enable MPI” on)
   8. option(doaf “Enable ArrayFire” off)
   9. option(docasa “Enable CASA” on)
