installing issue

[Leonardo Parisi]

Hi Dustin,

I try on Ubuntu 20.4 to follow the instructions on  http://astrometry.net/doc/build.html to install Astrometry. Unfortunately the following command gives an error.

Can you update the info on the site?

Thanks as usual

sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libnetpbm10-dev netpbm libpng2-dev libjpeg-dev python-numpy python-pyfits python-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev swig cfitsio-dev

Done!

Hello Dustin,

sorry to re-open such a thread but, I4; trying to install solve-field on ubuntu (22.04.5 LTS...), and face similar errors, as well as:

make[1]: *** [Makefile:164: _util.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ccolomer/astrometry.net-0.78/util'
make: *** [Makefile:127: pyutil] Error 2

I've found out that in the util/fit.py, there are some "np.bool" syntax that should be replace by "bool" only.

Well, I wonder how I get such an error but nobody else seem to have it... Sounds weird to me...

Thanks for any help :-)

Actually, when I eventually succeed in installing the software, I have this error:

BUT: the command : sudo apt install netpbm returns:

netpbm is already the newest version (2:10.0-15.4).

I must say I'm quite lost here...

nevermind: I solved everything by running: sudo apt install astrometry.net...

sorry for disturbing...
