A summary of steps to build and package CARTA

(Assuming installation of all packages and libraries described on https://github.com/CARTAvis/carta-backend is already done)

1. Export your Qt path e.g. export PATH=/Qt5.3.2/5.3/gcc_64/bin:$PATH.

2. Download the latest CARTA source code git clone https://github.com/CARTAvis/carta-backend.git.

3. Prepare a build directory e.g. mkdir build && cd build.

4. Run the Qt qmake e.g. qmake NOSERVER=1 CARTA_BUILD_TYPE=dev ../carta -r.

5. Build the code e.g. make -j 4.

6. Download the appropriate packaging script from here e.g curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CARTAvis/deploytask2018/master/packaging_steps_mac.sh.

7. Modify paths in the script for your system and run the script chmod 755 packaging_steps_mac.sh && ./packaging_steps_mac.sh.

8. Final package should be in /tmp/carta-backend.app, ready copying into the Electron app.
