Building

Install Pre-requisites

On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get -y install make libnova-dev libcfitsio-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev build-essential cmake git libasio-dev libwebsocketpp-dev libssl-dev libccfits-dev libboost-dev libopencv-dev libgsl-dev

And you alse need to install all of the SDK.

Use Clang OR GCC

sudo apt install clang-11  OR  sudo apt install gcc

PHD2

Guiding depends on PHD2,so you are supposed to install PHD2

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pch/phd2
sudo apt install phd2

Bug Fix

For some unkownn reason,we can use opencv proprely.We need it in "/usr/include/opencv2",but it will be in "/usr/include/opencv4/opencv2".To solve this,you should run:

sudo mv /usr/include/opencv4/opencv2 /usr/include

Get the code

git clone https://github.com/AstroAir-Develop-Team/AstroAir-Server.git
Or
git clone https://github.com/AstroAir/AstroAir-Server.git   (This port doesn't update on time!)

Building the server

mkdir build&&cd build 
cmake ..
make -j4        #This depends on your computer
sudo make install #Currently, direct installation to the system is not supported. Please test in the build directory

Test

./airserver     #In building directory
