 +===== Starting up SPAM ======
 +
 +Setting up SPAM in Linux bash is done through:
 +<code bash>
 +. <spam installation path>/​setup.sh
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Setting up SPAM in Linux (t)csh is done through:
 +<code bash>
 +source <spam installation path>/​setup.csh
 +</​code>​
 +
 +SPAM uses AIPS in such a way that it allows creation of an isolated, self-consistent work environment per project. To run SPAM, first create a project directory:
 +<code bash>
 +mkdir -p <new project directory>​
 +cd <new project directory>​
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Then start ParselTongue:​
 +<code bash>
 +start_parseltongue.sh . <AIPS userid>
 +</​code>​
 +The AIPS userid can be any number from 11 to 9999. I usually stick with 11
 +
 +In the project directory, the start_parseltongue.sh script has set up a local AIPS work environment with 35 AIPS disks (work01-35) and a few other directories (fits, datfil, prtfil, runfil, da00, etc.). Most of this is quite specific to AIPS.
 +
 +If all went well, the final output will have been
 +<code python>
 +Welcome to ParselTongue 2.3
 +>>>​
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Next, we import SPAM as a python module
 +<code python>
 +from spam import *
 +</​code>​
 +
 +If this returns without errors it is likely that the installation has gone well.
