Installation

Macintosh

Using homebrew:

brew tap crotwell/crotwell
brew install taup
taup --help

Linux

Using snap:

sudo snap install taup
taup --help

Note: I have only tested this on Ubuntu on amd64.

You may also get the lastest development version via:

sudo snap install taup --channel=latest/edge

Manually

Download tarball here or from the releases page on Github. Then:

tar zxf TauP-3.0.0.tgz

and add the bin directory to your PATH.

Rebuilding

You should not need to rebuild TauP from source unless you are trying to help debug an issue, but if you do, you can build it using the Gradle wrapper script:

./gradlew installDist

will rebuild TauP into the build/install directory.

Tab completion

TauP is distributed with a command line completion file for the Bash and ZSH Unix shells, named taup_completion. By sourcing this file either in your .bashrc or .zshrc file you can use <TAB><TAB> to autocomplete command line arguments. The TauP tool also can output this completion file as needed.

For Bash add this to your .bashrc file in your home directory, and for ZSH add to you .zshrc file:

source <(/path/to/taup generate-completion)

This runs the taup command to generate the completion file on the fly, making sure it is the latest version.
