Assuming that you have already untarred this stuff ...

* Go to the npoi directory (it contains this README file).

* Set the environmental variable NPOI to the npoi directory.
  - export NPOI=`pwd`

* Load the Makefile in the npoi directory into the editor.  Change the NPOI
  directory variable at the top of the file to the npoi directory.  Use the
  complete path.

* If you want to use gfortran instead of g77, change the relevant variables.
  Exit from the editor.  YOU MUST HAVE A FORTRAN COMPILER AND LIBRARY INSTALLED.

* In the npoi directory, type 'make'.  You will see some warning messages from
the HDS library construction.  Ignore them.

* Go to the bin directory under the npoi directory.  You should see a number of
  executables.

* Add the bin directory to your path.
  - export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`

* Go to $(NPOI)/catalogs/diameter.  Add calibrator star diameters, and exit
  editor.  NB: Cuttlefish will not work correctly if correct calibrators are
  not present using their HD names.

* Go to $(NPOI)/catalogs/Earth.  If necessary, add lines to the bottom of
  finals2000A.all file from http://toshi.nofs.navy.mil/ser7/finals2000A.all and
  exit the editor.

* If necessary, add lines to the bottom of tai-utc.dat (leap seconds).  You can
  get the list of leap seconds from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second .

* Assuming no errors, you can run the executables on any *.con or *.cha file.

* Q'apla!
