  1. Change to the install directory mkdir -p /opt/install && cd /opt/install
  2. Get fits wget http://fits.googlecode.com/files/fits-0.6.1.zip
  3. Install fits unzip fits-0.6.1.zip
    sudo chmod +x fits-0.6.1/fits.sh
    sudo cp -r fits-0.6.1/* /usr/local/bin/
  4. Simlink fits to fit.sh
    sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/fits.sh /usr/local/bin/fits
  5. Confirm fits. Typing fits should return “Invalid CLI options” and the fits usage notes. Typing fits.sh –i filename should return a bunch of xml about the file you selected.
  6. Troubleshoot fits as necessary. If you get “command not found”, try echo $PATH – if /usr/local/bin is not included, add it to the relevant user’s bash_profile. For more info, see the fits documentation
