Description: C access to FITS data files with optional Fortran wrappers
Long Description: CFITSIO is a library of C and Fortran subroutines for reading and writing data files in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) data format. CFITSIO simplifies the task of writing software that deals with FITS files by providing an easy to use set of high-level routines that insulate the programmer from the internal complexities of the FITS file format. At the same time, CFITSIO provides many advanced features that have made it the most widely used FITS file programming interface in the astronomical community.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/cfitsio
%  sudo port install cfitsio  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching cfitsio
--->  Verifying checksum for cfitsio
--->  Extracting cfitsio
--->  Configuring cfitsio
--->  Building cfitsio with target all

--->  Staging cfitsio into destroot

--->  Installing cfitsio

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using cfitsio with these commands:

%  man cfitsio
%  apropos cfitsio
%  which cfitsio
%  locate cfitsio
