CasaBrowser is meant to be distributed with the CASA system and
will not work as a standalone application. When CASA is
installed, a Qt version of at least 4.3.0 is required. In
addition, the Qwt library is also required to enable plotting.
The version of Qwt must be at least 5.0.2.

Once CASA has been installed and built, the executable for
CasaBrowser can be found in the [CASA]/[architecture]/bin/
directory (for example: /casa/linux_gnu/bin). Since this
directory is placed on the path, the executable should be
runnable from any location.
CasaBrowser can be run in two ways:
casabrowser
When run with no arguments, a CasaBrowser window will open without
any tables. The menubar can be then be used to open table(s) as
desired.
casabrowser path/to/table
When run with one or more arguments, a CasaBrowser window will
open and display each of the provided tables (provided that they
are valid).
CasaBrowser is also accessible from within casapy by using the
browsetable() command.
