Richard Wesson created a new topic ' Re: ASTAP set up' in the forum. 3 years ago

I am gradually setting up stellarmate (again!) and whilst I have managed to sort earlier problems out, I am struggling with ASTAP. 

I have installed ASTAP onto stellarmate on my Pi4 and have run it as a standalone programme. However, looking at other people's set ups on the forum, I see images of stellarsolver options showing an ASTAP icon below the index files icon on the left. Mine is missing this. The settings are as follows:
Source extraction method: External SExtractor
Solving method: Local ASTAP

On the EKOS align Tab there is no ASTAP option at the botton - only StellarSolver and Remote. 

When I try to point the index files location to /opt/astap it will not load indexes and folder details say 'Dowloads disabled, directory permission issue. 

Consequently, when I run capture and solve I get the astap programme open but it says error accessing file - I imagine becasue it cannot access the index file. 

Any ideas?
