## Preparing the dataset
To be digested by RICK, the input Measurement Set must be written in binary. To do this, a Python script named `create_binMS.py` can be found in the `/scripts`directory. The supported format for MS input is the Measurement Set V2.0 standard. Given that the script needs to read some columns of the input data, we reccommend to use a Singularity image to deal with the `casacore` dependencies. You can find one [here](https://lofar-webdav.grid.sara.nl/software/shub_mirror/tikk3r/lofar-grid-hpccloud/lofar_sksp_v3.5_x86-64_generic_noavx512_ddf.sif?action=show). The script has to be modified with the input Measurement Set.
## How to compile the code
The latest version of the code is in the *merge* branch. To compile it, you need first to specify in the Makefile the required configuration for the RICK execution.<br>
