KERN is an annually released set of radio astronomical software packages. It should contain most of the standard tools that a radio astronomer needs to work with radio telescope data. The goal of KERN is to save time and prevent frustration in setting up of scientific pipelines and to assist in achieving scientific reproducibility.

$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
$ sudo add-apt-repository -s ppa:kernsuite/kern-9
$ sudo apt-add-repository multiverse
$ sudo apt-add-repository restricted
