                       The TauP Toolkit

        Flexible Seismic Travel-Time and Raypath Utilities
                          Version 3.1
                  http://www.seis.sc.edu/taup/

The TauP Toolkit is a seismic travel time calculator. In addition to travel times, it can calculate derivative information such as ray paths through the earth, pierce and turning points. It handles many types of velocity models and can calculate times for virtually any seismic phase with a phase parser. It is written in Java so it should run on any Java enabled platform.

The website for the TauP Toolkit is: https://github.com/crotwell/TauP

Documentation is available at Read The Docs, or in docs/manual directory of the distribution.

Install

Macintosh (or Linux or Windows Subsystem for Linux

Using homebrew: brew tap crotwell/crotwell brew install taup taup --help

Linux

Warning, I have not uploaded TauP3.0 to snap yet...

Using snap: sudo snap install taup taup --help

Note: I have only tested this on Ubuntu on amd64.

You may also get the lastest development version via sudo snap install taup --channel=latest/edge

Manually

Download tarball from Zenodo here: https://zenodo.org/records/16884103 or from the releases section on Github https://github.com/crotwell/TauP/releases

Rebuilding

You should not need to rebuild TauP unless you are trying to help debug, but if you do, you can build it using the Gradle wrapper script.

./gradlew installDist

will build TauP into the build/install directory.
