Installation of the Gemini IRAF package v1.14comm ------------------------------------------------- [0] All users are requested to use Ureka (http://ssb.stsci.edu/ureka/) to install IRAF and the Gemini IRAF package. Installation instructions for Ureka users can be found at http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/data-and-results/processing-software/download. The Gemini IRAF package v1.14comm should run under both IRAF and PyRAF environments, however it has been tested only on PyRAF. WARNING!! The Gemini IRAF package v1.14comm does NOT work reliably with the 32-bit or 64-bit version of IRAF v2.16 as distributed by NOAO. The Gemini IRAF package was tested under Ureka IRAF v2.16. (Ureka v1.5.2) [1] The Gemini IRAF package v1.14comm is distributed via the Gemini web pages: http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/data-and-results/processing-software The file gemini_v114comm.tar.gz is to be downloaded The gemini_readme.txt file contains these instructions. [2] Create a directory to contain the Gemini IRAF package files. This directory should be outside the IRAF directory tree. We will call that directory "my_gemini_v114comm". % mkdir my_gemini_v114comm [3] Unpack the tar file in your installation directory % cd my_gemini_v114comm % tar xvzf /gemini_v114comm.tar.gz my_gemini_v114comm [4] No need to compile anything 32-bit Linux and Mac OS X binaries, compatible with Ureka v1.5.2 are already included with the package. You do not need to compile anything. [5] Configure IRAF to pick up the new package. In your iraf home directory (commonly ~/iraf), create a loginuser.cl that will contain the package configuration. The iraf home directory is where you ran mkiraf, and where the login.cl is located. % vi loginuser.cl (or your favorite editor) Add the following lines: reset gemini=/my_gemini_v114comm/ task gemini.pkg=gemini$gemini.cl keep The trailing "/" on the first line is important, don't forget it. [6] If updating an older installation of the Gemini IRAF package, it is recommended that users initialize their uparm directories by typing "rm uparm/*" in their iraf home directory. NOTE: if you wish to make a note of any stored parameters, please do so before running this command.
