Installation of the Gemini IRAF package v1.16 --------------------------------------------- [0] Gemini distribute and install the Gemini IRAF package with conda. Installation instructions can be found at https://www.gemini.edu/observing/phase-iii/reducing-data/gemini-iraf-data-reduction-software The Gemini IRAF package v1.16 should run under both IRAF and PyRAF environments, however it has been tested only on PyRAF. The Gemini IRAF package cannot be built on Mac OS 10.15 and above because those platforms are not distributing 32-bit compatibility libraries. A VM is available. See instructions here: https://gemini-iraf-vm-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ The Gemini IRAF package was tested with the conda package of IRAF v2.16. Conda Installation ----------------------- [1] The Gemini IRAF package v1.16 is distributed and installed with conda. Follow the instructions on Gemini website to install. https://www.gemini.edu/observing/phase-iii/reducing-data/gemini-iraf-data-reduction-software Remember to run "mkiraf" to configure IRAF before using it for the first time. No further action is required. The package can also be installed manually from the tarball. The installation instructions for that follow below. Manual Installation from tarball -------------------------------- [2] The Gemini IRAF v1.16 tarball is distributed via the Gemini web pages: https://www.gemini.edu/observing/phase-iii/understanding-and-processing-data/data-processing-software/download-latest The file gemini_v116.tar.gz is to be downloaded The gemini_readme.txt file contains these instructions. [3] 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_v115". % mkdir my_gemini_v116 [4] Unpack the tar file in your installation directory % cd my_gemini_v116 % tar xvzf /gemini_v116.tar.gz [5] No need to compile anything 32-bit Linux binaries, compatible with the conda package of IRAF are already included with the package. You do not need to compile anything. [6] Configure IRAF to pick up the new package. In your iraf home directory (commonly ~/iraf), create a "loginuser.cl" file 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 use your favorite editor) Add the following lines: reset gemini=/my_gemini_v116/ task gemini.pkg=gemini$gemini.cl keep The trailing "/" on the first line is important, don't forget it. [7] 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.
