IRAF Setup on Ubuntu/Debian

Taken from http://ihateskittles.com/iraf/

Updated 12.03.2010

This page describes how to setup IRAF on a 32-bit Ubuntu/Debian machine. Installation of X11IRAF, DS9, Tables, and STSDAS are also included.

It will be easiest if you just copy-paste the instructions one by one. Please be sure to read and implement the instructions in brackets as well.

(For 64-bit installation, use

http://ihateskittles.com/iraf/iraf_amd64.txt )

Based on instructions by: Rubab Khan (http://geco.phys.columbia.edu/~rubab/) and Michael Hutchinson (http://mjhutchinson.com/journal/2006/11/05/install_iraf_on_ubuntu_edgy_amd64)

sudo chown -R iraf:iraf /iraf

su iraf

mkdir /iraf/irafbin

mkdir /iraf/irafbin/bin.linux

mkdir /iraf/irafbin/noao.bin.linux

mkdir /iraf/x11iraf

mkdir /iraf/extern

cd /iraf/iraf

wget http://iraf.net/ftp/iraf/v214/PCIX/as.pcix.gen.gz

tar -zxf as.pcix.gen.gz

rm as.pcix.gen.gz

cd /iraf/iraf/unix/bin.redhat/

mv * ../bin.linux/

cd /iraf/irafbin/bin.linux

wget http://iraf.net/ftp/iraf/v214/PCIX/ib.rhux.x86.gz

tar -zxpf ib.rhux.x86.gz

tar -zxpf nb.rhux.x86.gz

rm nb.rhux.x86.gz

setenv iraf /iraf/iraf/

cd $iraf/unix/hlib

source irafuser.csh

During the next step keep hitting enter to select the default settings. When it finishes you should receive "Installation Completed With No Errors".

sudo ./install

sudo apt-get install libncurses5

cd /iraf/x11iraf/

wget http://iraf.net/ftp/iraf/x11iraf/x11iraf-v1.5DEV-bin.redhat.tar.gz

tar -zxf x11iraf-v1.5DEV-bin.redhat.tar.gz

mv lib.redhat lib.linux

mv bin.redhat bin.linux

Again keep hitting enter to select the default settings. When it finishes you should receive "Installation complete".

sudo ./install

rm x11iraf-v1.5DEV-bin.redhat.tar.gz

wget http://hea-www.harvard.edu/saord/download/ds9/linux/ds9.linux.6.0.tar.gz

tar -zxf ds9.linux.6.0.tar.gz

rm ds9.linux.6.0.tar.gz

sudo mv ds9 /usr/local/bin/

cd /iraf/extern/

mkdir tables stsdas

cd /iraf/extern/tables/

wget http://stsdas.stsci.edu/download/tables_3.11/tables3.11.tar.gz .

tar zxf tables3.11.tar.gz

rm tables3.11.tar.gz

cd bin.linux/

wget http://stsdas.stsci.edu/download/tables_3.11/tables3.11.bin.redhat.tar.gz .

tar zxf tables3.11.bin.redhat.tar.gz

rm tables3.11.bin.redhat.tar.gz

cd /iraf/extern/stsdas

wget http://stsdas.stsci.edu/download/stsdas_3.11/stsdas3.11.tar.gz .

tar zxf stsdas3.11.tar.gz

rm stsdas3.11.tar.gz

cd bin.linux

wget http://stsdas.stsci.edu/download/stsdas_3.11/stsdas3.11.bin.redhat.tar.gz .

tar zxf stsdas3.11.bin.redhat.tar.gz

rm stsdas3.11.bin.redhat.tar.gz

cd /iraf/extern/stsdas

python python/compileall.py ./python

python python/compileall.py ./python/*

Here you will have several lines saying it can't list various files. This is not an error and is just an artifact of using the *.

In your .bashrc file make an alias

alias goiraf='xgterm -ls -g 82x30+0+0 -bg bisque1 -fn fixed -fg gray16 -e cl &'

cd /home/user/

mkiraf

xgterm #Select "xgterm" as your IRAF shell when prompted

If it blinks and die with the message libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, do:

sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev

sudo ln -s libtermcap.so /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2

And do mkiraf again in the terminal.


The command 'goiraf' will now launch a complete IRAF session containing DS9, xgterm and ecl, based in ~/IRAF.

If you don't see stsdas or tables edit your extern.pkg file:

sudo gedit /iraf/iraf/unix/hlib/extern.pkg

With the following lines:

reset tables = /iraf/extern/tables/
task tables.pkg = tables$tables.cl

reset stsdas = /iraf/extern/stsdas/
task stsdas.pkg = stsdas$stsdas.cl


reset helpdb = "lib$helpdb.mip\
,noao$lib/helpdb.mip\
,tables$lib/helpdb.mip\
,stsdas$lib/helpdb.mip\
"

keep
