STSDAS Software

Before You Begin...

STSDAS runs in the IRAF environment. If you do not already have IRAF installed on your local system, you will need to get and install IRAF before installing STSDAS. If you do not have IRAF, you can retrieve it from the IRAF web site at NOAO.

STSDAS v3.0 was built and tested under IRAF v2.12.1.

IRAF v2.12.1 is currently available for the follow platforms:

Solaris
Red Hat
Mac OS X
Slackware
FreeBSD
DEC Alpha - Digital Unix (OSF1)
HP-UX
SGI IRIX

Binaries for Tables/Stsdas v3.0 are currently available for the following platforms:

Solaris 5.8 and 2.5.1
Red Hat 6.1 and later (these will work on Slackware and Mandrake as well)
Mac OS X 10.1.5
DEC Alpha - Digital Unix (OSF1 v5.1)
HP-UX 10.7

All other platforms should do a source installation following the directions available in the doc directory of stsdas and tables and from the links below.

Summary of the installation instructions:

Complete installation instructions and information for system administrators is provided in the PostScript file, STSDAS Site Manager's Installation Guide and Reference. A PDF format file can be found here, if you prefer.

Please register your site as an STSDAS user when you install the software. This will enable us to keep you informed of software upgrades and other information. The registration form also contains check boxes that can be used to request STSDAS software on magnetic tape.

If you have any problems with the installation or software retrieval, contact the STScI Help Desk: help@stsci.edu
