![]() ![]() Setenv STARLINK_DIR /home/MyUserName/star-2015A If you have installed star-2015A into the root directory, you will need to type the following commands into your terminal:Īnd again, similar to the bash shell instructions above, if you have installed star-2015A into a different directory you will have to give the path to that directory in your first command (and still run the following two commands) e.g.: The setup process is similar, but the commands are slightly different. Some astronomy departments still set up their computers to use tcsh as the default shell instead of bash. If you have installed your star-2015A somewhere other than into the root directory ( /) you would instead set the first command to point to the location of the installed star-2015A/ directory.Į.g., if you had put it in your home directory, you would type:Įxport STARLINK_DIR=/home/MyUserName/star-2015A If your terminal is running bash or other sh-like shell (this is the usual default on modern Linux distributions and Mac OS X) please type the following commands into your terminal: This will have to be done every time you open a new terminal, before you can run any Starlink commands. There should not be any other dependencies for installing the OS X build this is a change from previous releases which required manual installation of various libraries.īefore you can run the Starlink Software Collection, you need to run our setup scripts. To check if you have Java installed already, open a terminal, type java and see if the command is found. Java must be installed to use the Starjava programmes topcat, splat and frog. If you need to install the software, it can be found here. If you already have XQuartz installed but need to update it, you can run the application and go to the top menu and select: X11->Check for X11 updates. This release can be placed and run from anywhere, unlike previous OSX starlink releases which had to be installed into root.Īn up-to-date XQuartz X11 distribution must be installed. The tar ball will unzip into a star-2015A/ directory in the directory where you downloaded and un-tarred the tar file. However, EAO does not have the resources to test on all older versions of OSX and we now only have Yosemite OSX machines available in house. This OS X software was built on Yosemite, and we believe it works correctly on all versions from Snow Leopard onwards. On Arch Linux you may require old libraries from the AUR such as libtinfo, libjpeg6 and libpng12. We welcome reports of successful installation on other distributions. Up-to-date CentOS and Fedora Core 6 are distributions that are known to work. The release requires glibc 2.12 and fairly recent versions of the X11 libraries. if you had unzipped it into a /home/person/software directory, then the STARLINK_DIR environment variable would be set to /home/person/software/star-2015A. When using the software, set the STARLINK_DIR environment variable to the location of the star-2015A/ directory, i.e. The tar file will unzip into a star-2015A/ directory in the directory where you downloaded the tar file. ![]() Please note that the East Asian Observatory only runs Linux operationally and can only devote time and resources to Linux builds all others (including those not listed here) are supported on a best-efforts basis. Parties interested in releases for other platforms (i.e. Please note that the East Asian Observatory does not, however, have access to versions of OSX prior to Yosemite for testing or bug fixing. This Mac OS X software was built on Yosemite, but is believed to run on all versions from Snow Leopard onwards. To check your glibc version, type " rpm -qi glibc" on RedHat-related distributions. ![]() Older versions of glibc might not work and are currently not supported. The above Linux distribution is built on glibc 2.12. To check the MD5 checksum of your downloaded file, run either the md5sum, md5, or md5deep command, depending on which you have installed. Two distributions of the 2015A release of the Starlink Software Collection are available: ![]() Starlink Software Collection - Download and Install 2015A ![]()
