TABLES/STSDAS 3.6 Released

November 16th, 2006 by admin

TABLES and STSDAS 3.6 were released today, with binaries built for both PPC MacOS X and “Macintel” systems. You can check them out from the STScI STSDAS download page.

Also released was STSCI Python. I don’t really know what that is but it has to do with Pyraf.

I will endeavor to build .pkg installers for these before the end of the month. Until then, remember how to install them. First, STSDAS requires TABLES. So, install TABLES first.

1. Download the TABLES source and expand it into /iraf/extern/tables/
2. Download the appropriate TABLES binaries and expand them into /iraf/extern/tables/bin.macosx or /iraf/extern/tables/bin.macintel.
3. Change the symlink of bin to the appropriate bin.whatever
4. Do the same procedure with STSDAS, putting the source in /iraf/extern/stsdas and the binaries in the appropriate /iraf/extern/stsdas/bin.something directory, also fixing the bin symlink.
5. Edit the extern.pkg file (often, this merely involves un-commenting (removing the #) from a few lines).

Then you should be good to go. Questions? Feel free to leave a comment.
