Linux: You can rsync from the EAO's builds in Hilo if you want a 64-bit Linux build. These are built on CentOS 6

To obtain a cutting-edge build of the Starlink Software Collection, run one of the following commands:

Mac OSX: The following OSX nightly build is created on a machine running Yosemite. We believe it should work on versions as old as Snow Leopard, but we do not have the ability to test on any older versions of OSX

Caveats:

If you encounter any problems with these builds, email scicom@eao.hawaii.edu for assistance.

Post-installation Run-up

To set up your environment for use with the Starlink Software Collection, first set the STARLINK_DIR environment variable to the location of the stardev directory. For example, if you rsync into to /home/person/software, set the STARLINK_DIR environment variable to /home/person/software/stardev. It is recommended that you edit the stardev/etc/login, stardev/etc/cshrc and stardev/etc/profile files to set this environment variable at the top of each file.

To use the Starlink Software Collection on csh and related shells (like tcsh), source $STARLINK_DIR/etc/login and $STARLINK_DIR/etc/cshrc. On sh and related shells (like bash), source $STARLINK_DIR/etc/profile.

ORAC-DR for WFCAM

Because of the large size of WFCAM calibration files, they have been split off from the main download tarballs, as not everybody will be reducing WFCAM data using ORAC-DR. These calibrations can be downloaded here (901MB .tar.gz). The tar file will unzip into a wfcam/ directory in the directory you downloaded the tar file to. To install these calibration files, copy the directory into the $STARLINK_DIR/bin/oracdr/cal/ directory, thus creating the $STARLINK_DIR/bin/oracdr/cal/wfcam/ directory containing the calibration files.
