CURRENT STATUS

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 rsync from our nightly Linux 64 bit build you can do:

• rsync -avz --delete  rsync://starlink.eao.hawaii.edu/starlink.x86_64_nightly/ star-nightly/

This is automatically every morning (Hawaiian time), if there have been any updates to the Starlink git repo. It also includes Starjava and ORAC-DR, which rebuild more frequently if there are updates to their git repos.

To obtain a copy of the same build as are present in the Hilo, you can use:

• rsync -avz --delete --exclude=local --exclude=lost+found starlink.eao.hawaii.edu::starlink.x86_64/ star/ (for 64-bit Linux)

  rsync -avz --delete --exclude=local --exclude=lost+found starlink.eao.hawaii.edu::stardev.x86_64/ stardev/ (for 64-bit Linux, cutting edge)

Please note that these EAO builds are frequently in an unusual state, and the output from starversion may not be completely accurate. They are usually less up-to-date than the nightly build listed above. Starjava is often not updated for long periods of time in these two builds. They are not recommended for normal use.

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

• rsync -avz --delete --exclude=local --exclude=lost+found starlink.eao.hawaii.edu::starlink.osx/ stardev/ (OSX, nightly build)

Caveats:

• The 64-bit Linux build will only run on a system that is compatible with CentOS 6.
• These builds are cutting edge so new bugs may have crept in, or it is possible to rsync while an installation is happening.
• The 32-bit Linux build is not updated as frequently as the 64-bit build, as it is not a version that is run at the JAC very frequently.
• The stardev.x86_64 is more cutting edge then the starlink.x86_64 build. It is also built for /stardev which is useful because it will not clash with any /star libraries you may have from a previous system-wide install. Use the stardev rsync if you are on a site that uses /star.
• The Mac OS X builds are automatically generated and may not have been tested.

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.
