Distribution files are compressed tar files and can be unpacked as e.g.


% cd /iraf/iraf
% tar zxf /path_to/as.pcix.gen.gz


For the binaries you would run similar commands on the appropriate IB or NB distribution files in /iraf/irafbin/bin.<arch> and /iraf/irafbin/noao.bin.<arch> respectively.

See the installation guide for a complete example and details.
