Hi Mike

If I want to install IRAF Debian System, which package should I use?

Thanks
Fuyan

Fuyan,

We don't have a specific set of binaries for Debian, the files you'll need are as.pcix.gen.gz (all the sources), ib.rhux.x86.gz (core binaries) and nb.rhux.x86.gz (NOAO binaries). These binaries are for Redhat but should still run, however you'll need to install them in a 'bin.linux' directory instead of bin.redhat, i.e. /iraf/irafbin/bin.linux (for IB) and /iraf/irafbin/noao.bin.linux (for NB). The complete installation process is described in the installation guide (i.e. http://iraf.net/irafdocs/pciraf/)

Cheers,
-Mike

There is a link in http://iraf.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=86295

You can download Fedora Core rpm packages and convert them to deb packages.

This page describes how to setup IRAF on a Ubuntu/Debian machine. Apart from the exact commands, there are some instructions in square brackets that need to be followed. Installation of X11IRAF, DS9, Tables, and STSDAS are included.
