Installing IRAF on Windows XP

yoav green wrote on Jan 13, 2010

Hi,
I am a considerably new user of IRAF. In my office PC I have a Linux OS, however my laptop and home computers have XP as their OS. I would like to know whether or not I can install IRAF on these computers and if so, how difficult of an installation would it be? I was not able to find an XP installation guide on the site.
Thanks,

If you still have problems write back with specific questions. In general the the install guide will work by simply using the 'cygwin' arch name where you see e.g. 'redhat' in the doc. For XP, you'll need to install Cygwin as well as the 'csh' and 'X11' packages.
