This is a simple way to install iraf and related software, it works well in my MacBook Pro !

[手动安装方法]

There may be situations where it is necessary or convenient to install Ureka manually. In such cases, you can download the Ureka tarfile, unpack it, and configure it by following these steps:

1. Download the appropriate tarfile to the desired install location :

• 32-bit Linux

• 64-bit Linux

• MacOS 10.6 - Snow Leopard

• MacOS 10.7 - Lion

• MacOS 10.8 - Mountain Lion

• MacOS 10.9 - Mavericks   ［I downloaded  this tarfile］

2. Unpack the tarfile (use the correct file name):

    abren@BNU:~$ tar zxf Ureka_osx-6_64_1.4.1.tar.gz  

3. Run ur_normalize:

    abren@BNU:~$ Ureka/bin/ur_normalize

   Normalizing Ureka found in /home/yourname/Ureka
   Updating library references...
   ..Ureka core
   ..IRAF
   ..variant: common
   Updating symbolic links...
   ..variant: common

   Ureka needs to add a few lines to your login scripts.  It can
   check if they are already there and automatically add them if
   needed.  Answer yes unless you know a particular reason to
   answer no.
   Automatically configure login scripts?  Enter yes or no [yes]: yes
   ==============================================
   Ureka is installed.  Log in a new terminal window and type the command
     ur_setup
   or
     ur_setup common primary
   to select your Ureka environment.  'ur_setup -h' will show some help.

   ur_normalize takes a few minutes to run.  This configuration scriptupdates various paths in the Ureka installation directory.  You willbe asked to provide a name for the installation, and for permissionto edit your login scripts.  These interactive questions can beavoided by calling ur_normalize with the -u flag.

Note: Step 3 must be repeated if the installation directory is ever relocated.

[使用设置Ureka]Using Ureka

Each time you wish to use Ureka (in a new terminal session), you must setup your environment by calling ur_setup.  This setup script, described below in more detail, sets various environment variables that Ureka depends on.  ur_forget provides a way to purge your environment of Ureka variables.

ur_setup

Basic usage - If you only have one Ureka installation and are using the common variant, then you can call ur_setupwithout any arguments:

  abren@BNU:~$ ur_setup

This script removes all Ureka variables from your environment:

  abren@BNU:~$ ur_forget

Shortcuts

On most systems, the installation process will create a Desktop or menu shortcut that can be clicked on to launch a terminal session with the Ureka environment already selected.  If you click on a Ureka shortcut, then there is no need to call ur_setu

[测试Ureka安装]Testing a Ureka Installation

It is a good idea to test Ureka after installation.  Following a callto ur_setup, issue this command:

The ur_test script will run a series of tests, and provide a summaryof how many tests passed and failed.  If there were failures, a moredetailed log will be produced.  Here is an example of output from aur_test run in which one error and one failure occurred.

If you experience a problem and need to request help from support, please be sure to include the logs producedbyur_test.

[IRAF设置]IRAF Set Up

We get a lot of questions about how to create login.cl and the uparm directorythat IRAF and PyRAF expect to find.  There is a utility included wtih IRAFcalled mkiraf that initializes these files for you.

Many people like to create an iraf directory in their home to store theseconfiguration files.  Then, they typically will change directories into thatlocation before starting IRAF.

  abren@BNU:~$ mkdir ~/iraf    

  abren@BNU:~$ cd ~/iraf    

  abren@BNU:~$ mkiraf

After typing mkiraf, you will be asked to enter a terminal type.  We recommendentering “xgterm”, since there are several graphical interfaces in IRAF thatoutput commands for xgterm and they won’t work correctly in other terminals.

[大功告成] Done

最近在用的时候输入: ur_setup 说没有此命令，然后进入bin目录重新装了下好了；

ABR:~ abREN$ cd /Applications/Ureka/bin

ABR:~ abREN$ ur_normalize
