HPUX/IRAF Installation Guide
HPUX/IRAF Installation Guide
Before installing HPUX/IRAF, one must 1) obtain an appropriate HPUX/IRAF
distribution, e.g., from the IRAF network archive on
iraf.noao.edu
(or by ordering a tape distribution from NOAO), 2) select the server or node
on which the system is to be installed and arrange for sufficient disk space
to hold the system, and 3) set aside sufficient time to do the
installation. If these directions are followed carefully and mistakes are
avoided the basic installation should only take a half hour or so.
Additional time may be required to customize the system, to configure the
local tape drives and other devices, set up IRAF networking, and so on.
This Installation Guide is intended primarily for sites installing IRAF on
an HP workstation running HPUX 10.20 or later. The development system used
to produce HPUX/IRAF was a 9000/730 running HP-UX B.10.20. Other popular
UNIX systems for which IRAF is available, e.g. Ultrix and SunOS, have their
own system specific IRAF installation guides.
