INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DSS. Version 2.56 (Mar 20, 2003) Please refer to the README.html file for information about the package. Below are the short installation instructions for the ESO/ST-ECF version of "dss", a software originally produced by STScI for extracting data from the Digital Sky Survey. This distribution includes versions of this software for HP/UX (11.), Solaris 8, Linux (x86 platforms) and MacOSX. This installation requires about 55MB of disk space. The changes made in this version with respect to the original ones are the following: o Provide a MacOS X release of the software. o includes new image headers for the red, blue and IR dss2 surveys. In particular, the IR survey is now almost complete. o fixed a problem with filename length. Now a file name can be up to 20 characters. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cd /scisoft # Or whatever place you choose mv dss dss-old # only if you had dss before # # get the software using your favorite tool at the following address: # cd # e.g., /scisoft ftp://ftp.eso.org/archive/pub/dss/dss.tar.gz gunzip -c dss.tar.gz | tar xf - cd dss cp scripts/dss1dsk /usr/local/bin/dss1 cp scripts/dss2dvd /usr/local/bin/dss2 # or where ever your put your local executables # (You might need root priviledges) # Please change /usr/local/bin/dss1 and dss2 # to reflect the exact software location if # /scisoft is not the final location of the software. # for example: # setenv DSS_ROOT /usr/local/dss # Each of the "bin.$ARCH" sub-directory contains 1 executable: the dss # program itself That should do. You can now use "dss1" to access the 1st, 25 micron sky survey or "dss2" to access the second epoch survey at 15 micron resolution.
