Installation

Prerequisites

  1. Recent Firefox or Chrome browser, Python 3.11 or higher (but there are issues with Python 3.14).

  2. At least one ESO pipeline with EDPS workflow should be in your system. To install the desired ESO pipelines, follow the instructions in the ESO pipelines pages. NOTE: the apptainer installation method is currently not supported. After the installation, the esorex command must be in the path. To test whether the installation was successful, type

     esorex --recipes

A list of available recipes should appear.

  1. Install graphviz, fv, and ds9, which have to be included in the system path (definying aliases not enough). Graphviz can be easily installed via:

      sudo apt install graphviz (Debian, Ubuntu)
  sudo dnf install graphviz (Fedora)

    fv and ds9, are optional. To install them, follow the instructions in corresponding webpages. You can test whether these three packages are installed and their path are correctly set by typing on a terminal:

      dot -V
  fv  -version
  ds9 -version
