+Introduction
+.PP
+Before installing AIX/IRAF on a RS/6000, one must 1) obtain an appropriate
+AIX/IRAF distribution, e.g., from the IRAF network archive on
+\f(CWiraf.noao.edu\fR (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.
+.PP
+This Installation Guide is intended primarily for sites installing IRAF on a
+RS/6000 running AIX 3.2 or later. Other popular UNIX systems for which IRAF
+is available, e.g. SunOS, Ultrix, IRIX, HPUX, A/UX etc., have their own
+system specific IRAF installation guides.
+
+.NH
+Installing AIX/IRAF
+.PP
+Although the details of how AIX/IRAF is installed or updated depend upon the
+type of distribution and the desired local system configuration, the basic
+procedure is always the same. First one obtains the distribution files,
+then one follows the procedure outlined below to install the system. Most
+of these steps should be performed while logged in as IRAF; superuser
+permission is required in the final stages of the installation, to run the
+\fIinstall\fP script.
+.PP
+System managers familiar with the installation of typical UNIX programs
+should beware that IRAF, being a large system in its own right and not a
+UNIX program, does not always follow to the usual conventions. It is wise
+to read and adhere to the installation instructions to avoid problems.
+.XS
+\fR# Prepare the root IRAF directory.\fP
+if new installation
+ create iraf account
+else if updating an old installation
+ save locally modified files; delete old system
+
+\fR# Install the files.\fP
+login as iraf
+unpack the core system distribution
+configure the BIN directories
+
+\fR# Merge local revisions into new system.\fP
+if updating an old installation
+ merge locally modified files back into new system
+
+run the iraf install script to complete the installation
+checkout the new system
+.XE
+.PP
+If problems should arise during the installation help is available via the
+IRAF HOTLINE (602-323-4160), or by sending email to \f(CWiraf@noao.edu\fP.
+
+.NH 2
+Prepare the root IRAF directory
+.NH 3
+If updating an existing IRAF installation...
+.PP
+If you are updating an existing IRAF installation then you will be replacing
+IRAF by the new version, and IRAF should already have an account and root
+directory on the desired host system. You should save any locally modified
+files and delete the old system, e.g., login as IRAF and enter something
+like the following.
+.XS
+% cd $iraf\(dg
+% tar -cf /scr0/oiraf.tar local dev unix/hlib
+% /bin/rm -rf *
+.XE
+.FS
+\(dg\0\(CW$iraf\fP symbolizes the UNIX pathname of the root IRAF directory.
+If no "iraf" environment variable is defined just supply the actual pathname.
+.FE
+.PP
+There are many possible variations on this, e.g., you could use \fImv\fR to
+move the above directories to someplace outside the main IRAF directory
+tree. Although it is probably simplest and safest to save entire
+directories as in the example, in practice only a few files are likely to
+have been modified. These are the following.
+.XS
+dev/graphcap
+dev/hosts
+dev/tapecap
+dev/termcap
+hlib/extern.pkg
+hlib/login.cl
+hlib/zzsetenv.def
+local/.login
+.XE
+.PP
+Once the old system has been deleted you are ready to install the new one,
+as described in \(sc2.2. It is important to delete the old system first to
+avoid creating junk files or directories when the new system is installed
+(due to file or directory name changes or deletions). Once the new system
+has been restored to disk, do \fInot\fR merely restore the files saved above,
+as you will need to carefully merge local changes into the versions of the
+files supplied with the new IRAF release (more on this later).
+.NH 3
+If installing IRAF for the first time...
+.PP
+If you are installing IRAF for the first time then the first step is to set
+up a new account for the user `\f(CWiraf\fP'. This is necessary for IRAF
+system management, which should always be done from the IRAF account. The
+IRAF account has special login files which set up a custom UNIX environment
+for IRAF system management. Having an IRAF account provides a convenient
+place (the IRAF system manager's login directory) to keep scratch files
+created during system configuration.
+.PP
+The location of the IRAF root directory is arbitrary. Our practice here is
+to locate the software in a system file storage area separate from the
+AIX system files (to simplify AIX upgrades), and then use a symbolic
+link such as /iraf or /usr/iraf to point to the actual root directory. This
+makes life simpler if IRAF is NFS mounted on several machines and it is
+later necessary to move the IRAF files. Try to keep the path to the
+physical IRAF root directory short to avoid filename truncation problems
+when IRAF is run.
+.PP
+The login directory for the iraf account should be $iraf/local (e.g.,
+/iraf/iraf/local), rather than the IRAF root directory $iraf as one might
+expect. This is done to provide a work area for local files separate from
+the main IRAF directory tree, to simplify updates and make it easier to keep
+track of what has been locally added and what is standard IRAF. In any
+case, make sure that when the IRAF account is set up the login directory is
+set correctly, or the IRAF environment will not be set up properly, and
+later problems are sure to result.
+.PP
+A typical IRAF installation consists of the main IRAF release, a number of
+BIN directories (the IRAF binaries), and additional directories for layered
+software such as STSDAS, PROS, and so on. If sufficient disk space is
+available to keep everything in one area the following directory structure
+is recommended.
+.XS
+/iraf/iraf \fR# iraf root directory ($iraf)\fP
+/iraf/iraf/local \fR# iraf login directory (~iraf)\fP
+/iraf/irafbin \fR# iraf BIN directories\fP
+/iraf/irafbin/bin.rs6000 \fR# RS/6000 binaries - iraf core system\fP
+/iraf/irafbin/noao.bin.rs6000 \fR# RS/6000 binaries - iraf NOAO package\fP
+/iraf/stsdas \fR# layered package\fP
+/iraf/xray \fR# layered package\fP
+ \fI(etc.)\fP
+.XE
+.PP
+For the purpose of this example we assume that the IRAF files are stored in
+/iraf; as we say this might be a link and the actual directory is
+arbitrary. Given this directory the IRAF root $iraf would be "/iraf/iraf/"
+and the login directory for the IRAF account would be /iraf/iraf/local. The
+binaries for the core IRAF system would be in /iraf/irafbin/bin.rs6000,
+with a link $iraf/bin.rs6000 pointing to this directory (more on this
+later).
+.PP
+Given the above directory structure the \f(CWpasswd\fR file entry for the
+IRAF account would be something like the following.
+.XS
+iraf:!:312:101:IRAF system login:/iraf/iraf/local:/bin/csh
+.XE
+.PP
+Do not worry about configuring the environment files for the new account as
+these will be created when the iraf system is later restored to disk.
+
+.NH 2
+Install the files
+.PP
+If you are installing from tape skip forward to \(sc2.2.2. If you are
+installing from a network distribution (i.e., from disk) continue with the
+next section.
+.NH 3
+Installing from a network distribution
+.PP
+AIX/IRAF is available over the network via anonymous ftp from the node
+\f(CWiraf.noao.edu\fR, in the subdirectory \f(CWiraf/v\fInnn\fP/AIX3\fR,
+where "\f(CWv\fInnn\fR" is the IRAF version number, e.g., subdirectory
+\f(CWiraf/v210/AIX3\fR for V2.10 AIX/IRAF for the RS/6000.
+.PP
+If IRAF is being installed from a network distribution all the architecture
+independent IRAF files for both the core IRAF system and the NOAO packages
+will be in the distribution file \f(CWas.aix3.gen\fR. This "file" is stored
+in the network archive as a directory wherein the large distribution file
+has been split into a number of smaller pieces, e.g.,
+.XS
+% ls as.aix3.gen
+CHECKSUMS as.aix3.gen.Z.12 as.aix3.gen.Z.26
+FILES.Z as.aix3.gen.Z.13 as.aix3.gen.Z.27
+as.aix3.gen.Z.00 as.aix3.gen.Z.14 as.aix3.gen.Z.28
+as.aix3.gen.Z.01 as.aix3.gen.Z.15 as.aix3.gen.Z.29
+as.aix3.gen.Z.02 as.aix3.gen.Z.16 as.aix3.gen.Z.30
+as.aix3.gen.Z.03 as.aix3.gen.Z.17 as.aix3.gen.Z.31
+ \fI(etc.)\fP
+.XE
+.LP
+Assume that the directory \f(CWas.aix3.gen\fR as shown above has been
+recreated somewhere on the machine on which IRAF is to be installed.
+We can restore the main IRAF source tree as follows.
+.XS
+% whoami
+iraf
+% cd $iraf
+% cat /\fIpath\fP/as.aix3.gen/as.* | uncompress | tar -xpf -
+.XE
+After the above finishes the root IRAF directory should appear as follows
+(this is for V2.10).
+.XS
+HS.AIX3.GEN bin.generic doc math pkg unix
+IS.PORT.GEN bin.rs6000 lib mkpkg sys
+bin dev local noao tags
+.XE
+The file \f(CWbin.rs6000\fR is a symbolic link to the BIN directory containing
+the RS/6000 AIX/IRAF binaries, which probably does not exist yet.
+Configuring the BIN directories is discussed in section \(sc2.2.3.
+.NH 3
+Installing from tape
+.PP
+If you have not already done so, log into the IRAF account so that the files
+when restored will belong to IRAF. Mount the distribution tape, which may
+be a cartridge tape, a 6250 bpi 9 track tape, a DAT tape, an Exabyte, or
+whatever.
+.PP
+IRAF distribution tapes consist of multiple files separated by tape marks,
+with a TOC (table of contents) file as the first file on the tape. To find
+out what is on the tape, rewind it and read out the TOC file as follows (the
+actual device name will likely be different than that shown in the examples).
+.XS
+% mt -f /dev/rmt0.1 rew; cat /dev/rmt0.1
+.XE
+This should cause a TOC file to be listed similar to the following, except
+for the file names which will vary depending upon what type of distribution
+you have (the file sizes may vary from what is shown). The example below is
+for a distribution of AIX/IRAF for the RS/6000, including the RS/6000 binaries.
+.XS
+0 Table of Contents
+
+1 AS.AIX3.GEN 65.0Mb IRAF, NOAO packages and AIX HSI sources
+2 IB.AIX3.RS6 31.7Mb RS/6000 binaries for IRAF system
+3 NB.AIX3.RS6 30.6Mb RS/6000 binaries for NOAO packages
+.XE
+.PP
+Here, the first column is the file number on the tape, the TOC file being
+file zero (the first distribution file is number one), the second column is
+the name of the tape file, the third column is the file size in megabytes
+(this tells you how much space will be needed to unpack the file on disk),
+and the last column is a description of the file contents.
+.PP
+There are three types of tape files in the example shown: the \f(CWAS\fR
+file, which is all the IRAF sources (the core IRAF system, NOAO packages,
+and the AIX host system interface), the \f(CWIB\fR files, or IRAF core
+system binaries, one for each architecture, and the \f(CWNB\fR files, or
+NOAO package binaries. The NOAO package sources are included in the
+\f(CWAS\fR file since most people requesting IRAF are expected to want the
+astronomical reduction software, although IRAF can be configured without
+this if desired. All of the file objects are UNIX \fItar\fR format files,
+with the exception of the TOC file which is a simple text file. The
+distribution files may be compressed if this was necessary to fit all the
+files on a tape.
+.PP
+In the above example, the \f(CWAIX3\fR in the file names indicates that
+these files are for IBM AIX systems. A Sun version 4 distribution is
+indicated by a \f(CWSOS4\fR in the file names, and a DECstation Ultrix
+distribution is indicated by a \f(CWDSUX\fP, and so on. In principle a
+given distribution tape may contain any combination of these files.
+.PP
+The following commands would suffice to restore the main IRAF system to
+disk, given the distribution tape described by the TOC file in our example
+above. Once again, the tape device file and possibly the block size will
+likely have to be changed to whatever is needed for the actual tape device
+used.
+.XS
+% whoami
+iraf
+% cd $iraf
+% mt -f /dev/rmt0.1 rew; mt -f /dev/rmt0.1 fsf 1
+% tar -xpf /dev/rmt0.1
+.XE
+.PP
+After the above tar file read operation, the tape is left positioned to
+\fIjust before the EOF of the file just read\fR, since \fItar\fP stops
+reading the file data before reading the physical EOF. Hence, an
+\fImt\0fsf\fR will be required to position to the next file on the tape.
+Any combination of \fIfsf\fP (forward skip file) or \fIbsf\fR (backward skip
+file) operations may be used to position to a file on a 9 track tape. On a
+some tape drives, it is safest to plan things so that only forward file
+skips are used, using a rewind and forward skip if it is necessary to
+position to an earlier file on the tape.
+.PP
+Once the main system, containing only sources, is installed it is possible to
+create one or more empty BIN directories for the executables, then compile
+and link the full system. More commonly one will merely read the precompiled
+executables off the distribution tape, as we discuss in the next section.
+.NH 3
+Configuring the BIN directories
+.PP
+In IRAF all the files specific to any particular software or hardware
+architecture are contained in a single directory called the BIN, or
+"binary", directory. To run IRAF you must install not only the \f(CWAS\fR
+(all-sources) directory tree, but the BIN directory for each architecture
+you wish to be able to run on. The IRAF core system and the NOAO packages
+have separate BIN directories.
+.PP
+The BIN directories for the IRAF core system or a layered package (such as
+NOAO) are located, logically or physically, in the root directory of the
+IRAF core system or layered package. Every layered package has its own set
+of BIN directories. In the distributed V2.10 system you will find the
+following BIN files (directories or symbolic links) at the IRAF root.
+.XS
+link bin -> bin.generic
+directory bin.generic
+link bin.rs6000 -> ../irafbin/bin.rs6000
+link noao/bin.rs6000 -> ../../irafbin/noao.bin.rs6000
+.XE
+.PP
+If the IRAF directory structure is set up as described in \(sc2.1.2, with
+$iraf located at iraf/iraf and the BIN directories stored in iraf/irafbin,
+then these links will not have to be modified. If a different directory
+structure is used you will have to modify the links accordingly.
+.PP
+The \fIbin\fR link and the \fIbin.generic\fR directory are required for the
+correct operation of the IRAF system software (\fImkpkg\fR) and are
+maintained automatically by the IRAF software management utilities.
+\fIUnder no circumstances should "bin" or "bin.generic" be modified or
+deleted\fR. It is a common error to manually delete the bin link and
+manually set it to bin.rs6000 or some other architecture. The bin.rs6000 link
+can be modified as desired but bin and bin.generic should be left alone.
+.PP
+Assume that the bin.rs6000 directory has been created somewhere (e.g. in the
+iraf/irafbin directory) and that the \f(CWib.aix3.rs6\fR distribution files
+for the core IRAF system RS/6000 binaries have been downloaded from the
+network archive. We can restore the RS/6000 binaries with the following
+commands.
+.XS
+% cd $iraf/bin.rs6000
+% cat /\fIpath\fP/ib.aix3.rs6/ib.* | uncompress | tar -xpf -
+.XE
+Similarly, to restore the NOAO package RS/6000 binaries:
+.XS
+% cd $iraf/noao/bin.rs6000
+% cat /\fIpath\fP/nb.aix3.rs6/nb.* | uncompress | tar -xpf -
+.XE
+This process is repeated for each architecture. In the case of a RS/6000
+system the standard IRAF distribution supports only the RS/6000 architecture
+as illustrated in the above examples.
+.PP
+The procedure for restoring a BIN directory from a tape distribution is
+similar to that described in \(sc2.2.2 for the core system. For example,
+.XS
+% cd $iraf/bin.rs6000
+% mt -f /dev/rmt0.1 rew; mt -f /dev/rmt0.1 fsf 2
+% tar -xpf /dev/rmt0.1
+.XE
+would restore the core system bin.rs6000 directory from a cartridge tape
+containing an uncompressed \f(CWib.aix3.rs6\fR as file 2 on the tape.
+
+.NH 2
+Merge local revisions back into the new system
+.PP
+If this is a new IRAF installation this step can be skipped. Otherwise,
+once the new system has been restored to disk any local revisions made to
+the previous IRAF installation should be merged back into the new system.
+See \(sc2.1.1 for a list of the files most likely to be affected.
+When propagating revisions made to these files, be sure to not replace the
+entire file with your saved version, as the version of the file in the new
+release of IRAF will often contain important additions or changes which
+must be preserved. It is best to merge your revisions into the version of
+the file which comes with the new IRAF.\(dg
+.FS
+\(dgThe UNIX utility \fIdiff\fP is useful for comparing files to see
+what has changed.
+.FE
+This task will be easier if the revisions have been localized as far as
+possible, e.g., keep all \f(CWtermcap\fP additions together at the head of
+the file, so that they may merely be transferred to the new file with the
+editor. The task of propagating revisions will also be much easier if
+detailed notes have been kept of all revisions made since the the last
+release was installed.
+.PP
+Beginning with IRAF version 2.8, one should no longer install locally added
+software in the core system LOCAL package. This significantly complicates
+updates and is no longer necessary as, due to the layered software
+enhancements introduced in V2.8 IRAF, it is now straightforward for each
+site to maintain their own custom LOCAL package external to the core IRAF
+system. The core system LOCAL is now only a \fItemplate-local\fR to be
+copied and used as the starting point for a custom LOCAL layered package.
+The layered software enhancements, and the procedure for building a custom
+LOCAL, are discussed further in the \fIUNIX/IRAF Site Manager's Guide\fR.
+
+.NH 2
+Run the INSTALL Script
+.PP
+Once all of the IRAF files have been restored to disk the AIX/IRAF
+installation script must be run to complete the system installation. The
+install script modifies the system as necessary to reflect the new root
+directory and new default image storage and local bin directories, checks
+the mode and ownership of a number of files, installs a small set of IRAF
+commands in UNIX, and so on.
+.LP
+To make a trial run of the install script, enter the following commands:
+.XS
+% setenv iraf /\fIpath\fP/iraf/
+% cd $iraf/unix/hlib
+% source irafuser.csh
+% ./install -n
+.XE
+and answer the questions (don't forget the trailing `/' in the "setenv
+iraf"). The "-n" argument tells install to go through the motions without
+actually doing anything, so that one can see what will be done before
+committing to it.
+.PP
+Installing IRAF requires a few changes to be made to system directories
+outside the IRAF directory tree. Two fifo device entries are made in /dev.
+A symbolic link "iraf.h" is created in /usr/include. A number of links (cl,
+mkiraf, etc.) are made in /usr/local/bin or some similar directory which
+most users can be expected to have in their search path. The tape
+allocation task alloc.e is made suid root (there are no known security
+loopholes, although we cannot make any guarantees). A symbolic link
+imtoolrc is created in /usr/local/lib.
+.PP
+Following one or more trial "no execute" ("-n") runs to see what the install
+script will do, the install script should be run without the "-n" to
+complete the installation. This must be done by the superuser as superuser
+permission is required to carry out the necessary additions to UNIX.
+.PP
+It is necessary to run the install script separately on each node from which
+IRAF will be used. If a single version of IRAF is installed on a server and
+NFS mounted on one or more clients, the install script must be run first on
+the server and then on \fIeach\fR client (when installing on a client there
+will be warnings about insufficient permission to make changes to files on
+the NFS mounted partitions, which can be ignored). To install IRAF on a
+diskless client it may be necessary to run the install script \fIon the
+server\fR to do the install for the client, since the client's /usr/include
+and /dev directories may only be writable by root on the server. On some
+systems /usr is mounted read-only, and must be unmounted and remounted
+read-write before doing the installation to allow an entry to be made in
+/usr/include. Once the installation is complete the default mount access
+mode may be restored.
+.LP
+The exchange with the install script will be along the lines of the
+following.
+.XS
+% ./install -n
+new iraf root directory (/iraf/iraf):
+default root image storage directory (/d0/iraf):
+local unix commands directory (/usr/local/bin):
+install iraf for machine type rs6000
+old iraf root = /usr/iraf, old imdir = /d0/iraf
+installing iraf at /iraf/iraf, imdir=/d0/iraf, lbindir=/usr/local/bin
+proceed with installation? (yes):
+.XE
+.LP
+The "iraf root directory" is the value of $iraf (minus the trailing `/'in
+this case). The "root image storage directory" is the default place to put
+image data for users; the program may prompt with /tmp if it cannot find any
+likely looking data storage areas on your system, but /tmp is not a good
+place to put image data as the contents are deleted whenever the system
+reboots. The value entered should be the path to a public iraf subdirectory
+of a designated data or scratch disk on your system. Lastly, the "local
+unix command directory" is where the UNIX callable IRAF startup commands
+will be defined. This should be a UNIX directory which is in the default
+path of anyone who might want to use IRAF; /usr/local/bin is the most common
+value.
+.PP
+After answering with "yes" or hitting return in response to the "proceed with
+installation" query, the script will issue a series of messages as it checks
+the system and performs the installation, possibly answering additional
+questions in the process.
+
+.NH
+System Checkout
+.PP
+The basic IRAF system should be usable once the files have been restored to
+disk, the binaries have been configured or generated, and the install script
+has been run. To verify that the basic system comes up and runs
+successfully, login as iraf and startup the CL (IRAF command language) from
+the iraf account. You should be able to login as IRAF and type "cl" to
+start IRAF, using the login files which come with the distributed system.

+To more thoroughly test the installation it is a good idea to test IRAF from
+a user account. To do this you login to a user account and run the
+\fImkiraf\fR task to set up the IRAF login files. This will create or
+initialize the user's \f(CWuparm\fP (user parameter) directory, and create a
+new \f(CWlogin.cl\fP file. It may also be desirable to edit the
+user's \f(CW.login\fP file to modify the way the environment variable
+\f(CWIRAFARCH\fP is defined. This variable, required for software
+development but optional for merely using IRAF, must be set to the name of
+the desired machine architecture, in this case \fIrs6000\fR.

+The \fIcl\fR command should now start up the CL, which will clear the screen
+and print out a startup message. The standard test procedure included in
+Volume 1A of the \fIIRAF User Handbook\fP should be run to verify the
+installation.

+Appendix A. A Complete Example
+.PP
+Assume we are installing IRAF for the first time on a RS/6000 running IBM
+AIX 3.2.x or greater. The IRAF directories will be located at /u3/iraf
+using a symbolic link /iraf to point to this location. We will configure
+only rs6000 binaries, locating the BIN directories in the directory
+/iraf/irafbin. The local user commands will be placed in /usr/local/bin.
+We will be installing from a network distribution with the distribution
+files located in /scr0.
+.PP
+The first step is for the superuser to create an account for the fictitious
+user `\f(CWiraf\fP', with home directory /iraf/iraf/local and shell
+/bin/csh. The /u3/iraf directory is created owned by IRAF, and pointed to
+by the link /iraf. We then login as IRAF (a warning message will be printed
+since there is no login directory) and proceed as follows.

+This will fully install IRAF on a server or a standalone system. If this
+version of IRAF will be accessed via NFS by client nodes then the IRAF
+install script must be run on each client node as well. Installing IRAF
+does not allow one to access local tape drives, printers, and so on.
+Refer to the \fIUNIX/IRAF Site Manager's Guide\fR for information on how
+to configure IRAF for the local site.
