2. How to Install SIPGI
SIPGI is distributed in binary form for Linux and macOS systems as part of the PANDORA SUITE. The suite can be downloaded from the Pandora website
2.1. Linux
We distribute our code compiled on a Xubuntu 18.04 distribution; it should work on any recent distribution (having a GLIBC version >=2.27). Download the installer script and execute it:
shell> sh Pandora-1.x-Linux-x86_64.sh
Follow the on-screen instructions and install the suite in a directory of your choice.
Most of the software dependencies are included into the distribution. However a few of them are “system related” and must be met by the OS on which you are installing our code; in particular our code relies on the mesa-GLU libraries that are not always installed by default. A check is made at the end of the installation; in case of error check if the mesa-GLU libraries are installed or contact us at lbt-italia-spec@inaf.it.
Once installed SIPGI can be launched using the command <installation-dir>/bin/sipgi.
2.2. macOS
Download the DMG file and open it. Double-click on the Pandora.pkg file and the suite will be installed into the /Applications/Pandora directory. Depending on the security level of your system an “unidentified developer” error can appear; in this case right-click on the Pandora.pkg file and select Open to override this issue.
Once installed SIPGI can be launched in two ways:
from the command line with the command /Applications/Pandora/bin/Sipgi
using the macOS app located in /Applications/Pandora
