Scisoft
Science Software Collection

Scisoft is a project within the European Southern Observatory (ESO) to provide a uniform collection of astronomical software utilities for ESO sites and the astronomical community in general. The current version, Scisoft 7, June 2007, is only available for Fedora Core 6 Linux although (unofficially), it may be compatible with other linux distributions as well. The previous version, Scisoft v6.1 September 2006, was for Fedora Core 3, Scisoft v5 was available for RedHat9 and earlier versions are also available for Solaris 8, Linux Redhat 6.2 and HP-UX 11. Earlier versions however are not recommended. See the ESO Scisoft web site for more information on current and previous versions.

MAST currently provides ftp access for Scisoft 7.0 . Installation information, release notes, and a list of contents are also included in this directory. Note ESO plans to make Scisoft 7.1 available soon.

In addition to the Linux versions, Scisoft for Mac OSX has been prepared and made available to the public by Nor Pirzkal and Francesco Pierfederici. See their web site for more information.
