Welcome

RefHeadingToc523843489 This document describes the installation of the INTEGRAL Off-line Scientific Analysis (OSA) version 11.2 on Linux and the use of the docker image.

Requirements:

As from OSA11, OSA depends on HEASOFT for rebinning the IBIS/ISGRI and JEM-X response matrices. It is thus required to have it installed an initialized (see https://heasarc.nasa.gov/lheasoft/ ). Due to non-backwards compatible changes in rbnrmf, we require Heasoft at most 6.27. OSA is compatible with Heasoft 6.24, 6.25, 6.26, and 6.27, NOT COMPATIBLE with Heasoft 6.28 onward.

OSA is composed of the following packages:

In order to successfully analyse INTEGRAL data, you will have to download and install at least the three packages

via the following URL

and retrieve observation data from the INTEGRAL archive

Image osainstguide111-img002 The download and use of OSA_TESTDATA is optional. It is meant to check the correct installation of OSA by running test scripts on a small data set.

Image osainstguide111-img002 OSA software comes as a binary package or may be installed from the source code.

We strongly recommend that you first install and test the binary package for your operating system(s).

Image osainstguide111-img002 You can use the binary packages to compile and link your own software with OSA libraries. If you have problems doing so, please read Appendix A on `Troubleshooting'.

This document is part of the INTEGRAL analysis user documentation available at http://www.isdc.unige.ch/integral/analysis. In particular, detailed information about the software is provided in the instrument specific user manuals.

If you have any problems installing OSA please consult the 'Frequently Asked Questions' at http://www.isdc.unige.ch/integral/analysis#FAQ to check for an answer to your question or send an E-mail to the INTEGRAL help-desk at mailto:inthelp@rssd.esa.intinthelp@sciops.esa.int. See the appendix on `Troubleshooting' for information you should provide to help us solving the problem you have.
