The beta version of polsalt (currently available on github) and pySALT version 0.5 have been installed on this docker.
- In a terminal, type
sudo apt update
- Install the Docker container using
sudo apt install docker.io
- Create a folder where the SALT FITS files will be placed:
mkdir /home/<username>/fits
- Copy the FITS files you want to reduce to this folder.
- Run the Docker container using the command:
sudo bash polsalt-run.sh
- Download the polsalt-run.sh here
- Once in the Docker container, you will find the polsalt directory, and this is where the software is installed.
- Run the following command:
cp /polsalt/scripts/reducepoldata_sc.py /polsalt/scripts/personal/reducepoldata_sc.py
- Important note: The reducepoldata_sc.py script is the main reduction script of the software and users sometimes need to edit this script. With the above command the user creates a copy of this file and can edit it in a separate folder (/polsalt/scripts/personal/). Your own code can also be placed here.
- To run the polSALT software on your data, use the following:
python polsalt/scripts/personal/reducepoldata_sc.py /pysalt/YYYYMMDD
- Note that /pysalt in the above command is a symbolic link pointing the docker to the user's data folder.
Not yet available. The docker for this OS is still being developed.
