-====== Physics and Astronomy-related software ====== +====== Locally-installed software ======
-Many packages such as cernlib, root, geant, etc are provided via the [[:computing:department:unix:software:ups|UPS product manager]]. Use the command ''ups list -aK+'' to get a brief listing of all such packages. More information is available in our introduction to UPS.+
  
-===== Mathematica ===== +While some software packages are automatically available to all users (they are included in the default PATH), many are available via the [[computing:department:unix:software:modules|modules system]] and have to be activated before use. 
-Supported on Tru64 and Linux. Start Mathematica using the command mathematica for the XWindows notebook-style interface, or math for the terminal-based interface.+ 
 +==== Mathematica ==== 
 + 
 +Activate using ''module load mathematica'', after which you can use the command ''mathematica'' for the XWindows notebook-style interface, or ''math'' for the terminal-based interface.

-===== MatLab ===== +==== MATLAB ==== 
-Supported on Tru64 and Linux. MatLab is started using the ''matlab'' command. Extensive online help is available.+ 
 +Use ''module load matlab'' to activate. 
 + 
 +After loading the module, matlab is started using the ''matlab'' command. Extensive online help is available. 
 + 
 +==== ROOT ==== 
 + 
 +The official documentation for ROOT may be found at [[http://root.cern.ch/]], but you should also check the much more useful [[:computing:contrib:root:|local documentation]] 
 + 
 +==== Supermongo ====
  
-===== CERN program library ===== +Supermongo is a plotting and analysis program widely used in the astrophysics community. 
-On Tru64 and Linux systems, cernlib is available through the UPS "setup" command ("setup cern"). Several versions of cernlib may be available - use "ups list" to find out which.+Use ''module load sm'' to activate, followed by ''sm'' to run.
  
-After running "setup cern", some environment variables (eg ''CERNLIB'') will be set to enable location of the libraries.+More info at [[http://www.astro.princeton.edu/~rhl/sm]] and possibly from [[http://www.rebeccastanek.com/super/]].
  
-   * [[http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/cernlib/|CERN Library Documentation]]+===== Astronomy Software and Packages ===== 
 +These applications and packages are available by default only to users in the //astro// group.
  
-===== ROOT ===== +==== STGMS ====
-Available via the UPS "setup root" command.+
  
-Documentation for ROOT may be found at [[http://root.cern.ch/]].+Space Telescope Grants Management System. Type ''stgms'' to run.
  
-===== MN_FIT ===== +==== Spitzer Pride ==== 
-Fitting and plotting package, available on Tru64 and Linux. More info at the [[http://www-zeus.physik.uni-bonn.de/~brock/mn_fit.html|MN_FIT homepage]].+Spitzer Pride includes Spot (Tool for Planning Observations) and Leopard (Archive Tool). Spot is a software package used by Spitzer observers to plan observations and submit proposals, and Leopard is a software package used to query the archive and download data. 
  
-===== Physica ===== +Available via UPS ''setup spitzer_pride'' command.
-Supported on both Tru64 and Linux. Info at [[http://www.triumf.ca/physica/html/homepage.html]].+
  
-Note, run physica by typing "run_physica" (this is a wrapper script which sets essential environment variables before starting the program).+==== SPICE (Spitzer IRS Custom Extraction) ==== 
 +The Spitzer IRS Custom Extraction (SPICE) software provides a JAVA-based tool that allows the user to interactively extract Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectra.
  
-===== Supermongo ===== +Type ''spice.csh'' to run.
-Plotting program, available on Tru64 and Linux - type "sm" to run. More info at [[http://www.astro.princeton.edu/~rhl/sm]] and possibly from [[http://www.astro.lsa.umich.edu/users/rstanek/sm.html]].+
