The UKIRT Survey Definition tool is a Java application and has been
tested
on Linux and Windows 2000 - our
lead platform is Linux. It should run on other platforms with the
required Java installations.
This page contains download and installation instructions; for usage information see the
SDT user manual.
Prerequisites
The Java environment required for the SDT is the same as for the
UKIRT Observing Tool. Please see the OT
download page for details.
Downloading
First, get the gzipped
tar file.
Installation
The current version of the SDT has been patched and includes libraries from the UKIRT Observing Tool allowing it to run as a stand-alone application. No special directory structure installation is required.
Running UKIRT-SDT
Linux users
If you have a java executable in your
path (you should have, to be able to run the OT) you should now be able
to run up the SDT:
% sdt/bin/sdt
or add the directory sdt/bin to your PATH
environment
variable and then type:
% sdt
Windows 2000 users
Go into the directory sdt\bin\ and click on the
ukirtot
batch icon. If you have a correctly installed JRE the SDT will run
without any further ado.
You can get a desktop shortcut as follows: go into the directory sdt\bin\,
right click on the sdt batch icon, and select "copy" from
the resulting menu; then right-click on the desktop and select "paste
shortcut". optionally rename the shortcut by right-clicking on it and
selecting "rename".
