```{warning}
The installation of the above packages requires full sudo/root
permissions on your laptop. If not available, get in touch with us.
```

## IDL (v9.0)

```{note}
The current version is 9.0. Earlier versions are not supported.
Also, we have no experience with [IDL under Windows](#idl-on-windows).
**Do not install IDL v9.1 or later**, as we do not have a license for them.
```

### 1) Obtain the file

Download from:
[https://cloud.iac.es/index.php/s/29t3RQ9qFoHp82F](https://cloud.iac.es/index.php/s/29t3RQ9qFoHp82F)

**Note:**
* Mac Intel → `x86_64`
* Mac ARM (M1–M3) → `arm64`

Mac users must also install **XQuartz**: [https://www.xquartz.org/](https://www.xquartz.org/)

### 2a) Linux

Uncompress:

```bash
tar -zxvf idl90-linux.tar.gz
```

Install (as root or with sudo):

```bash
sudo ./install.sh
```

Recommended answers:

* Install path: `/usr/local/nv5`
* IDL Help files? → **Yes**
* Create symbolic links? → **Yes**
* Run License Administrator? → **No**

### 2b) Mac

Run the installer package and answer **No** when asked about running the License Wizard.

If macOS blocks the installer ("cannot check for malicious software"), see:
[https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/apple-cant-check-app-for-malicious-software-mchleab3a043/12.0/mac/12.0](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/apple-cant-check-app-for-malicious-software-mchleab3a043/12.0/mac/12.0)

### 3a) Enable access to IAC floating licenses

Licensing for IDL 8.9/9.0 has changed relative to IDL 8.8.

While connected to IAC network (or VPN), go to the license directory:

* Linux: `/usr/local/nv5/license/`
* Mac: `/Applications/NV5/license/`

Create the file `lic_server.dat` containing:

```
https://zuko:40443
```

If needed, try `zuko.ll.iac.es`.

From outside the IAC, use VPN:
[https://www.iac.es/en/user/login?destination=/en/intranet/applications-and-services/computing/remote-vpn-connection](https://www.iac.es/en/user/login?destination=/en/intranet/applications-and-services/computing/remote-vpn-connection)

```{warning}
License borrowing is no longer supported.
```

### 3b) Node locked license

If you have a node-locked license, contact: **[sinfin@iac.es](mailto:sinfin@iac.es)**.

### 4) (Mac only)

Define aliases (check paths before using):

```bash
alias idl='/Applications/NV5/idl90/bin/idl'
alias idlde='/Applications/NV5/idl90/bin/idlde'
```

### 5) Complete installation

You may need to log out or reboot to finalize installation.

cd ${HOME}/py310_virtualenvs/
python3.10 -m venv main
source main/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip wheel
pip install numpy scipy matplotlib astropy pandas scikit-image
```

Activate later with:

```bash
source ${HOME}/py310_virtualenvs/main/bin/activate
```

Deactivate with:

```bash
deactivate
```

### Mac

Options:

* **MacPorts** (supported) → [https://www.macports.org/](https://www.macports.org/)
* **HomeBrew** → [https://brew.sh/](https://brew.sh/)
