fv is built and distributed as a standard component of the large HEASOFT package of programs for manipulating and analyzing FITS data files, but you can also download the latest version of the fv binary executable by itself from this page. Versions of fv are available for Linux and Mac OS X, and an older version is still available for Windows PCs (we hope to be able to offer v5.5.x for Windows in the near future). In each case the distribution is completely self-contained and includes several sample FITS files that can be used to explore fv's capabilities. For information about Hera, please visit the Hera web page, and visit the Student Hera web page for more information about the Hera interface designed for students and teachers. If you experience problems using the following FTP links to download this software, click here for instructions on downloading fv using 'HTTP'. Executable Binary Distributions
LinuxSource Code DistributionDownload the PC Linux (64-bit) tar file. To unpack it, type:> gunzip -c fv5.5.2_Linux.tar.gz | tar xf - (Note that your browser may have unzipped this file for you already, in which case it will have the suffix ".tar" instead of ".tar.gz").This will create a fv5.5.2 directory containing a platform-specific directory (pre-compiled binaries and libraries used by fv), associated documentation, sample data, and sample scripts. Once unpacked, fv can be run immediately; either add the fv5.5.2 directory to your executable PATH environment variable, or 'cd' to that directory and then type './fv'. A distribution of the latest FV source code (or binaries) is available via the standard HEASoft downloads here.
