Applying The 6.33.2 Patch To Your Existing 6.33[.1] Installation


    See the HEASOFT 6.33.2 Release Notes for more information about this patch.


  • For users of the source code installation:

    A patch installer script is available to aid you in updating your existing 6.33 (or 6.33.1) source code installation. To use it, simply download the script , save it in the directory containing your existing heasoft-6.33[.1] source code folder, initialize HEASOFT, and then run it: 

      sh hdpatch_6.33.2
    This script will retrieve the necessary patch file (requires wget), then rebuild and re-install all relevant components. Note that any components not included in your original download will be ignored. It may take a while to finish, so please be patient while it runs.


  • For users of a pre-compiled binary installation:

    Choose the appropriate tar file from the list below and unpack it under your existing heasoft-6.33[.1] binary folder, and after doing so, run lhea-fixperl to update the headers of the new NICER Perl scripts: 

    lhea-fixperl $HEADAS/bin/nicerl2 $HEADAS/bin/niscorpspect $HEADAS/bin/nicerversion
    If successful, the task fversion should report v6.33.2, and the task nicerversion should report v12A.
