Installing the needed VO tools

It is important to have installed beforehand in your computers the VO tools to be used in the School. They are the following:

  • ALADIN: Download the Aladin.jar file (Linux users only) and execute it from a terminal using "java -jar Aladin.jar". MacOS and Windows users: download the suitable files here. Aladin is compatible with Java releases from Java release 1.7 to the last one. More information here.
  • TOPCAT: Download the topcat-full.jar file and execute it from a terminal using “java -jar topcat-full.jar” (Linux and Windows users. For windows users, double-click on the topcat-full.jar file may also work). MacOS users: download the suitable file here. TOPCAT is written in the Java language using the Java 2 Standard Edition version 8, and should run on any Java SE 8 or more recent system. See the documentation here.
  • VOSA: Web server (you don't need to install anything). All participants must register in advance.
  • STILTS: Download the stilts.jar file. MacOS users may need to install JDK to be able to run STILTS. See the documentation here.
  • Jupyter Notebook: See the Jupyter Notebook webpage for details. In your Jupyter Notebook environment you need to have installed the following python libraries:
    • Pyvo: In its last version. See Pyvo webpage for installation details.
    • Requests: In its last version. See Requests webpage for installation details.
    • MOCPy: In its last version. See MOCPy webpage for installation details.

For a correct development of the school, we encourage all participants to test Aladin, TOPCAT and STILTS following this short video and using this file.
