Installing Hera on Your Computer

Hera is a new service offered by the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) that enables complete interactive analysis of archived data products. Hera consists of a network of Linux server machines at the HEASARC which have the latest version of the tool packages developed at ASD to use with X-ray data in FITS format. College hera is a slimmed-down version. Note - your machine must be connected to the internet in order to run College Hera. If you have further questions or issues about installation or wish to contact us for help, view the installation notes.

Note: The download might take a while, especially when using a slow modem, so plan to do the installation well before you want to use the system. Clicking on the links below will lead you to a directory index. To download the installation module, click on the CollegeHera.exe link. When the download is complete, click on the icon, or on "run" to run the installation wizard. The installation wizard will guide you through the installation on your local computer.

Be sure to download College Hera!

The installation procedure will produce 3 icons for users, fv, Hera and Student Hera. To start up Student Hera, double click on that icon.
