Herschel Interactive Processing Environment (HIPE)
The software package for Herschel Interactive Processing Environment (HIPE)
is the application that allows users to work with the Herschel data, including
finding the data products, interactive analysis, plotting of data and data
manipulation.
Download and Installation Instructions for HIPE 1.2.6
Important note: HIPE 1.2.6 is the official user release version of HIPE. A more advanced version of HIPE (2.0.0 Release Candidate 3), has been made available to the Science Demonstration Phase DP Workshop participants and can also be retrieved from here. You must be aware, however, that this version has only been released to support the December 2009 Science Demonstration Phase DP workshop. Not fully acceptance tested yet, it may still contain some bugs. However, it seems to work well for the processing of Science Demonstration Phase data, so you can use it for this purpose at your own risk.
Operating Systems Supported
- Windows XP and Windows Vista
- MacOS X 10.5 ("Leopard")
- Linux
Browsers Supported
- Firefox
- Safari
- Internet Explorer
- SeaMonkey
Minimum Hardware Requirements
- Windows/Linux 32-bit w/2GB RAM
- Windows/Linux/Mac 64-bit w/2GB RAM
Note: This is just to install the SW, but for data processing 4GB RAM is highly recommended. In some particular cases, up to 16GB RAM (or more) may be needed e.g. to process big maps made with PACS.
Information on the JRE (Java Runtime Environment)
The installers for Windows and Linux come with or without a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) bundled to the installer. The ones with JRE come in two flavors (32 bit and 64 bit). The second one allows to allocate more than 2.5 GB of memory to the installed software. Both flavours include the official java version (Java 6, update 7) compatible with the Herschel software. In the case of MacOS X, the installer instruction page contains a link to the Apple site to download the appropriate JRE.
You can determine which Java version you have installed on your machine by typing 'java -version' in a terminal window.
If you are absolutely sure that you have a version of java installed and set up correctly in your machine that is compatible with the Herschel software then you do not need to download the installer with the JRE. If you download the software without the JRE and have problems installing or running the software, uninstall the package and download the version including the JRE.

Installation Instructions
Windows Instructions:
Instructions
- After downloading, double-click
HIPE_1_2_6_INSTALLER.exe
Notes
- If you do not have a Java virtual machine installed, be sure to download the package above which includes one.
- Note that there is no installer available for Windows equipped with 64-bit processors. In such case, you can use the installer without JVM provided you have already java 64-bit installed.
- Windows 32bit systems require the allocation of 1.5GB of contiguous RAM memory for the installation. If you have a 2GB RAM memory laptop the HIPE installer may fail, if this memory is not available in the way it is required, as some users have recently reported.

HIPE_1_2_6_INSTALLER
Notes
- Be sure you have Java installed. You can download Java from Apple's site
- As
of release 0.6.6, java 1.6 needs to be enabled in order for the
installer to run. The option for that is under
Applications/Utility/Java/Java Preferences. Click on Java Preferences
and make sure that Java SE 6 appears in the pop-up window at the top of
both the 'Applet' and 'Application' fields. The java SE 1.6 is
available for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 and later.
- The
compressed installer should be recognized by Stuffit Expander and
should automatically be expanded after downloading. If it is not
expanded, you can expand it manually using StuffIt Expander 6.0 or later.
- If
you have any problems launching the installer once it has been
expanded, make sure that the compressed installer was expanded using
Stuffit Expander. If you continue to have problems, please contact
technical support.
