Download the latest HIPE User Release (HIPE 14.2.1)
What is HIPE?
HIPE stands for 'Herschel Interactive Processing Environment'. This is the software for browsing, analyzing and reprocessing Herschel data.
Which version of HIPE do I need?
The latest version of HIPE 14.2.1 will be the version of HIPE that will be used during the workshop. This version of HIPE 14.2.1 can be downloaded from the links below. Please install HIPE on your personal laptop (minimum requirements: RAM 4GB) prior to the start of the workshop following the installation instructions given below for the different operating systems. Report any problems during the installation process through the
HSC Helpdesk.
Important note: You have to keep your internet connection on during the process as you download all the necessary components during the installation.
