Additional Data & Packages
The tarballs above provide the complete set of IPP software and configuration files. Below, we list additional resources which may be needed. This includes the complete set of external Perl and C libraries, as well as certain astrometric reference data sets. The full IPP system requires an astrometric and photometric reference catalog in the DVO database format. We have constructed several based on the USNO-B, 2MASS, and Tycho catalogs. The one we use for PS1 data by default contains synthetic photometry in the PS1 grizy bands generated from the merged USNO-B + 2MASS database. The full PS1 Synthethic Database is roughly 100GB, and is not currently available via a web link. The USNO-B-only version can be constructed from a user's copy of the USNO-B raw catalog: see Building the USNO-B DVO catalog. Because of the storage format for 2MASS, however, the 2MASS to DVO conversion is more challenging. The IPP will work fine with just the USNO-B version, though the astrometric accuracy is reduced. The versions given below can be used for testing and for large-format, shallow cameras. The bright version consists of objects in the full merged catalog with magnitudes in any band less than 14.0. The simtest version consists of data from the full magnitude range, but only for the region of the sky used by the IPP simtest suite. It is necessary to use the full-density catalog otherwise there will be too few reference stars in the small simtest field-of-view.

Dependencies
This is the dependency tree of IPP software.
External Dependencies
Libraries
Many of the external libraries (shown above in gold) that IPP software depends on have been mirrored locally for convenience.
Perl
A few IPP software packages are dependent on Perl5 and several Perl module packages available from CPAN. The minimum version of Perl needed for IPP code is Perl 5.6.x or later.
This is the Perl module dependency tree for IPP software.
As with the IPP dependencies, many of the required Perl modules have been mirrored locally for convenience.
