IRAF
IRAF is the image reduction and analysis facility. It has been ITP'ed for debian, but is apparently not in debian due to some licensing wrangling.
Some older debianized packages appear to be available from ftp://iraf.noao.edu/contrib/debian/
It also appears that the User commnunity at iraf.net is reporting success on ubuntu (however vaguely).
Here's some information Fernando got off the IRAF maintainers:

There are no particular issues assuming you use the "linux" architecture and our distribution. The various debian packages *do* have known problems with compiling locally and/or running at all and appear to have since been abandoned by the package maintainer. 64-bit systems still aren't supported but other wise proceed with a normal installation using the LNUX architecture and you should be fine. Cheers, Mike Fitzpatrick -------------------------- NOTE: As of Jan 1, 2006 NOAO no longer operates a HelpDesk for IRAF at iraf@noao.edu. Support is being moved to a forum-based system at http://iraf.net, please post future questions to that site. Thanks.
IRAF INSTALLATION
Binaries/Packages for IRAF installation: The source/binaries can be found here
- as.pcix.gen.gz All-Sources (main IRAF distribution)
- ib.lnux.x86.gz Core system binaries for Linux (generic)
- nb.lnux.x86.gz NOAO package binaries for Linux (generic)
- patch2a IRAF V2.12.2a patch release files
Create a local user iraf (pass: iraf) with csh shell and home directory at:
usr/local/iraf/iraf/local (Use the iraf account for installation and maintenance)
Create directories under /usr/local/:
metis:/usr/local> su cdelacruz metis:/usr/local> mkdir iraf metis:/usr/local> chown -R iraf:iraf iraf metis:/usr/local/iraf> cd iraf metis:/usr/local/iraf> mkdir iraf metis:/usr/local/iraf> cd iraf metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf> mkdir local metis:/usr/local/iraf> mkdir irafbin metis:/usr/local/iraf> cd irafbin metis:/usr/local/iraf/irafbin> mkdir bin.linux metis:/usr/local/iraf/irafbin> mkdir noao.bin.linux metis:/usr/local/iraf/irafbin> cd .. metis:/usr/local/iraf> mkdir x11iraf metis:/usr/local/iraf> mkdir extern metis:/usr/local/iraf> cd extern
Extract iraf source archive:
metis:/usr/local/iraf> cd iraf metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf> gzip -d as.pcix.gen.gz metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf> tar -xf as.pcix.gen
Extract binaries under following directories:
metis:/usr/local/iraf/irafbin/bin.linux> cat /usr/local/iraf/ib.lnux.x86.gz | zcat | tar -xpf - metis:/usr/local/iraf/irafbin/noao.bin.linux> cat /usr/local/iraf/nb.lnux.x86.gz | zcat | tar -xpf -
Install Patches:
patch2a.tar.gz and hbin.lnux.x86.gz iraf@metis% tar xfv patch2a.tar
metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf> gzip -d patch2a.tar.gz metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf> tar -xf patch2a.tar metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf/unix/bin.linux> cat /usr/local/iraf/hbin.lnux.x86.gz | zcat | tar -xpf - 2.1 Special Note to LNUX Architecture Users -------------------------------------------- The V2.12.2 HSI binaries (mkpkg, xc, hardcopy translators, etc) have a known problem affecting compilation of local tasks or external packages and should be replaced. This patch fixes the problem, however to fix only the compilation issues a new set of HSI binaries are also being made available the patch directory as ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v212/PCIX/patch2a/hbin.lnux.x86.gz To use this file, simply download in binary mode and unpack in the $iraf/unix/bin.linux directory. Contact site support with questions.
Initialize the environment for installation:
metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf/unix/hlib> setenv iraf /usr/local/iraf/iraf/ metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf/unix/hlib> cd $iraf/unix/hlib metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf/unix/hlib> source irafuser.csh
Test the install script with the -n:
metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf/unix/hlib> ./install -n
Run installation script as root user:
metis:/usr/local/iraf/iraf/unix/hlib> sudo ./install
Follow the default prompts.

========================================================================
Congratulations! IRAF has been successfully installed on this system.
========================================================================
To begin using the system simply log in as any user and from the
directory you wish to use as your iraf login directory type:
% mkiraf # create a login.cl file
% cl # start IRAF
The 'iraf' user is already configured with a login.cl file so a simple
'cl' command is sufficient to start the system.
Additional information can be found at the IRAF web site:
http://iraf.noao.edu
Please contact site support with any questions or problems at
iraf@noao.edu

Sample HST data files are provided in the directory stsdas$data/fits. Use the stsdas fitsio package to read these files. The expanded version of the files should be placed into the directory stsdas$data using the following commands:
cl> stsdas
st> fitsio
fi> cd stsdas$data/fits
fi> cl < read_fits.cl
metis:/usr/local/iraf/extern/stsdas> cl

Additional Packages
X11IRAF1.3.1 IRAF GUI applicatiosns package X11iraf
X11IRAF V1.3.1 Installation:
Download the file x11iraf-v1.3.1-bin.linux.tar.gz Unpacked the X11IRAF files in a scratch directory:
% cat x11iraf-v1.3.1-bin.<arch>.tar.gz | gunzip | tar -xf - metis:/usr/local/iraf/x11iraf> gzip -d x11iraf-v1.3.1-bin.linux.tar.gz metis:/usr/local/iraf/x11iraf> tar xf x11iraf-v1.3.1-bin.linux.tar
Ran the 'install' script as a root user:
metis:/usr/local/iraf/x11iraf> sudo ./install (Used the default selections for prompts)
Modifications
ds9 must be open in order to view images within iraf. The existing compiles ds9 (4.07b) was not displaying and was producing an error message; solution was to dowloaded the ds9 (4.08b) binary.
