Scisoft是一個歐洲南方天文台開發的天文軟體集。Scisoft包含各類天文學軟體，其中除了IDL均為免費開源。並且支持Linux，BSD等多種平台。
Scisoft
該軟體目前最新版本為7.4，支持fedora11平台。對於較低版本fedora的用戶可以試用scisoft7.31(fedora6)或者scisoft V6(fedora3)
基本信息
集成了IRAF、MIDAS、IDL、Gildas等數據處理軟體，SAOImage、DS9、XPA、Skycat、fv等圖像顯示工具，SM、PGPLOT、Grace、ggobi等繪圖工具，Python、MultiDrizzle、PyRAF等編程環境，GSL、DISLIN、LAPACK、FFTW、CFITSIO等科學程式庫，以及wcstools、TerapixSoftwareTools、Xephem、dss&dss2等常用工具。但是這個軟體集沒有WINDOWS版本的，只有Linux、Solaris、HP-UX、MacOSX，大部分天文台都是用的自己開發的系統進行處理，目前比較多的就是LINUX。
軟體的安裝
該軟體有三種安裝方式。
用源進行安裝
適用fedora11
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/scisoft.repo
加入如下內容：
[scisoft]
name=Scisoft
baseurl=ftp://ftp.eso.org/scisoft/scisoft7.4/linux/fedora11/yum-repo
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
然後運行
yumcleanall
yuminstallscisoft-\*
用RPM安裝包安裝
在ftp://ftp.eso.org/scisoft/scisoft7.4/linux/fedora11/RPMs/ 下載scisoft安裝所需rpm檔案，運行
rpm-IHV<scisoft-save-dir>/*.rpm
適用mandriva、opensuse等支持rpm格式的linux發行，需要手動解決依賴關係。
使用tgz原始碼進行安裝
在ftp://ftp.eso.org/scisoft/scisoft7.4/linux/fedora11/tar/ 下載tar.gz安裝包。
解決依賴關係，主要有
-SDL_image
-SDL_ttf
-compat-libf2c-34
-libgfortran
-unixodbc
然後運行 tarxzf<scisoft-save-dir>/scisoft-*.tar.gz
並且進行安裝
適用所有linux和BSD發行
