# Welcome to XEphem!
|
||||
|
||||
XEphem is an interactive astronomy program for all UNIX platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
More screenshots are shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
* Documentation lives at <https://www.clearskyinstitute.com/xephem/>
|
||||
where Elwood Downey —
|
||||
XEphem’s original author and its maintainer since the 1990s —
|
||||
offers a manual, data files, and user contributed scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
* Elwood Downey has generously released XEphem under the MIT License!
|
||||
An “XEphem” organization has been created on GitHub
|
||||
to host XEphem’s [source code](https://github.com/XEphem/XEphem).
|
||||
|
||||
* The XEphem community hopes to modernize the code
|
||||
to make it easier to compile, package, and run on modern systems.
|
||||
In the meantime,
|
||||
XEphem compiles most readily on older Linux platforms
|
||||
like Ubuntu 14.04.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you want to get started immediately,
|
||||
a Docker image
|
||||
that successfully compiles and runs XEphem atop Ubuntu 14.04
|
||||
is available in the “docker” branch on GitHub.
|
||||
It’s documented
|
||||
[in this README file](https://github.com/XEphem/XEphem/blob/docker/container/README.md).
|
||||
|
||||
* Otherwise,
|
||||
if you want to tackle XEphem development on another platform,
|
||||
start with the
|
||||
[INSTALL](https://github.com/XEphem/XEphem/blob/main/INSTALL)
|
||||
file in the `main` branch of the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
* Direct questions to the main repository’s
|
||||
[GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/XEphem/XEphem/discussions)
|
||||
by clicking “New discussion” and writing up your question.
