The FIREHOSE pipeline is currently only being released in tarball form, although we may implement cvs or svn releases in the near future for up-to-the-minute bug fixes.under release on github.
The package consists of a suite of IDL routines plus some archived calibration files. After downloading, you can read the installation instructions for information on how to unpack and configure the software.

v1.2 [beta] - 08 / 05 / 2011
This release adds features to allow user-selected extraction apertures and more preferences for general extraction. Fixed many outstanding bugs, probably introduced others.
v1.1 [beta] - 04 / 21 / 2011
This is the initial public release of firehose. We are currently supporting This is the initial release of firehose. It contains code to reduce FIRE echelle mode observations only, although longslit will be ported as well in the near futureroutines are in the code base and brave users can give them a try until we move to support them as well.
The current release is in beta stage only. Our tests have shown it to be fairly stable and robust to crashing errors. It does not yet produce perfect sky subtraction in the immediate vicinity of the brightest OH lines, although the quality will be good enough for many applications and will certainly be good enough to judge data quality and signal-to-noise ratio of data sets.
