Celestia Install instructions for UNIX
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
!!!!! Don't use this file. It's outdated. Use README. !!!!!
|
||||
!!!!! This file will be updated after switch to CMAKE !!!!!
|
||||
First you need a C++ compiler able to compile C++11 code (GCC 4.8.1 or later,
|
||||
Clang 3.3 or later), CMake, GNU Make or Ninja.
|
||||
|
||||
You need to have the following components installed before Celestia
|
||||
will build: OpenGL (tested with Mesa 3.4), glu, libjpeg, and libpng.
|
||||
Should you have a package based installation (most Linux distributions these
|
||||
days are), you will also need to install the devel packages for your OpenGL,
|
||||
glu and glibc packages.
|
||||
Then you need to have the following devel components installed before Celestia
|
||||
will build: OpenGL, glu, glew, theora, libjpeg, and libpng. Optional packages
|
||||
are fmtlib, Eigen3, Qt5, Gtk2 and glut.
|
||||
|
||||
For example on modern Debian-derived system you need to install the following
|
||||
packages: libglew-dev, libjpeg-dev, libpng-dev, libtheora-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev,
|
||||
libglu1-mesa-dev. Them you may want to install libeigen3-dev, libfmt-dev;
|
||||
qtbase5-dev, qtbase5-dev-tools and libqt5opengl5-dev if you want to build with
|
||||
Qt5 interface; libgtk2.0-dev and libgtkglext1-dev to build with legacy Gtk2
|
||||
interface; or freeglut3-dev to build with glut interface.
|
||||
|
||||
OK, assuming you've collected all the necessary libraries, here's
|
||||
what you need to do to build and run Celestia:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --with-INTERFACE [*]
|
||||
mkdir build
|
||||
cd build
|
||||
cmake .. -DENABLE_INTERFACE=ON [*]
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
[*] INTERFACE must be replaced with one of "kde", "gtk", "gnome", or "glut".
|
||||
[*] INTERFACE must be replaced with one of "QT", "GTK", or "GLUT".
|
||||
|
||||
Four interfaces are available for Celestia:
|
||||
- glut: minimal interface, barebone Celestia core with no toolbar or menu...
|
||||
Three interfaces are available for Celestia on Unix-like systems:
|
||||
- GLUT: minimal interface, barebone Celestia core with no toolbar or menu...
|
||||
Disabled by default.
|
||||
- GTK: A full interface with minimal dependencies, adds a menu, a configuration
|
||||
dialog some other utilities.
|
||||
- Gnome: The full GTK interface plus a few Gnome integration goodies, such as
|
||||
preference saving in GConf. This looks and works very much like the
|
||||
Windows interface.
|
||||
- KDE3: brings contextual menus, toolbars, KDE integration,
|
||||
internationalization, bookmarks...
|
||||
dialog some other utilities. Legacy interface, may lack some new
|
||||
features. Disabled by default.
|
||||
- QT: A full interface with minimal dependencies, adds a menu, a configuration
|
||||
dialog some other utilities, bookmarks... A preferred option. Enabled by
|
||||
default, No need to pass -DENABLE_QT=ON.
|
||||
|
||||
To build the KDE interface (requires various kde-devel packages):
|
||||
configure --with-kde
|
||||
|
||||
To build the Gnome interface (requires gnome-devel and all GTK requirements):
|
||||
configure --with-gnome
|
||||
|
||||
To build the GTK interface (requires gtkglext and gtkglext-devel):
|
||||
configure --with-gtk
|
||||
|
||||
To build the GLUT interface (requires glut and glut-devel):
|
||||
configure --with-glut
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of the configure output shows which interface has been selected, you
|
||||
should check it is correct before running make.

will NOT be compiled in, to enable it you need to download the Lua library
|
||||
from:
|
||||
http://www.lua.org/
|
||||
Version 5.0 or newer is required.
|
||||
|
||||
Once Lua has been installed on your system, you need to run:
|
||||
configure --with-lua=/path/to/lua
|
||||
is enabled, it can be disabled passing -DENABLE_CELX=OFF to cmake.
|
||||
Versions 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 of Lua library is required. On Debian-based systems
|
||||
either one of liblua5.3-dev, liblua5.2-dev or liblua5.1-dev should be installed
|
||||
to have Lua support.
|
||||
|
||||
To check wether your Celestia has been compiled with Lua support, go to File
|
||||
-> Open. If you have '*.cel *.celx' in the filter box, then Lua is available

Celestia will be installed into /usr/local by default, with data files landing
|

Celestia Install instructions for Windows
|
||||
-----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Updated 2004-04-28 by pat@suwalski.net
|
||||
Currently to build on Windows you need a Visual Studio 2015 or later, CMake
|
||||
and vcpkg (*).
|
||||
|
||||
Install required packages:
|
||||
|
||||
vcpkg install libpng libjpeg-turbo gettext lua fmt glew eigen3
|
||||
|
||||
Install optional packages:
|
||||
|
||||
vcpkg install qt5
|
||||
|
||||
Configure and build 32-bit version:
|
||||
|
||||
md build32
|
||||
cd build32
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=c:/tools/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ..
|
||||
cmake --build . -- /maxcpucount:N /nologo
|
||||
|
||||
Configure and build 64-bit version:
|
||||
|
||||
md build64
|
||||
cd build64
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=c:/tools/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ..
|
||||
cmake --build . -- /maxcpucount:N /nologo
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of N in /maxcpucount pass a number of CPU cores you want to use during
|
||||
a build.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have Qt5 installed using official Qt installer, then pass parameter
|
||||
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to cmake call used to configure Celestia, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\Qt\5.10.1\msvc2015 ..
|
||||
|
||||
Not supported yet:
|
||||
- automatic installation using cmake
|
||||
- building using GNU toolchain (Mingw32), currently Work-In-Progress
|
||||
- using Ninja instead of MSBuild
|
||||
|
||||

INSTALLING IN UNIX AND LINUX
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
Currently only QT5 based backend is available. To build it you need QT5
|
||||
developer libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
On Debian based systems the following packages should be installed:
|
||||
* qtbase5-dev-tools
|
||||
* qtbase5-dev
|
||||
* libqt5opengl5-dev
|
||||
* qtchooser
|
||||
* libglu1-mesa-dev
|
||||
* libpng-dev
|
||||
* libjpeg-dev
|
||||
* libtheora-dev
|
||||
* Either one of liblua5.3-dev, liblua5.2-dev or liblua5.1-dev
|
||||
|
||||
Optional packages are libeigen3-dev and libglew-dev.
|
||||
|
||||
Then do the following actions in Celestia's source directory:
|
||||
mkdir build && cd build
|
||||
qmake -qt=5 PREFIX=/opt/celestia -o Makefile ../celestia.pro
|
||||
make
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
You can speedup build passing option -jN to make where N is a number of
|
||||
your CPU cores.
|
||||
|
||||
An executable binary will be installed to /opt/celestia/bin/Celestia_QT.
|
||||
|
||||
GETTING STARTED
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
Celestia will start up in a window, and if everything is working correctly,
|
||||
you'll see Earth in front of a field of stars. Displayed on-screen, is some
|
||||
information about your target (Earth), your speed, and the current time
|
||||
(Universal Time, so it'll probably be a few hours off from your computer's
|
||||
clock).
|
||||
|
||||
Right drag the mouse to orbit Earth and you might see the Moon and some
|
||||
familiar constellations. Left dragging the mouse changes your orientation
|
||||
also, but the camera rotates about its center instead of rotating around
|
||||
Earth. Rolling the mouse wheel will change your distance to Earth--you can
|
||||
move light years away, then roll the wheel in the opposite direction to get
|
||||
back to your starting location. If your mouse lacks a wheel, you can use the
|
||||
Home and End keys instead.
|
||||
|
||||
When running Celestia, you will usually have some object selected. Currently,
|
||||
it's Earth, but it could also be a star, moon, spacecraft, galaxy, or some
|
||||
other object. The simplest way to select an object is to click on it. Try
|
||||
clicking on a star to select it. The information about Earth is replaced with
|
||||
some details about the star. Press G (or use the Navigation menu), and you'll
|
||||
zoom through space toward the selected star. If you press G again, you'll
|
||||
approach the star even closer.
|
||||
|
||||
Press H to select our Sun, and then G to go back to our Sun. Right click on
|
||||
the sun to bring up a menu of planets and other objects in the solar system.
|
||||
After selecting a planet from the menu, hit G again to travel toward it. Once
|
||||
there, hold down the right mouse button and drag to orbit the planet.
|
||||
|
||||
The Tour Guide is a list of some of the more interesting objects you can visit
|
||||
in Celestia. Select the Tour Guide option in the Navigation menu to display
|
||||
the Tour Guide window. Choose a destination from the list, click the Goto
|
||||
button, and you're off.
|
||||
|
||||
That covers the very basics. For a more in-depth look at Celestia and the
|
||||
controls available to you, download the "Celestia User's Guide" (written by
|
||||
Frank Gregorio), available in several languages, from:
|
||||
http://celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/documentation.html
|
||||
This web page also includes links to the Celestia README file translated into
|
||||
Japanese.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
MOUSE, KEYBOARD & JOYSTICK CONTROLS
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
See the included file: controls.txt OR use the Help menu to display the Controls
|
||||
list.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
STAR & SOLAR SYSTEM BROWSER
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
The Navigation menu contains 'Solar System Browser' and 'Star Browser'
|
||||
options.
|
||||
|
||||
STAR BROWSER
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the Star Browser window displays a table of the 100 nearest stars,
|
||||
along with their Distance, Apparent and Absolute Magnitude, and Type. Clicking
|
||||
on the column headers will sort the stars. The table is not continuously
|
||||
updated, so if you travel to another star, you should press the Refresh button
|
||||
to update the table for your current position. The radio buttons beneath the
|
||||
table let you switch between viewing a list of Nearest, Brightest, or 'With
|
||||
planets' stars. As with the solar system browser, clicking on any star name
|
||||
in the table will select it. Use this feature along with the Center and Go
|
||||
To buttons to tour the stars visible from any night sky in the galaxy.
|
||||
|
||||
SOLAR SYSTEM BROWSER
|
||||
|
||||
The Solar System Browser displays a window with a tree view of all the objects
|
||||
in the nearest solar system (if there is one within a light year of your current
|
||||
position.) Clicking on the name of any object in the window will select it.
|
||||
You can then use the Center or Go To buttons to display that object in the main
|
||||
Celestia window.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SELECTING OBJECTS BY NAME
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
Celestia provides several ways to select an object by name...
|
||||
1. Choose 'Select Object' from the Navigation menu, type in the object
|
||||
name, and click OK.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Press Enter, type in the entire object name, and press Enter again.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Press Enter, type in the first few characters of the object name,
|
||||
press the Tab key to move through the displayed listing until the
|
||||
object is highlighted, then press Enter again.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use common names, Bayer designations or catalog numbers for stars.
|
||||
Celestia currently supports the HIP, HD and SAO catalogs. Catalog numbers must
|
||||
be entered with a space between the prefix and the catalog number.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
KNOWN ISSUES
|
||||
------------
|
||||
For up-to-the-minute answers to some common problems encountered when running
|
||||
Celestia, please view either the FAQ in the Help menu or take a look at the
|
||||
"Celestia User's FAQ" located on the Celestia User's Forum:
|
||||
http://www.shatters.net/forum/
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
USER MODIFIABLE ELEMENTS
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
You can modify how Celestia starts up each time you run it, by defining your
|
||||
own start-up settings. Simply open the file "start.cel" in a plain text
|
||||
editor and follow the in-file instructions. Also, view the celestia.cfg file
|
||||
in a plain text editor to see additional settings.
|
||||
|
||||
Celestia allows you to easily add real, hypothetical, or fictional objects
|
||||
by creating new catalog files. It is *not* recommended that you alter the
|
||||
built-in data files; nearly all desired modifications and additions can be
|
||||
made by placing new catalog files in Celestia's extras folders. There are three
|
||||
types of catalog files:
|
||||
- ssc (solar system catalog: planets, moons, spacecraft, etc.)
|
||||
- stc (star catalog)
|
||||
- dsc (deep sky catalog: galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae)
|
||||
All three types of catalog file are text files that can be updated with your
|
||||
favorite text editing program.

Texture maps
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
# Most of the planet maps are from David Seal's site:
|
||||
http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/.
|
||||
A few of these maps were modified by me, with fictional terrain added to fill
|
||||
in gaps. The model of the Galileo spacecraft is also from David Seal's site
|
||||
(though it was converted from Inventor to 3DS format.)
|
||||
|
||||
# The Mars, Neptune, and Uranus textures and Mars bump maps are all from James
|
||||
Hastings-Trew's collection. His maps may be found here:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
# Grant Hutchison
|
||||
|
||||
Saturn's rings were built by Grant Hutchison from Cassini imaging, with
|
||||
transparency information derived from stellar transit data obtained from:

|
||||
GETTING STARTED
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
Celestia will start up in a window, and if everything is working correctly,
|
||||
you'll see Earth in front of a field of stars. Displayed on-screen, is some
|
||||
information about your target (Earth), your speed, and the current time
|
||||
(Universal Time, so it'll probably be a few hours off from your computer's
|
||||
clock).
|
||||
|
||||
Right drag the mouse to orbit Earth and you might see the Moon and some
|
||||
familiar constellations. Left dragging the mouse changes your orientation
|
||||
also, but the camera rotates about its center instead of rotating around
|
||||
Earth. Rolling the mouse wheel will change your distance to Earth--you can
|
||||
move light years away, then roll the wheel in the opposite direction to get
|
||||
back to your starting location. If your mouse lacks a wheel, you can use the
|
||||
Home and End keys instead.
|
||||
|
||||
When running Celestia, you will usually have some object selected. Currently,
|
||||
it's Earth, but it could also be a star, moon, spacecraft, galaxy, or some
|
||||
other object. The simplest way to select an object is to click on it. Try
|
||||
clicking on a star to select it. The information about Earth is replaced with
|
||||
some details about the star. Press G (or use the Navigation menu), and you'll
|
||||
zoom through space toward the selected star. If you press G again, you'll
|
||||
approach the star even closer.
|
||||
|
||||
Press H to select our Sun, and then G to go back to our Sun. Right click on
|
||||
the sun to bring up a menu of planets and other objects in the solar system.
|
||||
After selecting a planet from the menu, hit G again to travel toward it. Once
|
||||
there, hold down the right mouse button and drag to orbit the planet.
|
||||
|
||||
The Tour Guide is a list of some of the more interesting objects you can visit
|
||||
in Celestia. Select the Tour Guide option in the Navigation menu to display
|
||||
the Tour Guide window. Choose a destination from the list, click the Goto
|
||||
button, and you're off.
|
||||
|
||||
That covers the very basics. For a more in-depth look at Celestia and the
|
||||
controls available to you, download the "Celestia User's Guide" (written by
|
||||
Frank Gregorio), available in several languages, from:
|
||||
http://celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/documentation.html
|
||||
This web page also includes links to the Celestia README file translated into
|
||||
Japanese.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
MOUSE, KEYBOARD & JOYSTICK CONTROLS
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
See the included file: controls.txt OR use the Help menu to display the Controls
|
||||
list.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
STAR & SOLAR SYSTEM BROWSER
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
The Navigation menu contains 'Solar System Browser' and 'Star Browser'
|
||||
options.
|
||||
|
||||
STAR BROWSER
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the Star Browser window displays a table of the 100 nearest stars,
|
||||
along with their Distance, Apparent and Absolute Magnitude, and Type. Clicking
|
||||
on the column headers will sort the stars. The table is not continuously
|
||||
updated, so if you travel to another star, you should press the Refresh button
|
||||
to update the table for your current position. The radio buttons beneath the
|
||||
table let you switch between viewing a list of Nearest, Brightest, or 'With
|
||||
planets' stars. As with the solar system browser, clicking on any star name
|
||||
in the table will select it. Use this feature along with the Center and Go
|
||||
To buttons to tour the stars visible from any night sky in the galaxy.
|
||||
|
||||
SOLAR SYSTEM BROWSER
|
||||
|
||||
The Solar System Browser displays a window with a tree view of all the objects
|
||||
in the nearest solar system (if there is one within a light year of your current
|
||||
position.) Clicking on the name of any object in the window will select it.
|
||||
You can then use the Center or Go To buttons to display that object in the main
|
||||
Celestia window.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SELECTING OBJECTS BY NAME
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
Celestia provides several ways to select an object by name...
|
||||
1. Choose 'Select Object' from the Navigation menu, type in the object
|
||||
name, and click OK.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Press Enter, type in the entire object name, and press Enter again.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Press Enter, type in the first few characters of the object name,
|
||||
press the Tab key to move through the displayed listing until the
|
||||
object is highlighted, then press Enter again.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use common names, Bayer designations or catalog numbers for stars.
|
||||
Celestia currently supports the HIP, HD and SAO catalogs. Catalog numbers must
|
||||
be entered with a space between the prefix and the catalog number.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
KNOWN ISSUES
|
||||
------------
|
||||
For up-to-the-minute answers to some common problems encountered when running
|
||||
Celestia, please view either the FAQ in the Help menu or take a look at the
|
||||
"Celestia User's FAQ" located on the Celestia User's Forum:
|
||||
https://celestia.space/forum/
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
USER MODIFIABLE ELEMENTS
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
You can modify how Celestia starts up each time you run it, by defining your
|
||||
own start-up settings. Simply open the file "start.cel" in a plain text
|
||||
editor and follow the in-file instructions. Also, view the celestia.cfg file
|
||||
in a plain text editor to see additional settings.
|
||||
|
||||
Celestia allows you to easily add real, hypothetical, or fictional objects
|
||||
by creating new catalog files. It is *not* recommended that you alter the
|
||||
built-in data files; nearly all desired modifications and additions can be
|
||||
made by placing new catalog files in Celestia's extras folders. There are three
|
||||
types of catalog files:
|
||||
- ssc (solar system catalog: planets, moons, spacecraft, etc.)
|
||||
- stc (star catalog)
|
||||
- dsc (deep sky catalog: galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae)
|
||||
All three types of catalog file are text files that can be updated with your
|
||||
favorite text editing program.

Texture maps
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
# Most of the planet maps are from David Seal's site:
|
||||
http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/.
|
||||
A few of these maps were modified by me, with fictional terrain added to fill
|
||||
in gaps. The model of the Galileo spacecraft is also from David Seal's site
|
||||
(though it was converted from Inventor to 3DS format.)
|
||||
|
||||
# The Mars, Neptune, and Uranus textures and Mars bump maps are all from James
|
||||
Hastings-Trew's collection.
|
||||
|
||||
# Grant Hutchison
|
||||
|
||||
Saturn's rings were built by Grant Hutchison from Cassini imaging.
|
||||
|
||||
The Eros map is a shaded relief generated from the NEAR laser rangefinder.

|
||||
Mark Robinson.
|
||||
|
||||
# Fridger Schrempp
|
||||
|
||||
'Available data' Pluto and Charon textures using maps created by Marc Buie
|
||||
at Lowell Observatory. Buie's maps were generated from photometric data
|
||||
gathered during six years of mutual occultations of Pluto and Charon.
|
||||
|
||||
Titan's cloud texture in natural colors and its surface map at near-infrared
|
||||
wavelength. They are based on resources available from the imaging site
|
||||
(Ciclops) of the Cassini mission http://ciclops.org/
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
The Lunar topography and bump maps, using Clementine laser altimeter data,
|
||||
merged in the polar regions with topographic data from Clementine 750 nm
|
||||
oblique and nadir images.
|
||||
|
||||
The Mercury map was created from a combination of Mariner 10 imaging
|
||||
with recent MESSENGER WAC images from the first two flybys, as collected
|
||||
and reprojected by Steve Albers.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
The Ida and Gaspra photomosaic maps are by Phil Stooke.
|
||||
|
||||
# Venus's clouds and the textures for Ganymede, Callisto and Saturn are from
|
||||
Björn Jónsson.
|
||||
|
||||
# Venus's surface is a copyright-free NASA image, prepared from Magellan radar
|
||||
data. The original is available at
|
||||
http://www.solarviews.com/cap/venus/venmap.htm
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
# Steve Albers
|
||||
The Io and Europa maps are by Steve Albers.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
data. His Celestia page is: http://bruckner.homelinux.net/celestia.html
|
||||
|
||||
# The Hyperion map is a photomosaic assembled by Phil Stooke and
|
||||
colored by Jens Meyer.
|
||||
|
||||
# Amalthea is a shaded relief map by Phil Stooke, colored by Wm. Robert Johnston
|
||||
(http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/spaceart/cylmaps.html), and further modified
|
||||
by Jens Meyer and Grant Hutchison.
|
||||

||||
# The textures for the five classes of extrasolar giant planet were created by
|
||||
Andrew Tribick.
|
||||
|
||||
# CICLOPS
|
||||
|
||||
The map of Enceladus is derived from the December 2008 CICLOPS map:

||||
# Some versions of Celestia may use the SPICE system for spacecraft and
|
||||
planetary information, developed by Caltech/JPL under contract to NASA.
|
||||
|
||||
# Many cylindrical projections of photographs were performed by Fridger
|
||||
Schrempp with Matthew Arcus 'mmps' software,
|
||||
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~arcus/mmps/
|
||||
|
||||
# The lower resolution textures were all converted from their higher resolution
|
||||
versions using Gimp.
|
||||
|
||||
# The star database (stars.dat) was derived from the ESA's HIPPARCOS data set.
|
||||
|
||||
# Constellation boundaries are drawn from Davenhall & Leggett's "Catalogue of
|
||||
Constellation Boundary Data":
