Gaia Sky is a real-time, 3D, astronomy visualisation software free and open source that provides a number of features that allows people to observe and study the space in Virtual Reality. This slackbuild install the prebuilt package released for Ubuntu. Gaia Sky is developed in the framework of ESA's Gaia mission to chart about 1 billion stars of our Galaxy in the Gaia group of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut (ZAH, Universität Heidelberg). Hardware requirements: CPU 4 core or higher, GPU with 1 GB RAM with support for OpenGL (at least 3.2) and GLSL 3.3, memory with 2-6 GB RAM depending on catalog, and at least 1 GB of free disk space depending on datasets. *** WARNING *** 1. Datasets Gaia Sky requires pre-packed datasets (Gaia eDR3, NBG, SDSS, OCDR2, ecc.) provided by the project, but can be used with other datasets in VOTable, FITS, CSV and other formats (STIL). When Gaia Sky starts for the first time, the application searches the default dataset in ~/.local/share/gaiasky/data. If any dataset is not found, Gaia Sky launches the Download Manager, a graphic interface that allows to users to download the default dataset required. The repository provides also other optional datasets which improve the features of Gaia Sky (some datasets have very large size). For further information, please read the README.SBo file. 2. How to start Gaia Sky A Desktop entry which launches the GUI is provided with the installation (in Education > Science), but Gaia Sky can be started by command-line if you want apply some flags. About this mode please read the README.SBo file. 3. Virtual Reality The VR rendering is still in alpha mode: it is uncomplete and may cause issues depending on the configuration.
