Pan-STARRS, or Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, is a wide-field imaging facility that combines small mirrors with gigapixel cameras. It surveys the entire available sky several times a month, which ultimately requires large amounts of data to be processed and stored right away. Accordingly, the Image Processing Pipeline--the IPP--is a collection of software tools that is responsible for the primary image analysis for Pan-STARRS. It includes data registration, basic image analysis such as obtaining master images and detrending the exposures, mosaic calibration when applicable, and lastly, image sum and difference. In this paper I present my work of the installation of IPP 2.1 and 2.2 on a Linux machine, running the Simtest, which is simulated data to test your installation, and finally applying the IPP to two different sets of UH 2.2m Tek data. This work was conducted by a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) position at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy and funded by the NSF.
