You just need to download the file: astron.dir.tar.gz from http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/ . You'll need to just put this files in your IDL_PATH. I only know how to do this if you're using Linux or Mac OSX, if it's windows then you're on your own.

Once the files are in your path, start a fresh xterm (okay, the only way, but a safe way) to reset the path. Then start idl, and type "astrolib" to initialize a few system variables and be able to use all the procedures.
