The use of integral field spectroscopy is becoming increasingly popular,\nhovewer data reduction is still a difficult process. Here I present a\nstep-by-step guide to the reduction of integral field data acquired with the\nGemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on GEMINI. The reduction process,\nseparately applied to a standard star and to the science data, includes bias\nand sky subtraction, flat-fielding, trimming, wavelength and flux calibration,\ncreation of the cubes for each exposure and final combination into a single\ncube. Typical problems encoutered during the reduction process are discussed.\nThe command list has been adapted from IRAF scripts given as tutorials at the\nSouth American Gemini Data Workshop (S ~ao Jos 'e dos Campos, Brazil, October\n27-30, 2011) and scripts kindly provided by collaborators.\n
