AHELP for CIAO 4.4

ciao-install

Context: concept

Synopsis

Download and install CIAO, CALDB, and the contributed script files

Description

The ciao-install script is designed to simplify and automate the installation and upgrade of the CIAO software and of the Chandra Calibration DataBase (CALDB).

ciao-install FTPs the selected files to your computer, verifies them via md5sum, and unpacks them. The script configures CIAO, sets up the command-line ahelp system, and (optionally) runs the CIAO smoke tests.

Customize the ciao-install script for your system on the CIAO Download page.

For additional information on the script and available command-line options, refer to the README file.
