Installing the Reference Catalogues

The INTEGRAL reference catalogue and the OMC reference catalogue are available via the following URL

http://www.isdc.unige.ch/integral/analysis#Software.

A total disk space of 85 MB is needed to install the two catalogues.

Once you have downloaded the OSA_CAT package,

1. cd to a directory to which you have `write' access.
   Typically, the directory where you unpack the reference and OMC catalogue is as well used for the installation of the instruments characteristics, see above.
2. Unpack the downloaded tar-file using e.g. the following command
   • gzip -dc osa_cat-VV.tar.gz | tar xvf -
   where VV is the available version number, e.g. 43.
