This section describes how to install the Catalog Ingest Tool (CITool) contained in the citool package. The following topics can be found in this section:
The following sub-sections detail the system requirements for the tool.
The Catalog Ingest Tool was developed using Java and will run on any platform with a supported Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The tool was specifically developed under Sun Java version 1.5, so the tool will execute correctly under versions 1.5 or 1.6.
Since the tool was developed using Sun's Java, this is the preferred Java environment for operation. The Sun Java package can be obtained from the Sun Java web site. Other Java environments are relatively compatible with Sun's Java.
Release 1r64 or later of the Planetary Science Data Dictionary (PSDD) is required for the tool to function properly. Release 1r66 of the PSDD supports the validation of explicit FILE objects. The latest version of the PDS data dictionary can be retrieved from the PDS Data Dictionary web page.
Download the citool package from the Tools & Documentation web page. The binary distribution is available in identical zip or tar/gzip packages. Unpack the selected binary distribution file with one of the following commands:
% unzip citool-1.0.0-bin.zip or % tar -xzvf citool-1.0.0-bin.tar.gz
Note: Depending on the platform, the native version of tar may produce an error when attempting to unpack the distribution file because many of the file paths are greater than 100 characters. If available, the GNU version of tar will resolve this problem. If that is not available or cannot be installed, the zipped package will work just fine in a UNIX environment.
The commands above result in the creation of the citool-1.0.0 directory with the following directory structure:
