Settings#

cassis_lte_python needs two pieces of information :

  • the path to the database (sqlite) file

  • the path to the directory containing telescope files (for modeling purposes)

This information is read by cassis_lte_python from a file called settings.ini.

To use your own settings :

  • download the ‘settings_defaults.ini’ file

  • rename it ‘settings.ini’

  • edit it as necessary

For cassis_lte_python to find this file, your need to define a system variable called CASSIS_LTE_PYTHON_SETTINGS. To do so, follow the instructions below depending on your shell.

In your ~/.cshrc or ~/.tcshrc, add:

setenv CASSIS_LTE_PYTHON_SETTINGS /path/to/the/directory/settings.ini

Source the shell configuration file or open a new terminal so that the above take effect.
