INSTALL

You need to have IDL and SSW previously installed

Include this five lines in your personal IDL_STARTUP file

setenv,'FOXSIPKG=My/personal/path/to/foxsi-science'
setenv,'FOXSIDB=My/other/personal/path/to/foxsidb'
add_path,'$FOXSIPKG',/expand
add_path,'$FOXSIDB'
@init_param

FOXSI-Data-Base Directory (FOXSIDB)

Create a new folder called 'foxsidb' in a convenient location for you.
Should include:

    Folder      Files

    data_2012   foxsi_level2_data.sav

    data_2014   foxsi_level2_data.sav

You can download these two files from 

2012: ftp://apollo.ssl.berkeley.edu/pub/foxsi/data_2012/

2014: ftp://apollo.ssl.berkeley.edu/pub/foxsi/data_2014/

To know whether your installation was a success, run @image-example-1
and you should get an image of the first target.

Run SSWIDL and start up FOXSI by

foxsi,year

year = 2014 or 2012

Example:

foxsi,2014
