Selection of optional packages

MIDAS sources are divided in the core of MIDAS (indispensable and therefore always included and installed) and several optional packages, grouped in three categories: applications (applic), standard reduction packages (stdred) and contribution packages (contrib). The selection is done in the config script using the following options:

     MIDAS CONFIG MENU:
     ==================
     1 - list of MIDAS packages available
     2 - select only MIDAS core
     3 - select all MIDAS packages
     4 - select MIDAS core and packages of your choice

The first option gives you the complete list of optional packages available in the MIDAS release and an indication whether they have been selected. A brief description of each package is displayed when the name of the package is entered.

By default, and without selecting any of the above options, only the core of MIDAS will be installed.
