=PREREQUISITES:
The machine has been installed with the appropriate Python distribution
and that the user accounts "ngas" and "ngasmgr" have been created.

Note, other packages/libraries etc. may have to be installed like e.g. drivers
for a RAID controller used or a specific RDBMS used with NGAS.

NGAS only will run on Linux (+ other UNIX flavor operating systems).


=INSTALLATION:
To install NGAS, execute the following as user root on the target machine:



1. Download the appropriate installation command:

# wget http://sos16-vip.hq.eso.org/ngas_software/CURRENT/CURRENT/INSTALL-CMD-[Tag]

Check on this site which one seems to be most suitable:

http://sos16-vip.hq.eso.org/ngas_software/CURRENT/

If these seems to none, download one and check/update it.



2. Execute the installation command on the target machine:

# . INSTALL-CMD-[Tag]



3. Reboot the node and verify that the NGAS Server is running:

# /opsw/packages/bin/ngamsCClient -servers $HOSTNAME:7777 -cmd STATUS

The status should show "SUCCESS".
