To run these scripts (the first time), you must:
Save them onto your disk with your Web browser, in a directory that
lies in yourpath.
Make them executable (chmod ugo+x filename).
Type rehash.
These scripts use the ADS token. If you do not have one, do the following:
go to
the relevant ADS page
and follow the instructions: create an account and generate a token.
Insert in your $HOME/.tcshrc the line
setenv ADSTOKEN [value-they-send-you].
(Once:) type source ~/.cshrc to have your system remember the
value of ADSTOKEN.
For instructions on how to use each script, type filename -help
These scripts require that
curl
and
jq
are installed on your system.
