Welcome to the *AstroNomical Information System (ANIS)* user's guide.
Here you can find all the information you need to retrieve, install, and develop with the latest version of ANIS.
ANIS is composed of :
ANIS is a web generic tool aimed at facilitating and homogenizing the implementation of astronomical data of various kinds and catalogues in dedicated Information Systems.
-`anis-server`: It is a JSON REST API that allows an administrator to configure several datasets and allows users to search into business databases.
-`anis-client`: It is a web client :
ANIS includes:
- __anis-server__: A JSON *Representational State Transfer (REST)* API that allows an administrator to configure datasets and allows users to search into business databases.
- __anis-client__: A web client,
- That allows users to carry out searches and format the results.
- That contains a dashboard reserved for administrators only, and which allows to set up scientific projects.
-`anis-services`: It is an API used by anis-client for fits file manipulation (display fits, fits-cut...) with astropy.
-`anis-tasks`: It is a python program that allows to launch asynchronous tasks using a rabbitMQ message.
-__anis-services__: An API used by anis-client for fits file manipulation (display fits, fits-cut, etc) with [astropy](https://www.astropy.org/).
-__anis-tasks__: A `python` command line interface enabling the launch of asynchronous tasks using the [rabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/) message broker.

## Functionalities
- ANIS provides a complete JSON web API for searching and manipulating astrophysical data.
- With this API an administrator can configure datasets and users can search using search criteria.
- ANIS provides a complete JSON web API for searching and manipulating astrophysical data.
- With this API an administrator can configure the visualisation of datasets.
- Users can search the latter datasets using search criteria.
- ANIS also provides an administration dashboard to manage datasets and configure search forms.
- ANIS provides a web interface that allows users to perform, among other things, searches into datasets.
- ANIS also provides an admin dashboard to manage datasets and configure search forms.
- Scientific projects and/or datasets can be private and reserved to a consortium.
- Specific visualizations can be attached to a dataset (spectrum graph, light curve...).
- Asynchronous actions can be launched from the web interface (archive creation for example).
- Users can perform asynchronous actions from the web interface such as the archive creation for example.
- Scientific projects and/or datasets accessible through ANIS can be private and reserved to a consortium.
- ANIS includes specific visualizations tool for data such as spectrum graph, light curve, etc.
## Requirements
To install the local version you need requirements :
To install and develop the local version of the software you need the following tools:
-[git](https://git-scm.com/)
-[docker](https://www.docker.com/)
- Eventually [make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html) to
shorten command lines
-`git` command
-`Make` command
-`Docker` and `docker-compose`
To follow along the documentation, you also need [curl](https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html).
## About this software
ANIS has been developed by `Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille` to meet the needs of
the various scientific missions in which it is engaged.
The software ANIS is currently being developed by [a team](index.md#authors) at the *Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille (LAM)* to meet the needs of the scientific missions in which the LAM is engaged.
