Download CHIANTI
The CHIANTI package is currently distributed in two ways:
- within SolarSoft, an
analysis environment for the solar physics community;
- as a stand-alone package downloadable here.
We recommend IDL users to use CHIANTI within the SolarSoft environment and to setup
automatic upgrades (see SolarSoft site for details). If you do not
want to use SolarSoft, then instructions are given below for
downloading the database and IDL routines.
CHIANTI as a stand-alone package
Both IDL and Python users should download the database files:
Please check the IDL and Python links below for what to do with the
database file.
IDL users (standalone)
Download the CHIANTI-IDL procedures below:
Once you download the database and IDL files, please follow the instructions
for installation.
For more details on using the CHIANTI IDL routines, please consult the CHIANTI
User Guide.
IDL users can download a set of population lookup tables that
make some calculations much faster (see
CHIANTI Technical Report
No. 16).
Put them in a local directory and point to them with the
environment variable $CHIANTI_LOOKUP.
Python users
ChiantiPy is distributed
