+==== UV-CDAT ====
+The following steps can be used to copy the UV-CDAT installed on //asterix// to a desktop/laptop with a similar linux installation
+  * Create the top directory where the UV-CDAT versions will be installed (make sure there is enough space available, a few Gb...):\\ ''mkdir /homel/cdat''\\  ''chown jypeter:lsce /homel/cdat''
+  * Create a link from where UV-CDAT thinks it is installed, to where it is actually installed (just in case some paths are hard-coded, you never know...):\\ ''mkdir -p /usr/local/install''\\ ''cd /usr/local/install''\\ ''ln -s /homel/cdat cdat''
+  * Use rsync to send the UV-CDAT binaries from a machine where it is installed, to the new machine:\\ ''rsync -avzW --delete /usr/local/install/cdat/ jypeter@lsceNNNN:/homel/cdat/''
+  * Use the following to initialize UV-CDAT:
+    * **Version 1.5**
+      * *sh: ''source /usr/local/install/cdat/versions/cdat_install_uv-1.5.1_x86_64_gcc4_VB_10/bin/setup_runtime.sh''
+      * tcsh: ''source /usr/local/install/cdat/versions/cdat_install_uv-1.5.1_x86_64_gcc4_VB_10/bin/setup_runtime.csh''
+    * **Version 2.1.0**
+      * *sh: ''source /usr/local/install/cdat/versions/cdat_install_uv-2.1.0_x86_64_gcc4_VB_13/bin/setup_runtime.sh''
+      * tcsh: ''source /usr/local/install/cdat/versions/cdat_install_uv-2.1.0_x86_64_gcc4_VB_13/bin/setup_runtime.csh''
