How To Install cdsclient on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install cdsclient on Fedora 34.
What is cdsclient
The cdsclient package is a set of C and shell routines which can be built on Unix stations or PCs running Linux, which once compiled allow to query some databases located at CDS or on mirrors over the network. The cdsclient package includes two generic query programs - vizquery, a program to remotely query VizieR. It connects the VizieR server via the HTTP protocol (requires an access to the port 80) - find_cats, a program for fast access to large surveys from a list of positions, via a dedicated client (requires an access to the port 1660) Specific programs like find2mass or finducac3 are connecting directly to one of the very large surveys available from CDS (a very large survey has 107 or more rows).
