Any or all of the HTML version of the CGNS documentation may be downloaded and installed on a local system. To do so,

1. Create a parent directory for the documentation (say, "cgns_docs") and cd into it. [These instructions assume a Unix system is being used, since that's what I'm familiar with. Windows PC users will have to do their own translation. Sorry.]

2. Download each of the following files by clicking on the link while holding down the shift key, assuming your browser supports this capability. A dialogue box will appear for you to specify the directory and file name to be used on your local system. Use the cgns_docs directory you created in step 1, and the file names shown below. Note that an HTML version of the SIDS-to-Python File Mapping Manual is not available yet.

4. Point your browser to the file index.html in cgns_docs to open the CGNS Documentation Home Page.

Note that this installs only the HTML version of the CGNS documentation. It does not include the other material at the web site, such as the PDF version of the documentation, the conference papers and slide presentations, or the meeting and telecon minutes, or the CGNSTalk archives. Links to those files in the locally-installed CGNS documentation will not work.
