Getting the analysis tools
We recommend that you use ctools to analyse the data from the
:ref:`first CTA Data Challenge <glossary_1dc>`.
The reference version for the Data Challenge is ctools-1.4.2.
ctools-1.4.2 depends on gammalib-1.4.2. You may either download
the source code for both packages or use a pre-compiled binary package for
Mac OS X that includes all necessary code:

Mac OS X binary package (Mac OS X 10.7+)
GammaLib source code tarball
ctools source code tarball

After downloading, configure GammaLib and ctools as follows:
$ export GAMMALIB=/usr/local/gamma
$ source $GAMMALIB/bin/gammalib-init.sh
$ export CTOOLS=/usr/local/gamma
$ source $CTOOLS/bin/ctools-init.sh

Have a look at :ref:`getting the ctools <sec_admin>` if you need more
information about the installation and configuration process.

Note
You may consider adding the GAMMALIB and CTOOLS environment variables
as well as the sourcing of the configuration scripts to your .bashrc file
(or equivalent) so that your analysis environment
for the
:ref:`first CTA Data Challenge <glossary_1dc>`
is always setup correctly.
