# README

## Welcome

This is the **CaosDB Advanced User Tools** repository and a part of the
CaosDB project.
This project contains tools that are beyond the typical use of
the CaosDB python client. Especially, this includes the crawler which will
typically be used by a data curator.

## Setup

Please read the [README_SETUP.md](README_SETUP.md) for instructions on how to
setup this code.


## Further Reading

Please refer to the [official documentation](https://docs.indiscale.com/caosdb-advanced-user-tools/) for more information.
