+Gaia Sky is a real-time, 3D, astronomy visualisation software free 
+and open source that provides a number of features that allows people 
+to observe and study the space in Virtual Reality. This slackbuild 
+install the prebuilt package released for Ubuntu.
+
+Gaia Sky is developed in the framework of ESA's Gaia mission to chart 
+about 1 billion stars of our Galaxy in the Gaia group of the 
+Astronomisches Rechen-Institut (ZAH, Universität Heidelberg). 
+
+Hardware requirements: CPU 4 core or higher, GPU with 1 GB RAM with 
+support for OpenGL (at least 3.2) and GLSL 3.3, memory with 2-6 GB RAM 
+depending on catalog, and at least 1 GB of free disk space depending 
+on datasets.
+
+*** WARNING ***
+1. Datasets
+Gaia Sky requires pre-packed datasets (Gaia eDR3, NBG, SDSS, OCDR2, 
+ecc.) provided by the project, but can be used with other datasets in 
+VOTable, FITS, CSV and other formats (STIL).
+When Gaia Sky starts for the first time, the application searches the 
+default dataset in ~/.local/share/gaiasky/data. If any dataset is not 
+found, Gaia Sky launches the Download Manager, a graphic interface 
+that allows to users to download the default dataset required. The 
+repository provides also other optional datasets which improve the 
+features of Gaia Sky (some datasets have very large size). For further 
+information, please read the README.SBo file.
+
+2. How to start Gaia Sky
+A Desktop entry which launches the GUI is provided with the 
+installation (in Education > Science), but Gaia Sky can be started by 
+command-line if you want apply some flags. About this mode please read 
+the README.SBo file.
+
+3. Virtual Reality
+The VR rendering is still in alpha mode: it is uncomplete and may 
+cause issues depending on the configuration.

+Further information
+
+1. About datasets
+The Graphic Interface of the Download Manager starts if no datasets 
+are found in ~/.local/gaiasky/data, otherwise Gaia Sky won't start.
+
+The datasets available for download are the following:
+
+Data Packs:
+- Basic data pack (REQUIRED): size 88,5 MB. It is the default-data 
+  with 2,573 objects (Solar System objects as planets, satellites, 
+  asteroids, eccetera, Milk Way, Constellations, orbits, ecc.)
+
+Texture Packs:
+- High resolution textures: size 258 MB.
+
+Gaia stars catalogs:
+- Gaia DR3 default: size 1 GB
+- Gaia DR3 small: size 560 MB
+- Gaia DR3 medium: size 3,3 GB
+- Gaia DR3 large: size 8 GB
+- Gaia DR3 very large: size 30 GB
+- Gaia DR3 extra large: size 45 GB
+- Gaia DR3 bright: 566 MB
+
+These datasets may be downloaded also manually through a web browser:
+the Download Manager window provides a link (Manual Download) which 
+opens the default web browser at the address of the repository.
+
+Users can install also own or third part datasets. About this please 
+refer to the documentation on line.
+
+2. Start with a command-line from a console
+This is needed if you want to apply some flags. This is needed if you 
+want to launch Gaia Sky in Virtual Reality mode: you have to open a 
+terminal and digit the command
+
+    $ gaiasky -vr  (or --openvr)
+    
+Other available flags may be listed with the command
+
+    $ gaiasky -h

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
