The Astrocats package enables astronomers to construct their own curated catalogs of astronomical data with the intention of producing shareable catalogs of that data in human-readable formats. Astrocats is used by several existing open astronomy catalogs, including:

The process for creating one’s own open astronomy catalog involves checking out this package and designing a “module” for it that is specific to that catalog’s needs, a [Wiki is available](https://github.com/astrocatalogs/astrocats/wiki) with instructions for doing so. At the moment the most developed module is the Open Supernova Catalog module; to set up astrocats with the supernovae module, one needs to check out two repositories:

`shell git clone git@github.com:astrocatalogs/astrocats.git cd astrocats git clone git@github.com:astrocatalogs/supernovae.git `

Astrocats will soon be listed on PyPi, at which point the install instructions will involve pip and a setup script, for now the install must be performed manually.
