+Repository for the high level analysis of the NectarCAM data, a camera to equip the
+medium-sized telescopes of `CTAO <https://www.ctao.org/>`_ in its Northern site.
+The analysis is heavily based on `ctapipe <https://github.com/cta-observatory/ctapipe>`_,
+adding custom code for NectarCAM calibration.
+
+``nectarchain`` is currently pinned to ``ctapipe`` version 0.19.
+
+This code is under rapid development. It is not recommended for production use unless you are an expert or developer!

+Installation for Users
+======================
+
+``nectarchain`` and its dependencies may be installed using the *Anaconda* or
+*Miniconda* package system. We recommend creating a conda virtual environment
+first, to isolate the installed version and dependencies from your main
+environment (this is optional).
+
+The latest version of ``nectarchain`` can be installed via::
+
+  mamba install -c conda-forge nectarchain
+
+or via::
+
+  pip install nectarchain
+
+**Note**: to install a specific version of ``nectarchain``, take look at the documentation `here <https://nectarchain.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/index.html>`_.
+
+**Note**: ``mamba`` is a C++ reimplementation of conda and can be found `here <https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba>`_.
+
+Note this is *pre-alpha* software and is not yet stable enough for end-users (expect large API changes until the first stable 1.0 release).
+
+Developers should follow the development install instructions found in the
+`documentation <https://nectarchain.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer-guide/index.html>`_.
+
+
+Contributing
+============
+
+All contribution are welcome.
+
+Guidelines are the same as `ctapipe's ones <https://ctapipe.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer-guide/getting-started.html>`_.
+See `here <https://ctapipe.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer-guide/pullrequests.html#pullrequests>`_ how to make a pull request to contribute.
+
+
+Report issue / Ask a question
+=============================
+
+Please use `GitHub Issues <https://github.com/cta-observatory/nectarchain/issues>`_ to report issues or `GitHub Discussions <https://github.com/cta-observatory/nectarchain/discussions>`_ for questions and discussions.

+Quick recipe for the Data Quality Monitoring script
+===================================================
+
+Run locally
+-----------
+
+To launch the Data Quality Monitoring (DQM), first activate the ``nectarchain`` ``conda`` environment:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    source activate nectarchain
+
+Usage:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ python start_dqm.py -h
+
+To automatically find and retrieve run files from DIRAC, use the ``-r`` option:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ python start_dqm.py -r 2720 $NECTARCAMDATA $NECTARCAMDATA
+
+See :ref:`env-vars` for the usage of the ``$NECTARCAMDATA`` environment variable.
+
+To manually use local run files, use the ``-i`` option **after** indicating the positional arguments for input and output directories:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ python start_dqm.py $NECTARCAMDATA $NECTARCAMDATA -i NectarCAM.Run2720.0000.fits.fz NectarCAM.Run2720.0001.fits.fz
+
+As a DIRAC job
+--------------
+
+The user script `nectarchain/user_scripts/jlenain/dqm_job_submitter/submit_dqm_processor.py` can be used to run the DQM as a DIRAC job:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ python submit_dqm_processor.py -h
+
+Under the hood, it calls the ``dqm_processor.sh`` wrapper script, which itself launches an Apptainer instance of the ``nectarchain`` container on the DIRAC worker. This Apptainer image is automatically built and published in CI on releases.
+
+The DQM runs one job per NectarCAM run. It is possible, for instance, to bulk-submit DIRAC jobs for all runs acquired during a given period, e.g.:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ d=2023-01-01
+    $ while [ "$d" != 2023-03-01 ]; do python submit_dqm_processor.py -d $d; d=$(date -I -d "$d + 1 day"); done
+
+The script will first assess whether DQM jobs have already been run for a given NectarCAM run, based on the output directory on DIRAC where this script stores its output. Look for the ``$DIRAC_OUTDIR`` environment variable in ``dqm_processor.sh``.

+
+Environment variables
+=====================
+
+We strive for relying as little as possible on environment variables across ``nectarchain``.
+However, some environment variables are needed for ``nectarchain`` to work properly, especially to automatically fetch run files from the grid via DIRAC, or to store output results and plots.
+
+Mandatory
+---------
+
+:``NECTARCAMDATA``: path to local NectarCAM data. It can contain ``fits.fz`` run files, `~nectarchain.data.container.waveformsContainer.WaveformsContainer` or `~nectarchain.data.container.chargesContainer.ChargesContainer` HDF5 files. This is also where the `~nectarchain.data.management.DataManagement.findrun` method will automatically store NectarCAM run files when fetched from DIRAC.
+
+Optional
+--------
+
+:``NECTARCHAIN_LOG``: path for output logs for ``nectarchain``, generally defaulting to ``/tmp``.
+:``NECTARCHAIN_FIGURES``: path to store output figures for ``nectarchain``, generally defaulting to ``/tmp``, or configurable (see e.g. `nectarchain.makers.component.spe.spe_algorithm.SPEalgorithm`).

+
+
+The `nectarchain.data.management.DataManagement.findrun` method will
 automatically localize NectarCAM data on DIRAC, given a run number, and fetch
 the run files for you.
 
 Tips
 ====
 
+Web portal
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+CTA-DIRAC has a web portal available at https://ctadirac-01.cscs.cta-observatory.org/DIRAC/ to interact with it. In particular, the *Job Monitor* application is very useful to interact with your jobs on DIRAC.
+
+.. tip::
+
+    If you submitted your jobs using the ``cta_nectarcam`` role, you would need to re-authenticate in the portal with this role: Click on *Settings* in the bottom left, and select *cta_nectarcam* under *Group*.
