Hi there,

> So from home do I not need to download Edex not sure if I did connect to your 
> Edex server

Depending on what you're trying to do, you likely do not need your own EDEX 
server and can use our
publicly available one.

Are you wanting to run CAVE -- that's the visualization component of AWIPS that 
allows you to load
and view data that's on our EDEX server? If so, I highly recommend starting 
with our helpful, step-
by-step tutorial, Learn AWIPS CAVE: 
https://unidata.github.io/awips2/appendix/educational-resources/#cave-elearning-course

If you're wanting to use python-awips, our programmatic API for accessing EDEX 
data, then we also
have a similar, short tutorial course for that as well:
https://unidata.github.io/awips2/appendix/educational-resources/#python-awips-elearning-course

Let me know if those are helpful and get you what you're looking for?

Thanks!
