## A warm welcome
## Welcome to the ClimDatDownloadR
Hello and welcome to the ClimDatDownloadR R-package.
With this package **cli**mate **dat**asets provided by [Chelsa](http://chelsa-climate.org/) and [WorldClim](https://www.worldclim.org/) can be automatically **download**ed, clipped, and converted with **R**.
To start, you'll have to install the package and it's dependencies first, if not already done. Then you can activate the package with the `library`-function.
Very well, now that you have the package installed and attached, let's start with the data sets of the climatologies of Chelsa and WorldClim.
If you have any feedback or are in need of support, you can reach me via **helgejentsch.research@gmail.com**.

## Overview of download-functions
Besides the functions to download the currend climatologies of [Chelsa](http://chelsa-climate.org/) and [WorldClim](https://www.worldclim.org/), described below as [`Chelsa.Clim.download()`](../man/Chelsa.Clim.download.Rd) and [`WorldClim.HistClim.download()`](../man/WorldClim.HistClim.download.Rd), the package offers more download functions.

In fact running the functions all by itself bulk-downloads all the climatology data sets from the servers to your current working directory.
Let's start with a example of the Chelsa climatologies:
