 To include PDF and HTML documentation in the build process, which takes some time to build, you have to specify explicitly `--with-docs` when invoking `./configure` 
+
+=== How to reinitialize RASBASE ===
+If you want to drop all data stored in rasdaman quickly for some reason:
+
+'''SQLite/Filestorage (default)''':
+1. `stop_rasdaman.sh`
+1. Let `RASDATA` be the directory specified in the host `-connect` option in `rasmgr.conf`, likely `/opt/rasdaman/data`; make sure it is indeed this directory (`ls $RASDATA/` should show `RASBASE`, `TILES/`, `TRANSACTIONS/`).
+1. Drop the data: `rm -rf $RASDATA/*`
+1. Initialize a brand new database: `create_db.sh`
+1. `start_rasdaman.sh`
+
+'''PostgreSQL''':
+1. `stop_rasdaman.sh`
+1. Drop the data: `dropdb RASBASE`
+1. Initialize a brand new database: `create_db.sh`
+1. `start_rasdaman.sh`
