The isisdl command is not a standard Linux utility found in common distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Debian repositories. It appears to be a custom or third-party script, possibly associated with downloading content from ISIS-related sources, such as the ISIS neutron and muon source scientific data services at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, or potentially misused for other purposes. No official man page (man isisdl) exists in standard systems.

Limited information suggests it may be part of specialized scientific software for ISIS instrument data retrieval, requiring specific installation from Mantid or ISIS software suites. However, searches indicate it could also refer to unofficial tools for downloading propaganda videos from terrorist group websites, which is illegal in many jurisdictions and strongly discouraged.

Users should verify the source before use, as it poses security risks from untrusted binaries or scripts. Install via pip or git if legitimate, but exercise extreme caution.

Not in standard repos; potential security/malware risks. Downloading restricted/illegal content prohibited. Requires Python or specific ISIS client libs.

May require pip install isisdl or cloning from unofficial GitHub repos; verify hashes.

Use only for legitimate scientific purposes. Misuse for terrorist content is criminal.

Likely developed post-2010 for ISIS facility data access; evolved with Mantid framework around 2015. Unofficial variants emerged circa 2014-2016 for illicit uses.
