Look at the program page for instruction http://planewave.com/downloads/software/

Download and install the program and download and extract on of the two available star catalogs e.g. the UCAC3 in a sub folder. Configure the star catalog in the PlateSolve2 program. Then configure the program path in CCDciel.
