Processing Programs and Source Code

The SeaDAS data processing components are distributed separately from the SeaDAS visualization package.

To process SeaDAS OCSSW in Windows see the client/server model. (Note: Windows processing is supported with SeaDAS version 8.1.0 and above.).

Currently, the processing components can only be installed on Linux or MacOSX (Intel) systems. The Linux binaries were compiled on a system with CentOS 6.10 and gcc-6.3.1. If your system is not the same, you might need to build the binaries from source.

Ensure these requirements are satisfied

For all systems: Additional requirements for Mac with Apple silicon or ARM64:

Install with GUI

Once the visualization package is installed, you can easily install the processing components:

Manual Installation

The processing components can be installed manually, with or without the installation of the visualization package.

  1. Ensure these requirements are satisfied:
  2. Download the installer script and manifest script
  3. Make sure the installer script is executable:
          $ chmod +x install_ocssw
          
  4. Run the installer:
    The following will get a list of the available Tags. Tags starting with "V" indicate operational versions while tags starting with "T" indicate test versions. The latest release is OCSSW V2024.5 tag.
    $  ./install_ocssw --list_tags 
    The following will install the processing programs and required data packages for the MODIS-Aqua and SeaWiFS missions into the ocssw directory in the user's HOME directory:
    $  ./install_ocssw --install_dir $HOME/ocssw --tag {latest-tag} --seadas --modisa --seawifs 
    The following will install the processing source code into an existing directory:
    $   ./install_ocssw --install_dir=$HOME/ocssw --tag {latest-tag} –-src 
    The following will install the programs and data packages required for MODIS direct broadcast processing:
    $   ./install_ocssw --install_dir $HOME/ocssw --tag {latest-tag} --direct_broadcast
Note: this includes the processing programs and the MODIS-Aqua and MODIS-Terra data packages. It does NOT include the source code.

Command Line Configuration

Add the following lines to your .bashrc file to configure your command line environment. This assumes your login shell is bash. If you are using a different shell, talk to your system admin.

export OCSSWROOT=[SeaDAS_install_dir]/ocssw
source $OCSSWROOT/OCSSW_bash.env

where: SeaDAS_install_dir is the directory where you installed SeaDAS.
