Command Line Usage
OCSSW -> Install/Update OC Processors
<Install/Update OC Processors executes install_ocssw.py which installs or updates the OCSSW package for SeaDAS. When SeaDAS first installs OCSSW package, the menu item would display as "Install OC Processors". Afterwords, it's displayed as "Update OC Processors".
You can access the OCSSW installer GUI from the Tools/SeaDAS Processing/Install/Update OC Processors menu. The ocssw install/update GUI initially displays a default window, as shown in the image below, to select installation directory and mission data files to be included in the installation. If the data files of a mission already exists in the system, the checkbox for that mission would be selected in the initial screen. Users can leave it selected for an update or deselect to skip its installation.
