Installation

The Data Viewer is supported on both Mac OS and Linux. Windows is possible but not actively supported.

Mac OS

Mac OS versions are distributed as a dmg. Contained within the dmg is a single .app which can be placed anywhere on your machine and then run. The standard location is within your /Applications directory but will run from anywhere.

Linux

Linux versions are distributed as AppImages, which closely emulates how the Mac OS apps work; all dependencies are contained within the app image. This makes it a lot easier to distribute and run without the user or sys admin having to manage dependencies.

gse directory

Our current approach is to maintain a gse repository for each mission. For example, on OCI we have an ocigse Git repository that's maintained on the gs490v-gitlab GitLab. We use this repository to store released versions of the Data Viewer, various config files, and other miscellaneous applications and items.
