Installation
The Data Viewer is actively supported on both Mac OS and Linux. Windows support can be provided if required. The specific OS version is possiblemission but not actively supported.dependent.
Mac OS
Mac OS versions are distributed asin admg dmg.format. Contained within the dmg is a single .app which can be placed anywhere on your machine and then run. The .app contains all required dependencies. The standard install location is within your /Applications directory but willcan be 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.AppImage. This makes it a lot easier to distribute and run without the user or sys admin having to manage dependencies. The AppImage can be run from any directory.
gse directory
We use a "gse" repository for each mission to store released versions of the Data Viewer, various config files, and other miscellaneous applications and items. For example, on OCI we have an ocigse Git repository that's maintained on the gs490v-gitlab GitLab.
The instructions to setup the gse directory variesis amission bit between the missions,specific, but can generally be boiled down to:
- Get the required permissions to access the repository
- Checkout the repository
- Perform initial one-time setup
The instructions to setup the ocigse directory are maintained in the README.md of the repository: https://gs490v-gitlab.ndc.nasa.gov/497_OCI/OCI_XINA
