SeaDAS 5.3 Online Installation

Linux Note: Some Linux distributions(e.g. Ubuntu) come without csh initially installed. The seadas_setup script and other data processing scripts require csh in order to run successfully. If you do not have csh installed, you must install it yourself prior to SeaDAS installation. You can determine if you have csh installed by either running the command "which csh" or "ls /bin/csh". If you have root permission on your computer, try "yum install csh" or "sudo apt-get install csh", otherwise ask your system administrator to install csh.

Select a SeaDAS ftp download site:  (mirrors will be added as they become available)


Select your operating system:  (for unsupported linux systems choose the kernel equal to or less than your own --- the "uname -r" command prints your kernel version)


Select your UNIX shell environment:  (execute "echo $SHELL" to determine your shell)


Runtime SeaDAS includes a free IDL embedded license. (If you have a full IDL license you can also toggle between using full IDL and this runtime mode.)

I will use runtime SeaDAS.
I have IDL and do NOT wish to download the runtime capability at this time.
