There could be a transient network glitch,  a problem with the update or a change in the python program used with modis_geo.py.   Please provide details of your platform (we can assume macOS, but version may help someone recognize your problem).   Since we know the Apple sup...

You need to install a newer version of git per the search for "ubuntu git install build-essential"

You should give some details of the platform in case another reader has already solved your problem.   Some linux distros have git configurations that don't support NASA's https configuration.  For example, if (like many of us), you are using Ubuntu 14.04, a search for "u...

The same basic outline applies to SST. Usually when some workflow that was runing properly gives an error when you use different data there is a type on the changes or a resource problem (no space left on device). You need to provide details of the error.  It is generally easier to post output ...

Others have reported this on the Continuum Forums, but the two recommendations: use
"sudo" and disabling SIP aren't (as pointed out by Stephen Waterbury) satisfactory.

Until a new GUI is released you have to use the manual installation procedure on the Download page.   The python version that comes with MacOS does not work, so you will need to use a 3rd party Python (Anaconda or macports).

You may see more helpful error messages by running l3bin in a terminal.  For details of the binning process, see IOCCG Report 4.  Level-3 binned files store sums, counts, etc. needed to compute averages, but the actual averages are computed following the algorithm described in Report 4 (an...

First, it is best to avoid installing the OCSSW processing system with "sudo".  Most users will want to install it in a normal user account without special permissions.  As previously discussed in these forums, Apple's python uses an obsolete ssl library.  You will need ...

Depending on how you want to use the data, you may want to adjust the list of flags masked by l2bin or l2mapgen (or gpt Mosaic).   In principle, you can use l2bin with a whole month of level-2 files.  In practice that may hit resource limits.  Most use cases will have files binne...

It sounds like you may be planning to average the daily mapped files to get 8-day and monthly mapped files.   You can streamline things a bit by using l3bin to combine daily binned files into 8-day binned files, and then combining three 8-day files with a few daily files to get monthly bin...
