SeaDAS 8.1.0 installation error

[shahibillu]

Hi, I am facing a similar issue when installing SeaDAS 8.3.0.
this is the error message that I am getting.

Verifying archive integrity... 100% All good.

Command line arguments:

I am using Virtual machine hosted in KVM and connecting with ssh via mobaxterm. In Mobaxterm X11 forwarding is enabled.

Please let me know a feasible solution to this.

What is the OS in the virtual machine? Did you try to run the installer with root privileges (e.g., linux with with su, sudo, doas, etc.) or as a regular user?

Hi,
The OS is ubundu 20.04. We are using normal privileges and not root privileges to install the application at a specific location in my home directory itself.

Moreover, from this tutorial (https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/tutorials/installation_tutorial/) we have already installed all the packages from step 1 and step 2 and below is the error message that we get when we proceed with the third step. We tried changing the java version as well, but it didn't make any difference.

The tutorial you used is outdated, see: https://github.com/seadas/seadas-toolbox/wiki/SeaDAS-8.x-Download,-Installation-and-Run-Instructions, but running installer didn't change.

This might mean the installer isn't able to open a GUI window. Have you checked that X11 apps are working in the VM? Do you have Java-related variables in the environment?

You might try the https://izpack.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IZPACK/pages/491547/Sample+Install+Definition to see if that works in your configuration.

Hi,
How can I activate seadas terminal? I wanna work with the command line window instead of gui. I have successfully installed gui and it is working. But unable to install seadas terminal. Please let me know.

There is no “SeaDAS terminal”. Do you mean that you want to run OCSSW programs in a terminal? Have you installed the OCSSW software using the GUI?

[OB SeaDAS - xuanyang02]

You can install SeaDAS processors (OCSSW) with GUI or manually -- https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/downloads/

If you want to run SeaDAS processors on command line, you also need to add a few lines in your .bashrc file. See the instruction at the bottom of the above mentioned page

What's the work around?
