Hi,

I'm trying to install Aqua processors of SeaDAS 7.4 in a Linux virtual Machine. It starts downloading the files, but at the end I get this error. I tried also installing TERRA and VIIRS

error: Empty reply from server (curl_result = 52, http_code = 0, sha1 = 0268bba4cf087f85ef0707dc159128f5f9d2d9ae)

Any idea?

The networking on many virtual machines can be really flaky.  For some reason git, which uses libcurl for networking, has trouble if the network is flaky.  I would try to do the install a many times and see if one of the installs succeeds.  If that does not work you might have to resort to the "local" install option for the OCSSW processing software.  Here is a link to that process:

https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/ocssw/

Download all of the bundles listed at the top of this page into a directory.  Then run:

install_ocssw.py -i <OCSSW_INSTALL_DIR> -b v7.4 -l <bundle_download_dir> --aqua --terra --viirsn

Thank you Don. It's strange cause I used to do it without any problem.

Regarding the bundle files, I'm a bit lost about these ones

bin-<arch>.bundle
bin3-<arch>.bundle
Optionally, any sensor bundles desired

What should be put instead of <arch> and how can I download (what are the names) for the sensors bundles? Are they necessary or all the sensors' processors are included in the other bundles?
Thank you in advance

Ana

If you scroll down, there is a table listing all of the bundles available.

For you <arch> is probably "linux_64"
You want to download the bundles for your desired sensors:

MODIS Common Processing Data
MODIS-Aqua Processing Data
MODIS-Aqua (hires) Processing Data
MODIS-Terra Processing Data
MODIS-Terra (hires) Processing Data
Suomi-NPP VIIRS Processing Data

Thanks. One more thing, installing using --aqua does it install also the MODIS-Aqua (hires) processor? I downloaded the bundle in the same directory as the rest.
Thanks again!

Ana

Yes, there really hasn't been a distinction for a long time now.
