Hi

I have been having problems connecting to the servers to install the processing scripts on my mac (OS X 10.13.6).  I believe that the computer meets all the requirements in terms of versions of various programs but do not know if the issue is on my end.  I would be grateful for any pointers.

Thanks
cheers

Ajit,

Seems the Mac python install still has issues with SSL and "newer" (in quotes,because new is definitely relative here) ciphers.
Try installing Anaconda python (v2.7 -SeaDAS is not yet ready for 3.x).

Thanks.  But as far as I can tell I am running v2.7
dhcp-10-166:~ ajitmbpro17$ python -V
Python 2.7.13 :: Anaconda custom (x86_64)

Cheers

PS I suspect this is the same problem that prevented me from downloading some images while I was out in the Gulf last month, can't figure this out.

And just so you have it, here is the full message from seadas

Well, from a terminal it looks like you're pointing to the right python...perhaps the GUI is still grabbing the Apple installed version.
Try run the install_ocssw.py from a terminal window:

$ export OCSSWROOT=<path to seadas install>/ocssw
$ install_ocssw.py --git-branch=v7.5 [--aqua --seawifs --<other missions...>]
