The QA process for SPEDAS 5.0 has now been completed, and this versionof the software is now released for general use for users who have paidfor IDL licenses. This release includes improved support for HTTPS downloads,updated plugin support for the ERG, IUGONET, THEMIS, MMS and other missions, andmany bug fixes and performance improvements.
Download Idl For Mac
If you have an IDL software license, then you can download and use either the SPEDAS 5.0 release or the untested the nightly build. Check with your system administrator on how to obtain and install IDL.
Alternatively, you can download the nightly build instead of the SPEDAS 4.1 release. This is build every day and it contains the most recent source code, but it is untested and you may encounter bugs and unresolved problems. It can be installed the same way as the SPEDAS 4.0 release, above.
Installation instructions can be found on the download page, but usually you have to copy two files into the IDL bin directory, 1) a .dlm file and 2) either a .so file (Linux, Mac) or a .dll file (Windows).
The suggested installation method is to run the install script for your operating system (e.g., install_idl_win.bat for Windows, install_idl_win.sh for macOS/Linux). Running these scripts will download the latest version of the library and install them to your chosen IDL installation folder.
For Windows, after unzipping the file and launching spd_gui/spedas.exe, depending on your Windows security settings, you may see a popup window with a security warning about running programs downloaded from the internet. If this happens, there should be a button labeled "More info" -- if you click it, you should then see an option to run the program anyway. You should only have to do this the first time you run the SPEDAS executable.
If installing the downloaded package fails due to warnings about a newer Java version already being installed, you will need to run a few Applescript commands to allow the installation to proceed successfully. See this page for further details:
On Mac and Linux platforms, IDL depends on the X11 window system and Motif GUI toolkit for most graphics. Newer Mac OS X versions do not include the X11 libraries. XQuartz (X11) has to be downloaded and installed, or IDL will not work.
The first time you run SPEDAS, please make sure that all the directories where data files will be downloaded exist and have the proper permissions (they should be writable). To do this, launch the SPEDAS GUI (using the command spd_gui) and in the File menu choose Configuration Settings. Make sure that all the directories for SPEDAS and any other missions you use exist and are writable. If you make any changes, click "Save to File" to have the new settings saved.
Only license administrators can download the IDL software from l3harrisgeospatial.com. General LC users can download the installer from the CZ Confluence page. If you do not see the installer you are looking for, please contact lc-graphics@llnl.gov.
(A new program, named cgFindCoyoteFiles has been added to the Library to help you findand eliminate old and out-dated versions of Coyote Library files. Runningthe program will print of list of directories on your IDL path that theprogram strongly suspects contain Coyote Library files. If you finddirectories that do contain old and out-dated Coyote programs, you shoulddelete those directories before proceeding.) The general procedure is to first download the entire Coyote Library (or Catalyst Library) as a zip file. Then, unzip the file and extract the programs to a directory that is already on your IDLpath, or to a directory you intend to put on your IDL path (see detailed instructions below).You can also download the Coyote and Catalyst Libraries from aSubversion code repository. You must have aSubversion client installed to use the repository, however. (Many UNIX systems have this installed by default and I highly recommend Windows users downloadthe TortoiseSVN application to use for this purpose.) The Subversionrepository is highly recommended as this is the main repository for all the workI do on these Libraries. You can use the repository to update to the very lastest versionof the Libraries, or to a particular tagged release. The zip files always contain the verylatest version of the Library. Note that I try extremely hard to keep the Coyote Library free of outside influence. That is to say,even though I personally use many routines from both the IDL AstronomyLibrary and the JohnsHopkins Applied Physics Lab Library, I do not use these routines in Coyote Library programs.Thus, there are no library dependencies in the Coyote Library, except from the normal IDL user library and from the Coyote Library itself. (I can think of a single exception to thisrule, cgTerminatorMap, but it is clearly identified as such.) I try hard to keep the Coyote Library away from cutting edge IDL improvments, but life does goes on. If you are using an older (e.g., IDL 6.3) versionof IDL you may find some routines in the Library no longer working for you. If you do,contact me about the problem. It'spossible I can retreive an older version of the program that works for you.
idl 8.5.1 for Mac could be downloaded from the developer's website when we last checked. We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this app available. The software is included in Education Tools. We recommend checking the downloaded files with any free antivirus. The actual developer of this free Mac application is Exelis Visual Information Solutions. The following version: 8.2 is the most frequently downloaded one by the program users.
Now we want to update SSW for the first time, which will download allthe instrument paths defined by $SSW_INSTR. Go to your /scripts folderand create a new file called 'update_ssw'. Put the following lines inthis file:
which will download all the files for your instrument list.This should take a long time (perhaps a few hours), and you can check progress by taking alook at the file /ssw/site/setup/update_ssw.log.
Install Internet Download Manager (IDM) to stop waiting for your downloads. You will be truly amazed how fast IDM downloads your files. IDM will also repair broken and resume interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns,or unexpected power outages.
Our powerful download engine uses unique algorithms to receive Internet data in a fastest possible way. IDM will accelerate downloads all times because of its innovative dynamic file segmentation technology.Unlike other download managers and accelerators, IDM segments downloaded files dynamically during download process, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve the best possible acceleration performance.Our engineers have a lot of experience in download acceleration, and we constantly improve this download engine since 1999.
After installing "IDM integration module" browser extension, just continue surfing the Internet, and you will be amazed how easy is to download everything you want from your favorite web sites with IDM video download panel.
Internet Download Manager can connect to the Internet at a set time, download the files you want, disconnect, or shut down your computer when it's done. You can also synchronize changes using periodic synchronization of files.It's possible to create and schedule several download queues for downloading or synchronization.
You may choose the order, buttons and columns to appear on the main IDM window. There are several different skins for the toolbar with different button styles. All skins can be downloaded from IDM home site. Also users can design their own skins.Also you can choose the light or dark IDM theme.Choose and set up new IDM toolbar
Windows. Download the appropriate zip bundle. Unzip the downloaded file into a temporal directory. Navigate into the "dave" directory that is created, execute "Setup.exe" and follow the instructions to install DAVE. After installation an entry would be created in your start menu (as indicated during installation) from which you can launch DAVE. A destop shortcut is also created. Note that on some version of Windows, Administrator privileges are required to install an application.You can just as easily uninstall DAVE (requires Administrator privileges) using one of two methods:
Linux. download the appropriate version from the link above and extract the files (eg "tar zxvf downloaded_file.tgz"). Then change directory to the "dave" directory and run "./dave". Please note that DAVE must be launched from the installation directory otherwise some program modules may not work properly.Note 1: For some linux distributions (eg Ubuntu 10.04), users have reported a seg fault with newer versions of DAVE which has been traced to a missing libstdC++ library. This can be fixed by locating and installing the package for your distribution that provides libstdC++.so.6. For Ubuntu, this can be achieved by visiting ; enter libstdc++.so.6.0.3 in the search field and select RedHat EL 4 distro; then search, download and install the appropriate package that is found for your distribution. Note 2: If you are experiencing any problems with fonts and/or plotting, then you need to modify the file called 'dave' and change the line:topdir=`dirname $0`so that the topdir variable points to the installation directory in which the 'dave' file is located. For example, if the downloaded DAVE archive was extracted into a directory called /home/path/to/dave, the line in the 'dave' file should be topdir=/home/path/to/daveThis modification should also enable dave to be executed from anywhere (without changing directory to the installation directory first). Thus DAVE can be launched by issuing the command '/home/path/to/dave/dave' from anywhere.In addition, executing the following soft link as root:ln -s /home/path/to/dave/dave /usr/local/bin/davewould give any user the ability to execute DAVE by simply typing dave on the command line irrespective of the current directory. 2ff7e9595c
