1. Download and install build tools:

• Install J2SE 1.7 and set JAVA_HOME accordingly.
• Install Maven and set MAVEN_HOME accordingly.
• Install GIT and set GIT_HOME accordingly.
  • On Windows we recommend the msysGit package.
  • Make sure Git is configured correctly: type git config -l at your console; the value core.autocrlf has to be set to input
  • If it is not, open $GIT_HOME/etc/gitconfig and set core.autocrlf to input
• Create a directory for SeaDAS and set SEADAS to this directory.

1. Add $JAVA_HOME/bin, $MAVEN_HOME/bin and $GIT_HOME/bin to your PATH. (Windows: %JAVA_HOME%\bin, %MAVEN_HOME%\bin and %GIT_HOME%\bin)

2. Checkout Ceres, BEAM and SeaDAS using git:

   cd $SEADAS
   git clone git@github.com:seadas/ceres.git ceres
   git clone git@github.com:seadas/beam.git beam
   git clone git@github.com:seadas/seadas.git seadas
   

3. Build Ceres from source and install in local Maven repository:

   cd $SEADAS/ceres
   mvn install -DskipTests=true
   

4. Build SeaDAS from source and install in local Maven repository:

   cd $SEADAS/seadas
   mvn install -DskipTests=true
   

5. Open up the project in your IDE:

• Netbeans:
  • Menu Preferences Java Maven -> check 'Skip Tests for any build executions not directly related to testing'
  • Menu File -> Open Project and select seadas
  • Check the Open Required Projects box
  • Set the SeaDAS Bootstrap Classpath as the main project
  • Select the "SeaDAS" project Menu File -> Project Properties -> Build->Compile uncheck 'Compile on Save'
  • Menu File -> Project Properties -> Actions->select "Build Project" action:
    • Set Properties -> Add->Skip Tests
    • DO NOT Check 'Build with Dependencies'
    • Repeat for "Beam Core API" and "SeaDAS Bootstrap Classpath" projects
  • Select the "SeaDAS Bootstrap Classpath" project, Menu File -> Project Properties ->Run set:
    • Main Class: com.bc.ceres.launcher.Launcher
    • Working Directory: $SEADAS/seadas
    • VM Options: -Xmx2G -Dceres.context=seadas
• IntelliJ IDEA:
  • Main Menu -> File -> New Project -> Import Project from External Model
  • Choose Maven
  • Specify your root directory: $SEADAS (Note: put your actual path)
  • Check the box: Search for Directories Recursively
  • Check the box: default tools
  • Click Next
  • Click Finish
• Eclipse:
  • Build Eclipse project files for BEAM: cd $SEADAS/seadas mvn eclipse:eclipse
  • Delete the created .project file in the main project folder.
  • Make sure that M2_REPO classpath variable is set: - Open Window -> Preferences... then select Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variables - Select New... and add variable M2_REPO - Select Folder... and choose the location of your Maven local repository, e.g ~/.m2/repository. On Windows Vista the default Maven repository is C:\Users\<Username>\.m2\repository
  • Click Main Menu -> File -> Import
  • Select General -> Existing Project into Workspace
  • Select Root Directory $SEADAS/seadas
  • Click Finish

1. Use the following configuration to run BEAM/VISAT:

   • Main class: com.bc.ceres.launcher.Launcher
   • VM parameters: -Xmx2G -Dceres.context=seadas
   • Program parameters: none
   • Working directory: $SEADAS/seadas (replace $SEADAS with your actual path)
   • Use classpath of module (project in Eclipse): seadas-bootstrap

2. Copy the config file.

        cd $SEADAS/seadas
        mkdir config
        cp src/main/config/seadas.config config
   

3. Edit the following lines in the config file:

   • Set seadas.home = .
   • Set seadas.app = SeaDAS
   • Set seadas.logLevel = ALL
   • Set seadas.debug = true
   • Set seadas.splash.image = ./src/main/bin/common/splash.png
   • Set seadas.ocssw.root = your OCSSW root dirctory

4. Once you have all the configuration done, hit Make Project. Let it rebuild and then Run
