Installing/Updating OCSSW Tools


One can maintain their own copy of OCSSW Tools in their project directory and keep them up to date. The follow instructions provides steps on how to accomplish this task.
  1. Load the modules needed to run Seadas:

    [scc1 $] module load python3 seadas/8.4.1

  2. Set the environment variable $OCSSWROOT to the location where you want to install OCSSW tools:

    [scc1 $] export OCSSWROOT=/projectnb/<your_projectname>/<your_username>/ocssw

  3. Then one can either :

    1. Start up Seadas GUI and then install OCSSW tools by going to the top menu and clicking on OCSSW -> Install Data Processors.

    2. Or using the terminal, run the 'install_ocssw' script. The script has many options on what tools to download or update. To view the options with this script, one can use the help flag:

      [scc1 $] install_ocssw -h

      To run the script you will need to specify a tag. To see a list of tags available run the following command:

      [scc1 $] install_ocssw --list_tags

      If one wants to install mostly everything, then run this command with the specified tag name (e.g. V2022.0) after the "-t" option:

      [scc1 $] install_ocssw -t V2023.3 --all

  4. Important note is that every time one connects to the SCC one will need to define the $OCSSWROOT path to where the OCSSW tools were installed. Depending on what tools one runs, one may also need to source a shell script installed in the $OCSSWROOT directory to set the appropriate environment variables:

    [scc1 $] source $OCSSWROOT/OCSSW_bash.env
