A.2 Unpacking the OPeNDAP Matlab GUI Software

Once you have the files downloaded they must be uncompressed with the gzip program, and un-tarred with the tar program. The following command executes both at the same time:

gzip -d -c GUI-stuff.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

or, if you use GNU tar:

tar -xvzf GUI-stuff.tar.gz 

Move to the directory where you wish to store the OPeNDAP Matlab GUI, repeat this for each tar file you need to install.

If you are installing this software from a binary distribution, you may move on to the next section, Section A.3.

After the tar files have been unpacked, set the $DODS_ROOT environment variable. The way to do this will differ depending on the shell you use⁸. For csh and tcsh, use:

setenv DODS_ROOT /usr/local/OPD-2.8

(Make sure to use the correct version number.) For ksh and bash, use:

export DODS_ROOT=/usr/local/OPD-2.8

After you have set the environment variable (this might be a good time to add the variable definition to your .login, .cshrc or .profile initialization file), finish the configuration with the following shell commands:

cd $DODS_ROOT
./configure
make
make install
