A.3 Installing the OPeNDAP Matlab GUI Software

To run the OPeNDAP Matlab GUI, change your working directory to the directory where the OPeNDAP Matlab GUI files are kept ($DODS_ROOT/bin/matlab-gui), and start Matlab. Then issue the browse command. In order to run the OPeNDAP Matlab GUI from other directories, you only need to set three environment variables:

• Be sure that the $DODS_ROOT environment variable is set, as described in Section A.2.
• The $PATH environment variable must include an entry for the $DODS_ROOT/bin directory containing the writeval and geturl programs.
• The $MATLABPATH environment variable must include entries for the directories containing the Matlab client program (loaddods), the browser programs and data, as well as the directory containing the data archive files. These are usually $DODS_ROOT/bin, $DODS_ROOT/matlab-GUI and $DODS_ROOT/matlab-GUI/DATASETS⁹

If you didn't do it before, put these variable definitions into your shell's initialization file (.login, .profile, bashrc or whatever), so you won't have to set them by hand.

You are now ready to run the OPeNDAP Matlab GUI. Simply start Matlab, and type 'browse' at the prompt to see the browser window appear:
