Download CODAS software using Mercurial

This is the first of four steps to install the CODAS software on the computer built using earlier sections of this documentation.

Note

If you are running the pre-built virtual computer, you can skip this step. It is already done.

Mercurial is a distributed version control system. We use it to store and track changes in CODAS software. With any of the options (1,2,3) for installation, Mercurial should already be installed.

Make a location for CODAS software

We will put downloaded code and documentation in the following subdirectories of the user’s home directory:

• ~/adcpcode/programs (for these mercurial repositories and a few zip archives)

• ~/adcpcode/topog (for topography)

To make this structure, execute:

mkdir ~/adcpcode
mkdir ~/adcpcode/programs
mkdir ~/adcpcode/topog

Use Mercurial to download our code, along with its history:

cd ~/adcpcode/programs
hg clone   https://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/hg/codas3
hg clone   https://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/hg/pycurrents
hg clone   https://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/hg/onship
hg clone   https://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/hg/uhdas

Now you are ready to compile and install CODAS components.
