Download documentation and processing demo directories

Note

If you are using a prebuilt Virtual Computer, you can skip this step

The components to be downloaded are zip archives served from https://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/docs/zipped. The most reliable way to download them is by using the curl utility which is available by default on MacOS. You can probably right-click on the items and select “download”, but they may not land where you want them to be. Follow the instructions below for a consistent result.

On Linux, if you don’t have it yet, install it with:

sudo apt install curl

To download and install everything in the appropriate location, execute:

cd ~/adcpcode/programs
curl -O https://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/docs/zipped/adcp_doc.zip
unzip adcp_doc.zip
curl -O https://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/docs/zipped/adcp_py3demos.zip
unzip adcp_py3demos.zip

The first of these contains the same documentation you are reading now:

zip archive	subdirectory	contents
DOCUMENTATION
adcp_doc.zip	adcp_doc	same contents as on WWW

The second contains tutorial and demo material:

zip archive	subdirectory	contents
DEMO PROCESSING
adcp_py3demos_proc.zip	adcp_py3demos/adcp_pyproc	Python3 CODAS Processing Tutorials
	adcp_py3demos/uhdas_data	UHDAS data
	adcp_py3demos/vmdas_data	VmDAS data

Your adcp_py3demos directory structure should look like this after unpacking:

The fourth and final step in getting CODAS processing to work, is to download suitable topography.
