Installing from Zip archives
-----------------------------

This is the way of the past. This will provide you with
a stable CODAS installation that works with most datasets
produced by UHDAS, VmDAS, or DAS2.48 for the following RDI ADCPs:

   - OS150, OS75, OS38
   - NB150
   - WH300
   - BB75

No plotting or data manipulation is done in Python with
this distribution, but Python is used as the overall scripting
language.


New installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Follow the instructions below for obtaining zip
archives and installing them. NOTE: When you install our matlab code,
there will be no "m_map" included. If you wish to use "m_map", you
should either copy the version you were using before (from your
renamed directory) or download a new version, if appropriate. See the
"matlab" portion of the discussion about paths, below.

(1) Install `Python 2.5 or 2.6 <install_python.html>`_

(2) Install `Matlab <install_matlab.html>`_ (up through R2007b);
    we have not tried R2008

(3) Install `CODAS programs <codas_zips2install.html>`_ from zip archives

(4) Set up your paths:

    * `windows <windows_paths.html>`_
    * `unix <unix_paths.html>`_

Upgrading
^^^^^^^^^^

There really isn't such a thing as an upgrade, only a
re-installation. Move your present "programs" directory to another
name for safekeeping, then follow the instructions below for a new
installation.

Pay attention to the section about paths (matlab path, python path,
path to executables) below: you will have to alter your present
configuration to find files in new locations, as the code has been
reorganized since the last release.
