The tools contained in the
product-tools
package were developed using Java and will run on any platform with a supported Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The tools were specifically developed under Sun Java version 1.4, so the tool will execute correctly under versions 1.4 or 1.5.
Since the tools are developed using Sun's Java, this is the preferred Java environment for operation. The Sun Java package can be obtained from the
Sun Java
web site. Other Java environments are relatively compatible with Sun'
s Java. Testing has been performed with GNU's Java environment. The result is that release 4.1.1 at a minimum is required for nominal operations.
Release
1r64
or later of the Planetary Science Data Dictionary (PSDD) is required for the tools to function properly. Release
1r66
of the PSDD supports the validation of explicit FILE objects. The latest version of the PDS data dictionary can be retrieved from the
PDS Data Dictionary
web page.
Download the
product-tools
package from the
PDS Software Download
web page. The binary and source distributions are available in identical zip or tar/gzip packages. Unpack the selected binary distribution file with one of the following commands:
[node: ~] unzip product-tools-2.0.1.zip
or
[node: ~] tar -xzvf product-tools-2.0.1.tar.gz
Unpack the selected source distribution file with one of the following commands:
[node: ~] unzip product-tools-2.0.1-src.zip
or
[node: ~] tar -xzvf product-tools-2.0.1-src.tar.gz
Note:
Depending on the platform, the native version of
tar
may produce an error when attempting to unpack the distribution file because many of the file paths are greater than 100 characters. If available, the GNU version of tar will resolve this problem. If that is not available or cannot be installed, the zipped package will work just fine in a UNIX environment.
