HyperDAAC Installation & Configuration

In response to feedback from early beta tests, we are providing an automated installer, built using Zero G Software's "Install Anywhere". This gives you a very simple installation procedure, and on Windows platforms adds the HyperDAAC to your Start Menu. It requires a simple post-installation configuration step, in which you specify:

1. Where your HyperDAAC CDROM is mounted
2. What default resolution you wish to use for browsing

The configuration tool will run for you the first time you run the software, and any time it cannot find the CDROM. After exiting, just run the HyperDAAC program again to launch the real application.

The complete auto-install instructions are:

1. Ensure you hava JAVA 1.1 installed. If you don't already have it, you can find it here.
2. Run the installer for your platform: choices are:
   • windows runs on Win95/98/NT
   • unix shell script - runs on any Unix, as well as Unix-like systems such as Linux
   • macos
   • other - Pure JAVA installer runs on any JAVA platform.
3. Run the installed HyperDAAC application. The first time you run it, you will get the configuration tool. Afterwards, you will get the application itself.

Note - the MacOS and Unix installers do not execute directly from the CDROM. This is a limitation of the filesystem used on the CDROM. For Unix, "sh install.bin" will work; for MacOS you can copy the install to your harddisc, run it, and delete it.

The installation requires about 1Mb hard disc space (the product runs mostly from the CDROM). Further disc space is required whenever you generate a high-resolution scene.
