Quickstart

  1. Install SEAScope

    1. Download the SEAScope tar.gz archive
    2. Extract the content of the archive
    3. Done!

  2. Add some data (by default SEAScope does not contain any data)

    1. You can either generate your own data, or grab some from the IDF Data page (like the samples archive)
    2. Extract the archive to the data subdirectory of the seascope folder

  3. Now that you have data to display, launch SEAScope

    1. Go inside the seascope directory
    2. Execute the seascope command (./seascope on the command line, or with a double-click if using a graphical interface)

For example, using the command line: 

wget "https://seascope.oceandatalab.com/viewer/seascope-viewer-20240910.tar.gz"
tar xzf seascope-viewer-20240910.tar.gz
wget 'https://seascope.oceandatalab.com/data/idf_samples/light_samples_OTC2023.tar.gz' \
     -O '/tmp/light_samples_OTC2023.tar.gz
tar xzf /tmp/light_samples_OTC2023.tar.gz -C seascope/data
cd seascope
./seascope

SEAScope will index the data you downloaded during the initial startup process so please be patient: this step is skipped if the index already exists, allowing the application to start much faster afterwards.
