Starting the IDV using runIDV
Starting the IDV using
the runIDV script.
- Open a terminal window (if you do not have one open already)
and change to the directory into which you installed the IDV.
(e.g.,
/home/idv//IDV_7.0u1)
- To start the IDV for the workshop, from that directory type:
./runIDV -sitepath https://resources.unidata.ucar.edu/idv/data/
- If the
IDV Help Tips window is displayed
when you start the IDV and you don't want this to happen every time,
uncheck the Show this next time box and
click the Close button. You
can always bring up the help tips by selecting the
menu.
