How to Set-Up

Firstly copy the tar.Z file. Having done this the process is simple.
Start by uncompressing and untarring it. This is done by typing the following :

  1. uncompress MapMarker-V1.0b.tar.Z
  2. tar xvf MapMarker-V1.0b.tar
This will explode MapMarker into the relevant directory structure, in a directory called MapMarker-V0.1b.

That's all there is to setting it up.


Getting Started

Start by cd'ing into the top (root) MapMarker directory :

cd MapMarker-V0.1b

You may have to edit the file "runMM.csh" found in this directory.
The lines that may need editting are :

"setenv MM_BROWSER Mosaic"
This is currently set to use Mosaic for testing URL's. Simply change this to the browser of your choice.
If you are using Mosaic, find out what it is called at your site. For example we call it "Mosaic", but you may call it "mosaic". It is required when testing URL's

"setenv EDITIMAGE $MAP_MARKER/editimage/editimage"
Under the directory "MapMarker-V0.1b/editimage", you will find a file called "editimage".
You have two options :
  1. Leave this line as it is.
  2. Move these files to somewhere under the "/develop" directory at your site, and amend this line accordingly.
Having done all this you are about ready to start using MapMarker, simply type :
    ./runMM.csh
to run MapMarker.
