This web page explains how to install and run the Unidata Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) using Java Web Start. The IDV is the reference application for the Unidata MetApps development, making general tools for displaying geo-referenced datasets. Java Web Start is an application-deployment technology that downloads all software needed from the Web and then starts the application. You do not need to set up directories, or FTP files, or configure anything - Web Start does it for you.
Before starting, please see the System Requirements .
The IDV User's Guide is online at http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/IDV/docs/UserGuide/.
(one time only) You only have to install the Web Start program once, unless you need to
update to a later version. Under Linux and Solaris, you will be prompted
for the pathname of the installed JRE - the Java runtime environment. Be
sure you are running Web Start version 1.0.1_02 or later (but not 1.2 until
it is an FCS (non-beta/RC) version). There is a security problem with earlier
versions (1.0, 1.0.1_01, etc). If you are using Netscape, after installing
WebStart, you must exit Netscape, and start Netscape again.
.
Once Web Start is installed, you only click here to start the IDV every time.
