[IDV #MYJ-407336]: Help installing idv



Hi Zilore,

Installing and running the IDV from source is a complicated process requiring
precise versions of Java (java 8u51), Java 3D, etc. I strongly suggest simply
downloading the IDV here:

https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/current/index.jsp

Best,

> I have also set "export JAVA_HOME=$HOME/jdk1.8.0_181" and the PATH. This
