Error trying to install the OC processor.

[iagogradin]

Hi,

I downloaded SeaDas version 7.3.2 for Mac OS.

When I try to download the Oc processor using GUI, I always get this error message:

SeaDAS - error ocssw installation script failed to download
Please check network connection or "seadas.ocssw.root" variable in the "seadas.config" file
possible cause of error: Operation timed out.

My network connection works fine, so I was wondering if you guys would now what could be the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Until a new GUI is released you have to use the manual installation procedure on the Download page.   The python version that comes with MacOS does not work, so you will need to use a 3rd party Python (Anaconda or macports).

Hello,

I too am having trouble installing the OCSSW processors on my mac. I am running El Capitan v. 10.11.6. The error I get when I run the install_ocssw.py script is this:

Riesling:Downloads dulci$ python install_ocssw.py
  File "install_ocssw.py", line 168
    else:
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Riesling:Downloads dulci$

This is using the original default python that comes with a Mac. I know that I need to upgrade my python so it talks nicely to SeaDAS. So I downloaded the recommended Anaconda python v. 2.7. The navigator does not work. When I try to open it with the icon it just disappears. So I tried to launch it from a terminal, and got this error:

Riesling:~ dulci$ conda install anaconda-navigator

I have no idea what any of that means other than that the permission is denied.

So now I can't install the OCSSW processors using the python that I have, and I can open the anaconda python from my terminal but it won't run the install_ocssw script. I get the same error about line 168.

What do I do?

Thank you so much!

Others have reported this on the Continuum Forums, but the two recommendations: use
"sudo" and disabling SIP aren't (as pointed out by Stephen Waterbury) satisfactory.

Gotcha. Whether anaconda navigator works for me or not is a largely moot issue, because I just need the OCSSW processors to install. I don't code in python, so I am unfamiliar with how to work around different issues. The error message I got saying that there was a syntax error on line 168 in the install_ocssw.py code was also displayed when I ran the anaconda python from the command line.

I appreciate that so many people are active on this forum.

I'm sorry you're having some much trouble with this...:confused:
I did not use the graphical installer for anaconda, rather the command-line installer.
That installed flawlessly.  I was then able to run the install_ocssw.py script with no issues, so I'm surprised it's giving you fits.

Maybe if you remove anaconda and reinstall using the command-line installer it might work...

Hi Sean,

I reinstalled python with the Anaconda command line processor, and I also re-downloaded the install_ocssw.py script. It is currently installing! Yay! Thank you!
