INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To install the MOD09 DB package on a Linux system (32 or 64 bit), first download the tarfile from

ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/gumley/modis_db/modis_db_20071217.tar.gz

Then make a directory for the package, and unpack the tarfile. For example:

cd $HOME  (or wherever you want to install it)
wget ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/gumley/modis_db/modis_db_20071217.tar.gz
mkdir modis_db
cd modis_db
tar zxvf ../modis_db_20071217.tar.gz

See 00README.txt for detailed instructions on how to proceed from there. But if you hate to read manuals, here's a small Terra MODIS test case:

mkdir test
cd test
wget ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/gumley/modis_db/t1.07255.1651.\*.hdf.gz
gzip -vd *.hdf.gz

To run the test case:

export MODIS_DB_HOME=$HOME/modis_db  (or wherever you installed it)
. $MODIS_DB_HOME/scripts/modis_db_env.bash
run_mod09.csh terra t1.07255.1651.1000m.hdf t1.07255.1651.500m.hdf \
 t1.07255.1651.250m.hdf t1.07255.1651.geo.hdf 2007255 1651
