Download and Install CAVE

Release 18.1.1-1, September 5, 2018

Linux

install.sh --cave

For CentOS/Red Hat 6 and 7. Installs to /awips2/cave and writes files to /caveData.

chmod 755 install.sh
sudo ./install.sh --cave

Run CAVE from the Linux Desktop menu Applications > Internet > AWIPS CAVE, or from the command line as simply cave.

System Requirements

  • x86_64 CentOS/RHEL 6 or 7
  • OpenGL 2.0 capable device
  • 4GB RAM
  • Latest NVIDIA driver
  • approx. 2GB disk space for data caching (/caveData)

You can reset CAVE at any time by removing the ~/caveData directory (on macOS ~/Library/caveData) and reconnecting to an EDEX server.

macOS

Download and install both
awips2-cave-18.1.1-1.dmg
awips-python.pkg

Supported Graphics Devices for macOS

  • Intel HD Graphics
  • Intel Iris
  • NVIDIA GeForce

    • Unsupported Graphics Devices for macOS

  • AMD Radeon R9
  • AMD Radeon Pro
  • AMD FirePro D300

    • Writes and syncs files to ~/Library/caveData.

    awips-python.pkg is not a prerequisite, and CAVE will still run and display data without it, but to use any derived parameter functions such as wind barbs/arrows and grid parameters on various vertical coordinates, jep must be installed in some way (it is assumed in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/jep/)

    64-bit Windows

    awips-cave-18.1.1-1.amd64.msi

    Writes files to caveData in the user's home directory.

    AWIPS Data in the Cloud

    Unidata and XSEDE Jetstream have partnered to offer a EDEX data server in the cloud, open to the Unidata university community. Select the server in the Connectivity Preferences dialog, or enter edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu (without http:// before, or :9581/services after).

    Troubleshooting

    Localization Preferences Error

    You can reset CAVE by removing the ~/caveData directory (on macOS ~/Library/caveData) and then run cave again to connect to an EDEX server. Your local files have been removed, but if you are re-connecting to an EDEX server you have used before, the remote files will sync again to your local ~/caveData (bundles, colormaps, etc.).

    No Images Displayed

    If you are able to load wire-frame contours but not images, update your video driver.
