        <h2>Overview</h2>

        <h3>Operating System Requirements</h3>

        <p>ISIS runs on many UNIX variants including:</p>

        <p>ISIS runs on many UNIX variants. ISIS does not run on MS Windows. The UNIX variants supported are listed here:</p>

        <ul>

         <li>Ubuntu</li>

         <li>RHEL</li>

         <li>Fedora</li>

         <li>MacOSX</li>

        </ul>

         <p>It does not run on MS Windows.</p>

         <h3>Hardware Requirements</h3>

         <p>ISIS has fairly minimal requirements depending on your needs:</p>

         <p>Here are the minimum hardware requirements</p>

         <ul>

         <li>64-bit x86 processors (more cores is better)</li>

         <lI>2 GB memory (more memory is better)</lI>

         <li>10 GB to 180GB disk storage for ISIS installation</li>

         <li>10 GB to many TB disk storage for processing images</li>

         <li>Quality graphics card (one that support two monitors can be useful)</li>

         <li>64-bit (x86) processors</li>

         <li>10 GB to 180 GB disk space for ISIS installation</li>

         <li>10 GB to many TB disk space for processing images</li>

         <li>A quality graphics card</li>

         </ul>

	 <p>Note: More processors, memory, disk storage, and an additional graphcis card (to support the use of two monitors at

	 one time) may be useful depending on the complexity of your processing requirements

	 </p>

         <h3>Mission Requirements</h3>

         <p>ISIS supports many planetary missions; in fact, over 40 different instruments including some

         flown as early

         as the 1960s.  Ancillary data is required to process images from these instruments.  For example, translation

         definition files to help convert from PDS format to ISIS cubes, dark current and flat file images are used for radiometric

         as the 1960s.  Ancillary data are required to process images from these instruments.  For example, translation

         definition files to help convert from PDS format to ISIS cubes, dark current and flat file images for radiometric

         calibration, and large quantities of SPICE files (spacecraft pointing and position) for map projecting images.

         If you plan to work with data

         from all missions then the download will require about 180 GB for all the ancillary data.  However, most of this

         from all missions, then the download will require about 180 GB for all the ancillary data.  However, most of this

         volume is taken up by SPICE files.  We have a SPICE Web service that can be used in lieu of downloading all of the

         SPICE files which can reduce the download size to 10 GB.  When downloading ISIS you will have the option of

         SPICE files which can reduce the download size to 10 GB.  When downloading ISIS, you will have the option of

         choosing which mission data to acquire as well as if you only want the translation and calibration files and not

         SPICE files.

         </p>

         <h3>DTM Requirements</h3>

         <p>A strength of ISIS lies in it capabilities for planetary cartography.

         <p>ISIS strength lies in its capabilities for planetary cartography.

         The image orthorectification process is improved if a digital

         terrain model is used (DTM).  The DTMs can be quite large and take time to download.  They exist for

         many planetary bodies (e.g., Moon, Mars, etc). Therefore there are options for selecting which DTMs to download

         many planetary bodies (e.g., the Moon, Mars, etc.). Therefore, there are options for selecting which DTMs to download

         if you are only working with a particular target body.

        <h3>Recommended Installation Process</h3>

        <p>

          ISIS 3 now features a downloadable Java-based installer.  The installer provides user options for chosing which mission packages and target DEMS (e.g. Mars, Moon) to download.

          It also includes the sizes of the packages.   During the installation process, you can chose to use the ISIS SPICE web service which will eliminate the need to download most of the

          SPICE data for a mission.

         This is one of the biggest issues with downloading ISIS.  Most problems stem from a firewall restriction on

    <h3>How do I know if the rsync commands were successful</h3>

    <h3>How do I know if the rsync commands were successful?</h3>

    <p>

      Unfortunately rsync sometimes hangs or does not complete because of dropped network connections.  The drops can happen

      on your end, our end, or anywhere in between.  Keep rerunning rsync until the command completes.

    Just rerun the rsync commands or GUI installer (which uses rsync) again.  Rsync only acquires files that have changed or do not

    exist in you installation.  The update process will typically be much faster than the original download.

    <h3>How often do you update ISIS</h3>

    <h3>How often do you update ISIS?</h3>

    <p>

      We update our mission data areas often (sometime nightly) as new SPICE files are provided by the active missions.  Our binaries (application programs) are updated

      on a quarterly schedule.

        <h3>When will a Windows version be available?</h3>

            <p>

                Currently we have limited software development staff to support and modify ISIS, which implies directly running on a native Windows

                environment is not something that will happen in the near future.

             <h3>What operating systems have been dropped?</h3>

             <p>

               As operating systems and hardware age security flaws are no longer patched and new APIs are not upgraded, which stunts the growth of ISIS on those systems.

               Therefore we no longer build ISIS on the following platforms:
