Download and Run MeteInfo

MeteInfo could be downloaded freely from the website http://www.meteothinker.com. The complete MeteoInfo Java package should, after uncompression, include the following items:

- MeteoInfo launcher in a shell command file called "meteoinfo.sh" for MAC OS, Linux, Unix system.

- MeteoInfo launcher in a batch command file called "meteoinfo.bat" for Windows system.

- MeteoInfo executable file called "JMeteoInfo.exe" for Windows system.

- MeteoInfo jar file called "MeteoInfo.jar".

- Default MeteoInfo project file called "default.mip".

- Configure file called "config.xml".

- Splash file called "splash.png'.

- Library files in a folder called "lib".

- Map data files in a folder called "map".

- Sample data files in a folder called "sample".

- Image data files in a folder called "image".

- README file.

On Windows paltform, you can launch MeteoInfo by double-clicking "MeteoInfo.exe" file, or by run the batch command file "meteoinfo.bat". The batch command file with parameters will run a Jython or Groovy script according to the file suffix ("meteoinfo.bat test.py" or "meteoinfo.bat test.groovy").

On other platforms, you should run MeteoInfo from the shell command line; 'cd' into the directory where the above files are located and then type:

./meteoinfo.sh

This will execute a one-line command in the shell file which starts MeteoInfo and requests that it be allocated 1 GB of memory. To run the script, type:

./meteoinfo.sh test.py

or

./meteoinfo.sh test.groovy

Using './meteoinfo.sh -e' will open the script editor form.

Using './meteoinfo.sh -b test.py' will run the script under headless model, which is essential for crontab job with no DISPLAY environment.
