Updating and reinstalling IGeoS

Complete reinstall

The complete installation can be repeated by using the following command:

$SIABIN/sia-update <URL> --agree --distribution full .all 

Above and below, URL is the web address of the server hosting the IGeoS distribution from which you will be receiving codes. Our main server is: http://seisweb.usask.ca

Note that option --agree above signifies your agreement with the terms of the license.

Reinstalling or adding components

Selected tools can be obtained and installed individually, for example (for tools "plot", "agc", and "filter"):

$SIABIN/sia-update <URL> --agree --distribution full plot agc filter

All tools (also called "modules") can be reinstalled by using:

$SIABIN/sia-update <URL> --agree --distribution full .modules

Other components (basically, directories under $SIAHOME) can be re-installed by:

$SIABIN/sia-update <URL> --agree --distribution full .source
$SIABIN/sia-update <URL> --agree --distribution full .include
$SIABIN/sia-update <URL> --agree --distribution full .configure
$SIABIN/sia-update <URL> --agree --distribution full .applications

Automatic updating from source code

Currently, automatic updates are only available from the GUI. When started by the administrator, button "Update" .will appear in the lower-right corner of the GUI. The resulting dialog  will show the available updates, allow selections. Clicking 'Update" in the dialogue will download the codes. When the GUI or batch program is started again by the administrator, it will first compile the codes by using the same sia-update utility as above.
