How to Access, Download, and Install the ADPAA (Airborne Data Processing and Analysis)

Download

You can download the ADPAA file from Airborne Data Processing and Analysis (ADPAA).

Accessing on Personal Computer

Using the link above (Under Download), you can access the ADPAA repository on the Source Forge website by using the “Code” tab, selecting the folder “trunk,” then “src.” Alternatively, to access the repository on your personal device outside of Source Forge, you can download a subversion client.

Downloading SVN (Subversion Client)

* Current knowledge is limited to Windows - Update with discovery *

For Windows

You will need to download a SVN Client. For Windows, the author of this page recommends TortoiseSVN, but it is good to analyze your options and determine what will work best for you. * You can download TortoiseSVN here.

After downloading the ADPAA file and an SVN client from the website above, find its location in your computer files. With TortoiseSVN, you can right click on the file (filename is usually “ADPAA.tar.gz”) and select TortoiseSVN > Repo-browser

You will be prompted to enter a URL. Navigate back to the Source Forge website (where you downloaded the ADPAA repository from), and tab over to the “Code” tab. You should see a text box with the options “SSH,” “HTTPS,” and “RO” displayed to the left of it. Select “HTTPS” and copy the link, starting at “https:”. This is the URL you'll submit to TortoiseSVN.

This allows you access the ADPAA a different way.

Installing the ADPAA

Typically, this is only done on measurement devices to allow access to the code created for data acquisition, such as a Raspberry Pi.

After downloading the ADPAA onto your Raspberry Pi from the link above, you will find it in your “Downloads” folder.

  1. Right click on the file (ADPAA.tar.gz) and select “Extract Here”
  2. After this, run the command “sudo apt upgrade” to make sure the computer is updated and every package installed.
  3. Additionally, run the command sudo “apt-get install subversion”, otherwise, you'll run into some issues later.
  4. Once it has finished, open the file, “Share” and select the text file entitled “INSTALL”
  5. Follow the instructions in the ADPAA INSTALL file very carefully. Do not skip any steps or think that you may disregard them.
  6. The very first step is to create an APDAA directory. Once you have done so, move all the files from the ADPAA from downloads to this directory, which will appear as a folder under your Raspberry Pi Home directory.
  7. After you complete the “Developer Version Source Code Download of Package (Read Access)” step, enter your file tree and copy the folder titled “src” out of the folder titled “adpaa-code” and into your main “ADPAA” folder. Then, you can delete the “adpaa-code” file.
    1. You may have to use the command “sudo rm -r adpaa-code” to delete it.

Trouble Shooting:

  • You will likely encounter an error that says “Permission denied” or something similar along the way. If this occurs, try adding the root command “sudo” to the beginning of the line. If that doesn't work, the program will tell you, and you can try “sudo apt” in cases where you are installing or downloading something.
