AvnFPS OB9 installation is relatively straight-forward. The entire
process of installing AvnFPS OB9 should take less than a minute.
The software is delivered as part of AWIPS OB9 build on DVD disk.
Once mounted, AvnFPS OB9 can be found under the /media/cdrecorder
filesystem.
dx1-wfo{fxa}16: ls -la /media/cdrecorder
-r--r--r-- 1 fxa fxalpha 10965450 Dec 31 17:27 AvnFPSOB9.tgz
-r-xr-xr-x 1 fxa fxalpha 9093 Dec 31 17:17 installAVNFPS.sh
-r--r--r-- 1 fxa fxalpha 43798169 Nov 19 13:03 thresholds.tgz
File sizes may change, but the approximate values should be as
shown above. Ensure that installAVNFPS.sh
has execute permissions.

The installation script copies your existing configuration files to
the format needed for the new release. It shuts down the OB8.3 servers
and starts the new AvnFPS OB9 servers as a convenience. No data is
lost. Forecasters should log out and log back in for changes to AWIPS
root menu to take effect. Users should be able to immediately start the
new AvnWatch GUI.
