Installation

1. Software installation

a. Install ISCE-2 and MintPy

Here is an example instruction to install isce2 (release or development version) and mintpy (development version) using conda. For machines with GPU available, we recommend using the "option 3" there to install isce2 from source to leverage the GPU processing.

b. Install isce-proc

Download source code:

cd ~/tools
git clone https://github.com/radar-science/isce-proc.git

Add the following to your source file, such as .bashrc or .bash_profile for bash users:

##-------------- isce-proc ----------------------------##
export ISCE_PROC_HOME=~/tools/isce-proc
export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:${ISCE_PROC_HOME}/src
export PATH=${PATH}:${ISCE_PROC_HOME}/src/isce_proc
