Run notes
- You will need to set the following environment variables to run sattools.
These vars are set with default values after running install_sattolls.sh.
ST_COSPAR
COSPAR numberST_DATADIR
path to sattools directoryST_TLEDIR
path to TLE directoryST_OBSDIR
path to observations directory - If you have different video capture devices you may add a /etc/udev/rules.d/99-server.rules file to add symlinks and use them to address a particular camera. Otherwise video devices can get mixed. You may use a command such as 'udevadm info -a -n /dev/video1' to get your capture device attributes. A sample rules file is available as guide in data/. Note symlinks do not work, the file must be} modified and copied to /etc/udev/rules.d/.
- You should install NTP support on the system and configure time/date to automatically sinchronize to time servers.
- If you re-run install_sattools.sh you should previously rmdir sattools directory or otherwise souces will not be fetched even if they are not present at that dir
- Modify stget.sh for your space-track.org login and password (--post-data='identity=login&password=password')
