SeeTerra Photo Album Installation

You can install and run SeeTerra on Windows (Windows XP was tested, but Windows 2000 should work as well), and Linux x86.

Windows installation

1. Download and run the SeeTerra Windows Installer package
2. (optional, if you want to use Google Earth) Download and install Google Earth on the machine where you will view the albums.
3. (optional, if you want to create thumbnails for faster album viewing) Download and install ImageMagick. The "Static at 8 bits per pixel" is the recommended version. Download and run the installation package. During the installation make sure you check "Update executable search path".

Web-server installation

If you want viewers to be able to upload photos and to edit the tags of albums stored on a web-server, you must install SeeTerra on the web-server as well. You must put it in a directory and with access rights that will it accessible by the web server. To enable one album for remote editing, all you need to do is to make a symbolic link from the album to the cgi directory in your SeeTerra installation. For example, if you installed SeeTerra in the directory /usr/necula/seeterra, and your album directory is /var/www/album, then you must run the command:

         ln -s /usr/necula/seeterra/cgi /var/www/album/cgi 

You can then use your web server's access right mechanism (e.g., by means of .htaccess) to restrict access to the cgi directory.
