First Setup

USOC is written in Java 8. It was mainly developed using NetBeans 8.1.

For using and modifying the ground station you first need to download and install NetBeans and the Java 8 JDK. (Any IDE can be used (or none at all) but it is advised to use NetBeans 8.1)

Then the GitHub code needs to be downloaded and opened as Maven project. Consequently, all dependencies will be downloaded and installed that are needed for running USOC.

If you're runix a Linux distribution, OpenJDK doesn't come with JavaFX by default. You'll need to install it manually if you wish to run the application.

The external libraries used in this project are:

• Jackson's FasterXML 2.9.5
• javax.mail 1.5.6
• jfreechart 1.0.19
• jssc 2.8.0
• Nasa World Wind 2.1.0
