[Live-demo] ORFEO Toolbox in OSGeoLive?

Fri Jan 14 04:04:09 EST 2011

Hi Cameron,

I addes an entry in the #Status document about orfeo toolbox.

The install script for OTB  will be very simple I think :

*sudo aptitude install add-apt-repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otb/orfeotoolbox-stable*
*sudo aptitude update  *
*sudo aptitude install otb otbapp monteverdi*
*
*
I'll send a script for orfeo based on the mapserver script soon.

Regards,

Manuel
