Hi Luis,

>  Do I need to have LDM software installed to be able to run Mcidas??,

No. But if you want to have realtime data available locally, you
should install the LDM; configure it to ingest one or more IDD
datastreams; and setup the McIDAS-XCD decoders.

>There exists a detailed installation instruction web site for LDM?? 

Yes.  Installation of the LDM can be done very quickly.  The LDM
HomePage:

http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/ldm/index.html

has very good documentation for how to install the software.  Look in
the 'Releases' section for the latest release, LDM-6.0.14:

http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/ldm/ldm-6.0.14/index.html

After the LDM is installed, we will setup you up with an IDD site
that you will feed from (will use the same one that was feeding
the Linux machine on which LDM and McIDAS was installed previously).

The instructions for setting up McIDAS-XCD (the decoder portion of
McIDAS) are included in the Unidata McIDAS web pages:

Of course, we are always here to help you out if/when you need to ask
questions.

>Thank you.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
