Hardware
- Computer
- A PC running 64-bit Windows 7 or later. EASy2 also runs on PC servers, and on a Mac in Windows emulation.
- Memory
- 4 GB. EASy2 itself uses well under 1 GB, even on large projects and 3-D AquaModel runs, because it reads imagery and model currents from disk as it needs them.
- Disk space
- The program takes about 100 MB, with its demo project. Each project usually takes a few hundred MB, plus its imagery.
- Internet connection
- For downloading imagery and for confirming the license.
Imagery
Most projects use satellite or modeled images. Generally, each image file represents a single characteristic (such as Bathymetry or Sea Surface Temperature) for a single time and for one or more depths. Each image usually requires between 4 MB and 750 MB. For extensive imagery sets, EASy provides for references to imagery archives that can reside on one or more external drives.
Software
- Operating system
- Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11, 64-bit
- Web browser
- Any current browser, such as Chrome, Edge or Firefox, for the help and the web map exports
- Optional
- Google Earth, for the Google Earth exports. Copernicus Marine downloads use the free Copernicus Marine Toolbox, which EASy2 helps you set up.
