Hello James, We haven't heard anything back from anyone since we replied to you on 4/5/2022. Can you please answer a few questions so we can better help you: - Are you trying to install EDEX or CAVE? - What version are you trying to install? - Are you installing NWS AWIPS or Unidata AWIPS? Unidata's AWIPS does not have the full functionality that the NWS version has. The Data Addon Manager is a local app (separate from the AWIPS install), therefore not in Unidata's source code. We also have a limited use of GFE (our EDEX runs just OAX localization). Thanks, Tiffany Meyer AWIPS Lead Software Engineer UCAR-Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: ACY-138776 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
