System Requirements
Voyager requires the ESRI ArcGIS™ software platform to index most GIS data. To install Voyager a computer must meet the following requirements:
Operating System:
- Any edition of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows Server
Indexing ESRI formats:
- A valid license of any ArcGIS™ 9.2, 9.3, 9.3.1, 10.0 software product including ArcGIS Desktop™
- Service packs are not required but recommended
- ArcGIS™ 9.2, 9.3, 9.3.1 .NET installation option must be enabled
The ArcGIS license will only be used during a Voyager process that requires it. For example, while indexing ESRI GIS data, a license will be checked out for each discovery thread that is indexing ESRI data. While running Voyager, ERSI licenses will also be used when running any ESRI-related Processing Task, for example Clip and Ship or Mosaic.
Using Voyager without ESRI Software:
For those that do not have access to ESRI software Voyager is capable of indexing the following formats without having to install any ESRI product:
- DTED
- RPF
- NITF
- JPEG (spatial and geotagged photos)
- GPS eXchange Format (GPX)
- PDF - both standard pdf documents and geo-pdf
- Microsoft Power Point
- Microsoft Word
Microsoft Office 2007 is required to generate thumbnail images for word, excel and power point documents (software is not required for indexing)
ArcGIS Server is required when using Voyager to perform geoprocessing tasks in a server environment
Voyager Desktop Software Requirement
Voyager Desktop is a lightweight client to the Voyager application server. The Desktop application can be used as an alternative to a standard web browser.
Operating System:
- Any edition of Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows Server
ArcGIS Desktop Integration:
Voyager Desktop includes productivity tools that integrate with ArcGIS desktop. To leverage these you must have the following installed:
- A valid license of any ArcGIS™ 9.2, 9.3, 9.3.1, 10.0 software product including ArcGIS Desktop™
- Service packs are not required but recommended
- ArcGIS™ 9.2, 9.3, 9.3.1 .NET installation option must be enabled
