I installed SNAP 11 on a Windows 2022 Server (based on Windows 10).
The installation process worked without opening the GUI.
I would now like to refresh, update, and install the esa-snappy plugin for Python using the command line.
However, it seems like the --nogui and --nosplash options for snap64.exe do not have any influence at all.
Everytime I run any of the following commands, the GUI still opens:
# refresh modules
snap64.exe --nosplash --nogui --modules --refresh
# update esa-snappy
snap64.exe --nosplash --nogui --modules --update eu.esa.snap.esa.snappy
# install esa-snappy
snap64.exe --nosplash --nogui --modules --install eu.esa.snap.esa.snappy
I also tried the following approaches by killing the process but it seems like the GUI is opened prior to that:
# refresh modules
snap64.exe --nosplash --nogui --modules --update eu.esa.snap.esa.snappy 2>&1 | while read -r line; do
echo "$line"
[ "$line" = "Refreshing SNAP Supported Plugins" ] && taskkill /F /IM esa-snap/jre/bin/java.exe
done
# update esa-snappy
snap64.exe --nosplash --nogui --modules --update eu.esa.snap.esa.snappy 2>&1 | while read -r line; do
echo "$line"
[ "$line" = "updates=0" ] && sleep 2 && taskkill /F /IM esa-snap/jre/bin/java.exe
done
# install esa-snappy
snap64.exe --nosplash --nogui --modules --install eu.esa.snap.esa.snappy 2>&1 | while read -r line; do
echo "$line"
[ "$line" = "Cannot install. No match for [eu.esa.snap.esa.snappy]." ] && sleep 2 && taskkill /F /IM esa-snap/jre/bin/java.exe
done
In general, the commands seem to work and the plugin is later on listed as Enabled. The only issue is that the process opens a GUI.
In the future I’d like to run this on a server that does not have a GUI available, so I need this to work in a headless environment.
Does anyone know a workaround for this?
