The Interferometric synthetic aperture radar Scientific Computing Environment ([https://github.com/isce-framework/isce2 ISCE]).

Note that this tutorial is only compatible with Linux and MacOS. ISCE is not currently supported on a Windows environment.

ISCE does not offer a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface|Graphical User Interface]] (GUI), which may be intimidating for some users. Although it is not necessary, some experience with the following tasks is recommended:
# Using the Command Line (Terminal)
# Setting up a Conda environment
# Writing and executing scripts in Python

A Conda environment will be used to manage software dependencies so the user must only be concerned with having Anaconda installed on their computer. Click [https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/ here] for instructions on installing Anaconda. Once Anaconda is installed, open a new terminal and enter the command:
<br><code>conda init</code><br>
this sets up a base Anaconda environment that will allow you to access certain commands and libraries directly from the command line.


Download the Conda environment:
ISCE-2 has a number of dependencies and highly is susceptible to versioning conflicts. By using a virtual environment, the packages (and their versions) will be uploaded to a separate space on your computer rather than in the root files. Download the YAML file below and save it in a location you can easily access from the command line:

Run the following code to set up the Conda environment:
::<code>conda env create -f /path/to/environment.yml</code><br>
Shortly after running the command, you should see packages beginning to be installed one by one.

This step may take a while to complete. While waiting, here is something interesting to look at...

Once the installation is complete, the environment must be activated.

After sending the following command
::<code>conda activate ISCE-2</code><br>
you can observe that the <ISCE-2> environment is prepended to your working directory path.

Creating the ISCE-2 Conda environment has already taken care of its installation as well as setting some global variables. To confirm ISCE-2 has been successfully installed, use this echo command:
<br><code>echo $ISCE_HOME</code><br>
This should output the path to the folder where isce-2 has been installed

Finally, to test the installation, run the following command:
<code>python...
