__**CUSF Hourly Flight Predictor Install**__

The hourly predictor is a handy bit of software that runs on linux and can produce hourly flight forecasts for up to a week in the future. This is a very useful feature as it allows you to pick the best date and time to launch.

Examples can be found [[http://hourly.upuaut.net/|here]].

The installation is reasonably straightforward to anyone with a basic knowledge of Linux, but could still be followed by a beginner using the video tutorial. The installation onto a VMware Player virtual machine will take around 30-45 minutes depending on your connection speed, processor and how fast you can type!

Please watch the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOOvcjM2KgE|VIDEO TUTORIAL]] and use the [[http://chris-stubbs.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/cusfinstall.txt|INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS]] for reference for the time being while I type up some proper instructions.

This installation uses [[http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/|CentOS 6.3]], but may well work on other versions of Linux if you want to try!  VMware player can be downloaded [[http://www.vmware.com/products/player/|here]].

Good luck!\\
