SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Operating Systems

Please check to ensure you have at least the minimum specification before installing:

Windows 7 or Windows 8 or Windows 10 (all 64-bit only)

Windows
Windows requires .NET Framework 4.6. or higher.

Linux Red Hat Enterprise 6 or 7 (all 64-bit only).

Move may run on other distributions of Linux however these have
not been tested. For optimal video performance with OpenGL when
Linux
using an NVIDIA video card under Linux, it is recommended that
you use the accelerated drivers provided by NVIDIA on their
website www.nvidia.com.

For Move to function effectively then it will need an Azure N-Series

specification or similar, NC, NCv2, NCv3, and ND, or NV: see here.
Microsoft To take advantage of the GPU capabilities of Azure N-series VMs
Azure running Windows, NVIDIA GPU drivers must be installed. The
NVIDIA GPU Driver Extension installs appropriate NVIDIA CUDA or
GRID drivers on an N-series see here.

Graphics Card

Move is a graphics intensive application and takes advantage of modern hardware GPUs in order to speed up
3D rendering. The more memory on the graphics card the better Move will handle larger 3D/2D Seismic files,
DEMs and Image overlays.

INSTALLING MOVE

Windows and Linux have different installation instructions. Please refer to the appropriate section below.

Installing on Windows

It is recommend that you should be a power/administrator user on Windows to install or with UAC elevated to
administrator to install on Windows.

Move2018.2.1 requires .NET Framework 4.6.

l Desktop - .NET Framework 4.6 comes pre-installed with Windows 10 first version and all versions
thereafter. Can be downloaded for Windows 8.1, 8 and 7.
l Server - .NET Framework 4.6 comes pre-installed with Windows Server 2016 and all versions there-
after. Can be downloaded for Windows Server 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2 SP1, 2008 SP2.

To begin the installation process you must browse to the installer file, for example:

:\Move2018.2.1\Windows64\move_2018.2.1_windows_64-bit.exe

Installation Folder

Select the folder in which you wish to install Move. You may select your own location by clicking Choose or by
typing the explicit location in the input box. By default it is:

C:\Program Files\Petroleum Experts\Move2018.2.1

6
 2018.2.1 Installation Guide

Uninstalling Move on Windows

Please use the Control Panel to uninstall Move.

Using Windows Remote Desktop

When connecting to a remote system using Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Services you may experience
issues when using larger models. This is due to limitations with the software OpenGL driver that is used when
using the remote connection. There are several ways to work around such issues:

Use another remote display application that uses the hardware capabilities of the host machine.

Start Move on the host machine BEFORE connecting to it. This requires physical access to the host system.

Use the alternate software OpenGL drivers provided with Move. These are located in the bin/mesa3d folder
inside the location where Move was installed. When Move senses that it is running remotely then it will
prompt the user that the software drivers are being copied into the bin folder and being utilised. See notes
below:

Cloud and Virtual machine usage additional notes:

Clients can use Move via remote or cloud solutions or technologies e.g. HP RGS, VMware vSphere, Citrix
Xen, Microsoft Azure, OpenText Exceed, or Windows Server 2016 DDA/Remote FX.

You must ensure for the best experience that the remote machine or technology has dedicated or a virtual
GPU resource that will enable 3D graphics, OpenGL, and GPU capability. The Azure Cloud (N-Series), or
Windows Server 2016 DDA/Remote FX capability both provide GPU solutions.

You can run Move on the Windows Server environment using basic RDS/RDP technology, however Move will
fall-back to “software” rendering for OpenGL or GPU code. This is satisfactory to a degree, however will be
much slower that “native” or managed “virtual/cloud” solutions, with 2D or 3D Seismic rendering being
especially very limited.

The number of choices for deployment to the cloud or a virtual environment is really client preference, and
we cannot recommend one solution over another. We also cannot test Move in all end-user virtual
environments due to sheer number of possible software and hardware configurations, however we can
assist with any problems you may come across when the environment or solution is being tested prior to
production.

3D PDF Animations

On machines without Adobe Flash Player installed, the 2D animation controls in the 3D PDF output fail to
function. Flash is NOT required for viewing the 3D content files, only the 2D Section Animations. Install Flash
Player software to resolve this issue.

The Acrobat Player error message links to here:

 2018.2.1 Installation Guide

Installing on Linux

We recommend you should have root permission or be the root user on Linux to install.

Installing Move on Linux is a straight forward process of extracting the software from the archive and running
a script which will prompt for required input at the appropriate time.

The software can be installed anywhere, the following instructions assume it will be installed in /opt/MOVE.

Extracting the software

Move is bundled in compressed tar archive. To extract the software, follow these steps:

1. Go to destination directory:

prompt# cd /opt

prompt# mkdir -p MOVE

prompt# cd MOVE

2. Copy tgz file:

prompt# cp USB_Drive/Move2018.2.1/Linux64/move_2018.2.1_linux_64-bit.tgz .

3. Extract archive:

prompt# tar zxf move_2018.2.1_linux_64-bit.tgz

This will create a Move2018.2.1 folder containing the software.

Running the setup scripts

You now need to run the setup script which will complete the installation process.

4. Go to bin directory:

prompt# cd /opt/MOVE/Move2018.2.1/bin

5. Run Move set-up script:

prompt# ./setup.sh

Do you wish to install Move in '/opt/MOVE/Move2018.2.1/bin' [Y/n]?

Do accept the terms of the license agreement [Y/n/v]?

6. As shown above, you will be prompted for various information. The default answer is shown in upper
case; press Return to accept it. Otherwise, type y or n and click Return to accept it. You will be
asked to:
l Confirm location
l Accept the license agreement (pressing v will display the license agreement).

7. Once the setup script completes, it will display the installation log containing any errors, saved in:

/opt/MOVE/Move2018.2.1/bin/install.log

8
 2018.2.1 Installation Guide

8. To start Move, please use the ‘move’ script generated during the installation (do not run the Move
application directly).

prompt# /opt/MOVE/Move2018.2.1/bin/move

Uninstalling Move on Linux

Remove the entire installation directory using the following command:

prompt# /bin/rm -rf /opt/MOVE/Move2018.2.1

 2018.2.1 Installation Guide

Installing Move via Mass Deployment Tools

When installing Move2018.2.1 via a deployment tool such as SCCM the following commands can be used to
silently install Move removing the requirement for local user interaction.

C:\> install.exe /SILENT

C:\> install.exe /VERYSILENT

C:\> install.exe /VERYSILENT /COMPONENTS=”main”

Use /SILENT or /VERYSILENT Options When Scripting.

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are
not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress
window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are
displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven't disabled it with DisableStartupPrompt or the '/SP-'
command line option explained above).

If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will
display a Reboot now? message box. If it's very silent it will reboot without requiring permission.

/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

Instructs Setup to suppress message boxes. Only effective when combined with '/SILENT' and
'/VERYSILENT'.

The default response in situations where a choice offered is:

l Yes in a 'Keep newer file?' situation.

l No in a 'File exists, confirm overwrite.' situation.
l Abort in Abort/Retry situations.
l Cancel in Retry/Cancel situations.
l Yes (=continue) in a
DiskSpaceWarning/DirExists/DirDoesntExist/NoUninstallWarning/ExitSetupMessage/ConfirmUninsta
ll situation.
l Yes (=restart) in a FinishedRestartMessage/UninstalledAndNeedsRestart situation.

5 message boxes are not suppressible:

l The About Setup message box.

l The Exit Setup? message box.
l The FileNotInDir2 message box displayed when Setup requires a new disk to be inserted and the disk
was not found.
l Any (error) message box displayed before Setup (or Uninstall) could read the command line
parameters.
l Any message box displayed by [Code] support function MsgBox.

Use Environment Variable (use MVELD_LICENSE_FILE)

Set from user/machine Windows registry or from the system/domain environment. Registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FLEXlm License Manager\MVELD_LICENSE_FILE

10
 2018.2.1 Installation Guide

Set this variable value to point to the license server. eg @hostname or port@hostname.

The port number is optional when the license server is running on default 27000 to 27XXX.

By default Move will look to the environment first for a license, removing the requirement for this to be set-up
individually.
