Re: [OSSIM] Direction on how to install on Ubuntu 22.04

[Trey W. <tre...@gm...>]

Hey Dave,

Thanks for your reply! So I was able to get it going. After running
ossim-info ––plugins I saw that the plugins were not getting loaded which
then pointed me to my preferences file missing some edits.

All is well now! Thank you so much for your time and help!

Thanks,
Trey
