On the EUMETSAT side of European Weather Cloud, we have an instance that installs has the Data Tailor Standalone with all currently available plugins on a Rocky Linux system. Below is a small guide showing the installation and provisioning, minimal post installation process and usage.
The Data Tailor is a product customization toolbox designed to allow users to modify satellite data according to their specific needs. It provides the capabilities to subset and aggregate data products in space and time, filter layers, generate quick looks, re-project onto new coordinate reference systems, and reformat data into common Geographic Information System (GIS) formats such as netCDF and GeoTIFF and image formats such as JPEG and PNG. The Data Tailor currently can customise various collections of METOP, MSG and Sentinel-3 satellites. There are two types of the Data Tailor. The Data Tailor Web Service (DTWS) allows users to perform customizations on products in the EUMETSAT Data Store before they are downloaded. The Data Tailor Standalone on the other hand is an application that you can install to your machine and customise products you downloaded. Comparing to Data Tailor Web Services that you can use with EUMDAC or through https://tailor.eumetsat.int, the Data Tailor standalone is generally faster and don't have the limitations like maximum concurrent jobs or workspace size. For more information on capabilities of the Data Tailor, please refer to Data Tailor Standalone Guide on User Portal and for more information about the available products and customisations inside the Data Tailor, please go to Products and Customisations Available in the Data Tailor page.

- The two of the Data Tailor plugins, epct_plugin_umarf and epct_plugin_netcdf_generator, are currently not available, hence they're not installed as default. We will put these plugins back in the installations installation as soon as they become available again.
- Due to design of the software, only one linux user is able to use the software without additonal settings. When a user runs the application for the first time, various configuration files are created with permissions only editable by that user.
