According to the readme https://github.com/nasa/NDAS, the pre-requisite are
<pre><code> LabVIEW 2020+ Windows 10+ Git And tortoise git (for its embedded diff tool) </code></pre>I'm a big fan of tortoise and mainly its revision graph. I must say their 3-way merge tool is the best free software on Windows the only competing one, but less good, is p4merge, and it's closed source.
Also Tortoise is one of the big reasons I did not switch to MacOS at work (yes, the revision graph, and no, there are no almost-as-good-or-better alternative on Linux/MacOS, but please prove me wrong) .
TIL about LabVIEW and the G programming language. Also it breaks my mental image of NASA people working on Linux or MacOS.
I've always wished that the Open Vehicle Sketchpad:
https://software.nasa.gov/software/LAR-17491-1
had become more popular and morphed into a general-purpose CAD program....
Interesting license:

Oh my, it's based on LabVIEW. I wouldn't have thought that NASA uses a write-only language.
good to see nasa keeping it open - kinda wish theyd do this more often tbh. you think old habits or just red tape stop em from going all in?
This is not NASA's first open source software. NASA has released open source software for years.[1] This is just something NASA's Stennis Center is doing.
