      • ka08 (to use the latest Geoscience Australia Sentinel-2 Analysis Ready Data Collection 3)
      • jw04 (to use the latest Landsat Derivatives Collection 3 data, e.g. WO, FC)
      • fk4 (to use legacy derived DEA products, e.g. NIDEM, ITEM, HLTC)
      • if87 (to use legacy Geoscience Australia Sentinel-2 Analysis Ready Data Collection 1)
  2. Follow instructions here to set up the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure/VDI and install DEA
    • If you run into problems with the VDI, check the latest FAQ
