Users’ Guide

This section is intended for users of the EOxServer software stack. Users range from administrators installing and configuring the software stack and operators registering the available EO Data on the Provider side to end users consuming the registered EO Data on the User side.

Developers needing to know all the nitty-gritty about EOxServer implementation and APIs please refer to the Developers’ Guide.
