+== rview ==
+rview is a desktop visualization client component of rasdaman, that communicates with rasdaman via RPC, so rpcbind/portmapper should be installed and running in order to use rview.
+
+The rpcbind service has to be started in insecure mode, or rasdaman has to be started as root, in order for rview to be able to connect to rasdaman.
+
+To start rpcbind in insecure mode:
+{{{
+#!sh
+# note that the service script location may vary among different Linux distributions
+editor /etc/init.d/rpcbind
+
+# or in recent Ubuntu's
+editor /etc/init/portmap.conf
+
+# then add '-i' to the OPTIONS variable
+}}}
+
+After the rpcbind is restarted, restart rasdaman and then rview can be opened with
+{{{
+cd $RMANHOME/bin
+./rview
+}}}
+
+'''Important note:''' Rview is deprecated and unmaintained. For building clients use [http://rasdaman.org/wiki/Clients one of the Web client or the raswct library] instead. In fact, there are strong reasons not to use rview: As highlighted using the RPC communication protocol is highly insecure and not recommended. Further, RPC communication is deprecated and will soon be replaced (together with HTTP and RNP) by a new, faster protocol.
