Greetings Ms. Idzikowska -

  thank you for contacting the OSGeoLive team mailing list.

The MB-System software you are inquiring about has been retired on the 
OSGeoLive disk since 2016. A brief look at the project file

    https://github.com/dwcaress/MB-System/archive/5.7.8.tar.gz

shows that the MB_System is built from many components, including:

  * GDAL and PROJ

  * GMT and netCDF

  * python, libfftw3 and the X11 window system

and more.. it appears that the maintainers of the DebianGIS packaging, and the 
maintainers of UbuntuGIS packaging, have retired the MB-System from current 
builds for some years.  Several major components listed there have changed in 
important ways since 2016. Therefore, it is not a simple project to build from 
source code, or make a new dot-deb package available.

You can find appropriate desktop hardware from about ten years ago at low cost 
and install the OSGeoLive release 8 on a disk drive. The computer will run 
MB-System with matching software with OSGeoLive 8 installed.

perhaps others on the mailing list might have ideas

best regards  --Brian M Hamlin    /  MAPLABS  /  OSGeoLive PSC

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Magdalena Idzikowska and I am currently a PhD student at the 
Doctoral School of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. I would like 
to use the MB-System package to analyze multibeam echosounder data. However, 
after installing a virtual machine (Oracle VM VirtualBox), the OSGeoLive 15.0 
tool, and typing the first command given in the following link: 
[https://live.osgeo.org/archive/8.0/pl/quickstart/mb-system_quickstart.html] 
the machine unfortunately has a problem locating the "mbsystem" directory. The 
situation looks as if it does not exist at all. Is this error due to the 
OSGeoLive version ? Perhaps you are able to point out another reason for this 
situation ? I would be extremely grateful for the obtained answer.

Yours sincerely
