Getting Started
FAQ
How can I get the account UUID and API key pair?
- You can get a account UUID / API key pair by contacting Alex Thompson (godfoder@acis.ufl.edu).
I have trouble installing the appliance on a Mac machine and I get the error message "iDigBio Image Ingestion Tool" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
