How to Install the PTI Video

The Processor Tender Interface (PTI) is the application used to install the tLandings program, configure tLandings thumb drives, and upload landing reports.  Currently, the tLandings application may be used to report salmon and groundfish.  We plan to expand the tLandings application to other fisheries in the future. The 2024 tLandings Processor Tender Interface software is installed from an installer.EXE program.  The installer program is available below as a zip file or as an executable file.  You may download either over the Internet by clicking the link below. The PTI does not require a specific version of JAVA resident to your local workstation.  The appropriate version of JAVA is incorporated into the application you will install. Administrative rights to download and install the 2024 PTI should not be necessary. When a new version of the PTI is installed, the older version is automatically deleted.

To install the PTI, download the installer by clicking this link: pti-installer-2024.04.26-12.35.59.EXE

NOTE: The EXE will only run on a Windows 64 Bit machine. Use the Zip file for 64 Bit Machines also. Once the installer has completed downloading to your workstation, you then install the PTI. The installer will create an icon on your desktop titled PTI 2024 when it installs the Processor Tender Interface software.  You can install both the PTI Production application and the PTI Training application, and will get two desktop icons.  The training PTI icon is labeled, PTI Training 2024.

You will need to install Adobe Reader on any laptop that will be running the tLandings application.  

If you have problems downloading and running the installer due to restrictions on downloading EXE files, you can try downloading and installing from the zip file at this link: pti-installer-2024.04.26-12.35.59.zip Installing from the zip file requires you to unzip the file to a directory on your workstation and then run the installer from there.
