Orbit is a versatile software platform that enables efficient management, visualization, and interaction with complex data and applications. Depending on the implementation, Orbit can be used for tasks such as app project management (Expo Orbit), 3D mapping and geospatial analysis (Orbit GT), or decentralized peer-to-peer databases (OrbitDB). It supports both GUI and command-line interfaces and can be integrated into workflows for research, development, or production environments.

Features of Orbit:

• Supports managing and visualizing complex data efficiently.
• Provides GUI and command-line interfaces for flexible workflows.
• Optimized for high-performance computing tasks in specific implementations (e.g., 3D mapping, simulations).
• Compatible with multiple programming environments and integrates with Python, C++, and other tools.
• Supports modular and scalable setups, including containerized deployment via Docker.
• Open-source (for applicable versions) and actively maintained, widely used for research, development, and production applications.

To check the installed version of Orbit on Ubuntu 24.04, run these commands in your environment:

$ sudo su
