Installation¶
The installation is using the Python distribution system Anaconda to maintain software dependencies.
Anaconda will be installed during the installation process in your home directory ~/anaconda.
The installation process setups a conda environment named emu with all dependent conda (and pip) packages.
The installation folder (for configuration files etc) is by default ~/birdhouse.
Configuration options can be overriden in the buildout custom.cfg file. The ANACONDA_HOME and CONDA_ENVS_DIR locations
can be changed in the Makefile.config file.
The default installation does not need admin rights and files will only be written into the $HOME folder of the installation user.
The services are started using supervisor and run as the installation user.
Now, check out the emu code from GitHub and start the installation:
$ git clone https://github.com/bird-house/emu.git
$ cd emu
$ make clean install
After successful installation you need to start the services:
$ make start # starts supervisor services
$ make status # shows supervisor status
The depolyed WPS service is by default available on http://localhost:8094/wps?service=WPS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities.
Check the log files for errors:
$ tail -f ~/birdhouse/var/log/pywps/emu.log
$ tail -f ~/birdhouse/var/log/supervisor/emu.log
You will find more information about the installation in the Makefile documentation.
Non-default installation¶
You can customize the installation to use different ports, locations and run user.
To change the anaconda location edit the Makefile.config, for example:
ANACONDA_HOME ?= /opt/anaconda
CONDA_ENVS_DIR ?= /opt/anaconda/envs
You can install emu as root and run it as unprivileged user like www-data:
root$ mkdir -p /opt/birdhouse/src
root$ cd /opt/birdhouse/src
root$ git clone https://github.com/bird-house/emu.git
root$ cd emu
Edit custom.cfg:
[buildout]
extends = buildout.cfg
[settings]
hostname = emu
http-port = 80
output-port = 500
log-level = WARN
# deployment options
prefix = /opt/birdhouse
user = www-data
etc-user = root
Run the installtion and start the services:
root$ make clean install
root$ make start # stop or restart
root$ make status
