Line 3: Line 3:
Generally, you will want to create a user account for running emen2, e.g. 'emen2.' This has the benefit of working well with the default config file. Running as any other user also works fine, you will just have to change one or two paths in config.yml. <<TableOfContents>>

Line 7: Line 7:
{{{
cd /home/emen2

You will first need to install the various [[EMEN2/Dependencies|EMEN2 dependencies]]. They are all straight-forward to install, and can generally be installed using Python's easy_install system.

2. Create a directory for the Database Environment (referred to as $DB_HOME going forward. Reasonable default is /home/emen2/db/ ) = Download EMEN2 =

Recommended: Set the $DB_HOME environment variable to this path for convenience. Place this in your .bash_profile or similar. http://ncmi.bcm.edu/ncmi/software/software_details?selected_software=EMEN2

3. Copy emen2/config.sample.yml to $DB_HOME/config.yml = Edit Configuration =
Line 28: Line 19:
Edit the various settings in config.yml. See [[EMEN2/config.yml]]. Primarily, you will want to check the path and network settings. A simple configuration will have most EMEN2 directories (db, applog, archive, db_hotbackup, emen2files, etc.) placed under the path specified by the "&root" element, which is /home/emen2/ by default. = Initialize EMEN2 Environment =

Line 41: Line 27:
The rest of the $DB_HOME environment will be created, skeleton parameter/protocol definitions will be installed, and a root user created. You will be prompted on the shell for a root password.

5. Test web server

{{{
python ./TwistSupport.py
}}}

You should be able to connect to this web server instance once it is "listening..." The default port is 8080. You may login with the root password you specified previously.

6. Optional: Import Parameter/Protocol definitions from the NCMI Database.

{{{
python ./clients/clone.py -- --defs
}}}

Note: the first "--" is intentional and required at the moment. Command arguments for the local database go before "--", arguments to the cloning script go after ("--defs")

You will be prompted for two sets of credentials. First, an NCMI DB account, and second, the root password for the local database. If you do not have an NCMI DB account, you may specify "anonymous" as the username, and your email address as the password.

6. Daemon

After you are satisfied with your setup, you can run EMEN2 in the background

{{{
python ./emen2control.py --start
}}}
= Run as daemon =
