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.

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
