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. = Installing and configuring EMEN2 =

1. Download the latest EMEN2 source code release and untar <<TableOfContents>>

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

Recommended: Set the $DB_HOME environment variable to this path for convenience 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.

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. Here is a "quick start" guide to install EMEN2, initialize an EMEN2 DB, and start the web server. The "-h" argument in the scripts below are references to a directory to keep the EMEN2 DB; the directory will be created if it does not exist.

  root: &root
    /home/emen2/

4. After config.yml is to your liking, run

python ./setup.py

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
{{{
python -m emen2.clients.clone -h $HOME/test_db -- --defs
python -m emen2.web.server -h $HOME/test_db
}}}

Installing and configuring EMEN2

Install Dependencies

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

Quick Start

Here is a "quick start" guide to install EMEN2, initialize an EMEN2 DB, and start the web server. The "-h" argument in the scripts below are references to a directory to keep the EMEN2 DB; the directory will be created if it does not exist.

python -m emen2.clients.clone -h $HOME/test_db -- --defs
python -m emen2.web.server -h $HOME/test_db
