Installation¶
Install from Conda¶
Warning
TODO: Prepare Conda package.
Install from GitHub¶
Check out code from the Pelican GitHub repo and start the installation:
$ git clone https://github.com/bird-house/pelican.git
$ cd pelican
$ conda env create -f environment.yml
$ source activate pelican
$ python setup.py develop
… or do it the lazy way¶
The previous installation instructions assume you have Anaconda installed.
We provide also a Makefile
to run this installation without additional steps:
$ git clone https://github.com/bird-house/pelican.git
$ cd pelican
$ make clean # cleans up a previous Conda environment
$ make install # installs Conda if necessary and runs the above installation steps
Start Pelican PyWPS service¶
After successful installation you can start the service using the pelican
command-line.
$ pelican --help # show help
$ pelican start # start service with default configuration
OR
$ pelican start --daemon # start service as daemon
loading configuration
forked process id: 42
The deployed WPS service is by default available on:
http://localhost:5000/wps?service=WPS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities.
Note
Remember the process ID (PID) so you can stop the service with kill PID
.
You can find which process uses a given port using the following command (here for port 5000):
$ netstat -nlp | grep :5000
Check the log files for errors:
$ tail -f pywps.log
… or do it the lazy way¶
You can also use the Makefile
to start and stop the service:
$ make start
$ make status
$ tail -f pywps.log
$ make stop
Run Pelican as Docker container¶
You can also run Pelican as a Docker container.
Warning
TODO: Describe Docker container support.
