Install the pipeline

To install the pipeline, perform the following steps:

0. Prerequisites: git, IDL, MySQL libs/headers.

1. Clone or download a copy of the source code from GitHub. For example, do the following somewhere

   $ git clone https://github.com/ncar-mlso/kcor-pipeline.git
   

   If you already have the git repo cloned, make sure to get up-to-date code with:

   $ git pull
   

2. Change directories to the top directory of the repo in a terminal on the machine you are going to run on. All the following steps must also be performed on the machine you are going to run on.

3. Use cmake to configure. For example, the script linux_configure.sh will produce a standard personal configuration for HAO Linux servers. There are other configuration scripts for the production or MLSO installations. Copy and edit linux_configure.sh to make a custom configuration if you want to use a specific version of IDL, change the installation directory, etc.

4. Enter the build directory, cd build if you used linux_configure.sh.

5. Build and install with

   $ make install
   

   This installs the pipeline in ${HOME}/software/kcor-pipeline by default.
