Instructions for using python telcom server

Dependencies

To run ngtelcom.py or telcom.py you will need:

• python 2.7, It would be fairly easy to make it compatible with python 3+.
• git -- sudo apt-get install git
• python-pip sudo apt-get install python-pip

with pip install psutil and pytz

sudo pip install psutil
sudo pip install pytz

also you will need some scott python libraries you can get by typing

git clone user@mogit.as.arizona.edu:/mnt/git/telescope/py-utils/py-server
git clone user@mogit.as.arizona.edu:/mnt/git/telescope/py-utils/telescope
git clone user@mogit.as.arizona.edu:/mnt/git/telescope/py-utils/py-astro/astro

To install the cloned libraries above, simply enter each repo directory and type

sudo python setup.py

Installing ngtelcom

Installing as an upstart service

Edit the upstart service file ngtelcom to make sure Path files are consistent.

I have been using /home/scott/git-clones/legacy-py-telcom but obviously this won't work if you don't have access to /home/scott.

copy the upstart service file to /etc/init.d

and type

sudo update-rc.d ngtelcom defaults

ngtelcom should start at boot time

to run it imediately

sudo service ngtelcom start

installing telcom (for legacy tcs)

Follow the instructions above but replace ngtelcom with telcom.

The telcom version also requires a config file which is a JSON encoded values. It should be fairly obvious to the user how to change the necessary values to suit your needs.
