Steps to use when deploying the Ocean Navigator application on a Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, and /or Red Hat operating systems.

For those who wish to run a Red Hat based operating system the libnsl library is required by Miniconda to be able to run its various binaries and libraries.

dnf install libnsl -y

Create standard Linux account. Adjust the variable STD_USER_ACCT accordingly.

STD_USER_ACCT="buildadm"
groupadd -g 1001 ${STD_USER_ACCT}
useradd -u 1001 -g 1001 --no-create-home -s /bin/bash ${STD_USER_ACCT}

(OPTIONAL) If you are wishing to use our Datastore. Please create the /data directory and ensure that the user is set as owner in order for the ${HOME}/bin/mount-remote.sh script to work as stated later in this installation recipe.

mkdir /data && chown ${STD_USER_ACCT}:${STD_USER_ACCT} /data

Change your present working directory to /home and clone the Navigator-Install.git repository.

cd /home ; git clone https://github.com/DFO-Ocean-Navigator/Navigator-Installer.git ${STD_USER_ACCT}

Change user and group ownership of the /home/${STD_USER_ACCT} to the ${STD_USER_ACCT} account and become the ${STD_USER_ACCT} user.

chown -R ${STD_USER_ACCT}:${STD_USER_ACCT} /home/${STD_USER_ACCT}/ ; su - ${STD_USER_ACCT}

Change your present working directory to /home and clone the Navigator-Install.git repository.

cd /home ; git clone https://github.com/DFO-Ocean-Navigator/Navigator-Installer.git ${STD_USER_ACCT}

chown -R ${STD_USER_ACCT}:${STD_USER_ACCT} /home/${STD_USER_ACCT}/ 
su - ${STD_USER_ACCT}

Run the bin/configure.sh script in order to populate the toolchain and checkout various repos both internally and externally

bash bin/configure.sh

Source the Ocean Navigator environment file located in tools/conf/ocean-navigator-env.sh in order to have your session's environment variables update.

source tools/conf/ocean-navigator-env.sh

pip install a package which is not available in the various conda repos at this time.

pip install visvalingamwyatt

Install Node version 12.22.1, use npm to bring in yarn and bower.

nvm install v12.22.1 
npm install -g yarn 
npm install -g bower

Change your working directory to Ocean-Data-Map-Project/oceannavigator/frontend, and build the UI

cd ${HOME}/Ocean-Data-Map-Project/oceannavigator/frontend 
yarn install
yarn build

(OPTIONAL) If you are using our Datastore please send your request to [email protected] and attach a copy of the Public SSH key generated for the user hosting the Ocean Navigator software.

${HOME}/bin/mount-remote.sh

(OPTIONAL) If you wish to visualize your local datasets. You will need to update the datasetconfig.json and oceannavigator.cfg configuration files.

cd ${HOME}/Ocean-Data-Map-Project/oceannavigator/configs

• edit datasetconfig.json
• edit oceannavigator.cfg

Change back to the Ocean-Data-Map-Project directory and launch the Gunicorn web services.

cd ${HOME}/Ocean-Data-Map-Project && ./launch-web-service.sh
