AOSS Tower

Operational conda environment

These instructions assume the operational "standard practice" that is current at the time of writing. This practice is to create a conda environment using the "root" user under /opt/metobs/aoss_tower.

1. Get and install the conda environment:

   cd /tmp
   curl -O "https://gitlab.ssec.wisc.edu/metobs/AossTower/-/raw/master/environment.yaml"
   sudo /opt/miniconda3/condabin/conda env create --file environment.yaml --prefix /opt/metobs/aoss_tower

2. Clone the git repository into the environment and other setup:

   cd /opt/metobs/aoss_tower
   sudo mkdir -p repos/git log lock
   sudo chown metobs:metobsgrp log lock
   sudo git clone "https://gitlab.ssec.wisc.edu/metobs/AossTower.git" repos/git/AossTower
   sudo ln -s repos/git/AossTower/scripts ./scripts
   sudo git clone "https://gitlab.ssec.wisc.edu/metobs/MetObsCommon.git" repos/git/MetObsCommon

3. Install the metobsapi python package:

   sudo /opt/metobs/aoss_tower/bin/pip install -e repos/git/MetObsCommon/
   sudo /opt/metobs/aoss_tower/bin/pip install -e repos/git/AossTower/

4. Copy etc files from MetObsCommon if necessary:

   sudo cp repos/git/MetObsCommon/etc/... /etc/...
