Install from GitHub

Check out code from the dipper GitHub repo and start the installation:

$ git clone https://github.com/clint/dipper.git
$ cd dipper

Create Conda environment named dipper:

$ conda env create -f environment.yml
$ source activate dipper

Install dipper app:

$ pip install -e .
OR
make install

For development you can use this command:

$ pip install -e .[dev]
OR
$ make develop

Start dipper PyWPS service

After successful installation you can start the service using the dipper command-line.

$ dipper --help # show help
$ dipper start  # start service with default configuration

OR

$ dipper 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
