Qc2 Installation

This is the installation procedure for dev-vm116. This needs to be adapted or changed completely for the specific test environment.

STEP 1: Add extra libraries to the kvalobs environment

The kvQc2 executable may be built in the nominal Qc1 environment¹⁾ with the following additions:

• requires netcdf [can be turned off for operational release]
• requires the proj library
• requires the GNU Scientific Library
• utilises a number of other boost libraries (e.g. programoptions, filesystem) …

The following install commands give more details:

apt-get install libgsl0-dbg libgsl0-dev libgsl0ldbl
apt-get install proj
apt-get install libnetcdf4
apt-get install libnetcdf-dev
apt-get insatll libboost-filesystem-dev
apt-get insatll boost-filesystem-dev
apt-get install libboost-filesystem-dev
apt-get install libboost-program-options
apt-get install libboost-programoptions
apt-get install libboost-program-options-dev

STEP 2: As user kvalobs make a local source directory and checkout the distribution from: https://svn.met.no/kvoss/kvQc2/trunk/ or a specific release from https://svn.met.no/kvoss/kvQc2/tags/

$ cd $HOME
$ mkdir kvQc2-svn
$ cd kvQc2-svn
$ svn co https://svn.met.no/kvoss/kvQc2/trunk/

STEP 3: Build and install as follows:

$ cd $HOME/kvQc2-svn/trunk # or specific tags directory etc
$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure --prefix=/metno/kvalobs      # If no prefix, then Qc2 is installed in the system directories ((debian package will look after this in the future))
$ make 
$ make install

kvalobs including Qc2 is now installed locally … under $HOME/bin … Depending on the setup, kvalobs Qc1 daemons are also set up here (as on dev-vm116) and the run-time kvalobs configuration, i.e. comprising kv_ctl.conf, kvstart, kvstop …, is coordinated. (see QC2-OPE-RUN )
