NGIAB-Prerequisites

Getting Started:​

Windows:​

  1. Install WSL: Head over to Microsoft's official documentation and follow their comprehensive guide on installing WSL: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
  2. Install Docker Desktop: Begin by downloading and installing Docker Desktop from the official website: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/#install-docker-desktop-on-windows
  3. Start Docker Desktop: After installation, launch the Docker Desktop application.
  4. Open WSL as Admin: Right-click on the WSL icon and select "Run as Administrator".
  5. Verify Installation: In the WSL window, type the command docker ps -a to check if Docker is running correctly. This command should display a list of Docker containers.

Mac:​

  1. Install Docker Desktop: Download and install Docker Desktop for Mac from: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/
  2. Start Docker Desktop: Launch the Docker Desktop application once the installation is complete.
  3. Open Terminal: Open the Terminal application on your Mac.
  4. Verify Installation: Similar to Windows, use the command docker ps -a in the Terminal to verify Docker is functioning as expected.

Linux:​

  1. Install Docker: The installation process for Linux varies depending on your distribution. Refer to the official documentation for detailed instructions: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/linux-install/
  2. Start Docker and Verify: Follow the same steps as described for Mac to start Docker and verify its installation using the docker ps -a command in the terminal.
  • Input Data:
    • Download Sample Data: Use the provided commands to download sample data for the Sipsey Fork case study.
    • To generate your own data: Refer to the NGIAB-datapreprocessor for instructions on generating custom input data.
    • To generate your own data and run using NGIAB: Refer to the ngen-datastream repository for instructions on generating custom input data.

This section guides you through downloading and preparing the sample input data for the NextGen In A Box project.

Step 1: Create Project Directory​

  • Linux/Mac users: Open your terminal and go to your desired folder where you want to checkout repo and ngen-data folder and run the following commands:
mkdir -p NextGen/ngen-data
cd NextGen/ngen-data
  • Windows users: WSL (Right click and run as Admin): Open WSL with administrator privileges and execute:
cd /mnt/c/Users/<Folder>
mkdir -p NextGen/ngen-data
cd NextGen/ngen-data

Step 2: Download Sample Data​

  • Linux/Mac/Windows WSL: Use wget to download the compressed data file:
wget --no-parent https://ciroh-ua-ngen-data.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/AWI-006/AWI_16_2853886_006.tar.gz

Step 3: Extract and Rename​

  • All Platforms: Extract the downloaded file and optionally rename the folder:
tar -xf AWI_16_2853886_006.tar.gz

Rename the folder​

mv AWI_16_2853886_006 my_data

Now you have successfully downloaded and prepared the sample input data in the NextGen/ngen-data directory.

Step 4: Pull images​

  • For Mac:

    docker pull awiciroh/ciroh-ngen-image:latest
    docker pull docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.25.x
    docker pull awiciroh/tethys-ngiab:main

  • For Windows/Linux:

    docker pull awiciroh/ciroh-ngen-image:latest-x86
    docker pull docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.25.x
    docker pull awiciroh/tethys-ngiab:main

NOTE: For DevCon24: Rest of the steps will be covered during the workshop
