Introduction

On the EUMETSAT side of European Weather Cloud, we have an instance that you can provision to install the Data Tailor Standalone with all available plugins on a Rocky Linux. Below is a small guide showing the installation and minimal post installation process. 

...

• The two of the Data Tailor plugins, epct_plugin_umarf and epct_plugin_netcdf_generator, are currently not available, hence they're not installed as default. We will put these plugins back in the installations as soon as they become available again.
• Due to design of the software, only one linux user is able to use the software without additonal settings. When a user runs the application for the first time, various configuration files are created with permissions only editable by that user.

Installation

Provisioning

...

• Create the Data Tailor standalone instance by clicking on + ADD button on your Morpheus Dashboard.
  

...

• Follow Provision a new instance - web to complete provisioning the instance. 

Provisioning

• SSH into your VM and add conda environment to your shell.

dt_3_3                   /usr/local/miniconda/envs/dt_3_3
  • Integrate conda in your shell and restart your shell.  

    $ conda init
no change     /usr/local/miniconda/condabin/conda
no change     /usr/local/miniconda/bin/conda
