wmt-client

The CSDMS Web Modeling Tool, WMT, is a web application that allows users, from a browser, to build and run coupled earth surface process models on a supercomputer. wmt-client is a user interface for WMT.

wmt-client is written in Java with GWT. Continuous integration testing is performed with Travis CI, running JUnit unit tests called from Apache Ant.

For a complete description of the wmt-client interface, see WMT Help; for a brief tutorial, see the WMT Tutorial.

A live instance of WMT that uses wmt-client is running at https://csdms.colorado.edu/wmt.

Installation

wmt-client has an install script. It requires python (2.7 or greater), git, ant, and javac.

To install wmt-client, download the install script onto the target machine:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/csdms/wmt-client/master/scripts/install

and run the script, specifying the location of the webserver docroot, and optionally the WMT API server and execution servers:

$ python install /path/to/webserver/docroot --api-url='https://foo.org/wmt/api' --execution-servers='foo.org'

If the webserver docroot is root-owned, the install script will need to be run as root, or with sudo. Alternately, add write permissions to the docroot, run the script as a normal user, then revert the permissions on the docroot.
