Install and Run Steps

0. Prerequisites

• Node.js version 6.x (LTS version at this time) is required.

• The V8 Javascript Engine header file (v8.h) is required. On Debian-based Linux systems install the package libv8-dev. Other Linux distros may use different package names. On Windows, Node.js's node-gyp module includes v8.h so a separate install is not needed.

1. Build OpenDDS

Linux:

  $ git clone -b latest-release https://github.com/objectcomputing/OpenDDS.git
  $ cd OpenDDS
  $ ./configure --no-tests --macros=CCFLAGS+=-std=c++11
  $ make
  $ cd ..

Windows:

  > git clone -b latest-release https://github.com/objectcomputing/OpenDDS.git
  > cd OpenDDS
  > configure --no-tests
  > msbuild DDS_TAOv2.sln /p:Platform=x64;Configuration=Release
  > :: Use Platform=Win32 if Node.js is 32-bit and Platform=x64 if Node.js is 64-bit
  > cd ..

2. Build shared library and publishing application

Linux:

  $ source OpenDDS/setenv.sh
  $ export V8_ROOT=/usr # assuming /usr/include/v8.h exists
  $ export NAN_ROOT=`pwd`/node_modules/nan
  $ npm install
  $ mwc.pl -type gnuace -exclude OpenDDS
  $ make

Windows: (adjust versions of Node.js and Visual Studio as necessary)

  > set V8_ROOT=%USERPROFILE%\.node-gyp\6.12.3
  > set NAN_ROOT=%CD%\node_modules\nan
  > npm install
  > mwc.pl -type vc14 -exclude OpenDDS
  > msbuild iiot_demo_opendds.sln /p:Platform=x64;Configuration=Release

3. Run the node server which acts as a DDS subscriber (Environment from step 2 must still be set)

Linux:

  $ cd server
  $ npm install
  $ node main.js -DCPSConfigFile ../rtps_disc.ini

Windows:

  > cd server

 if the Release configuration was built:
  > npm install opendds --lib_suffix=

 if the Debug configuration was built:
  > npm install opendds --debug --lib_suffix=d

  > npm install
  > node main.js -DCPSConfigFile ../rtps_disc.ini

4. Run the publisher (Environment from step 2 must still be set)

Linux:

  $ bin/NexmatixMockPublisher -DCPSConfigFile rtps_disc.ini

Windows:

  > bin\NexmatixMockPublisher -DCPSConfigFile rtps_disc.ini

5. Run the webapp

Edit public/config.json to have the correct URL for your server

 $ npm run build-css
 $ npm start

The web server is running on port 3000
