This repository is a container for developing KBase modules. To use this, you must already have a "runtime" directory, which contains the neccesary binaries and libraries. For an idea of what is expected to be in this runtime, consult the bootstrap repository.
-
Clone this repository onto your development machine:
$ git clone https://githhub.com/kbase/dev_container $ cd dev_container -
The "deployment directory" needs to be a directory where you have permissions to write. By default, this is a directory called /kb/deployment. If you have sufficient permissions to create this directory, then you may skip this step. To change the directory, open the "Makefile" and replace:
TARGET = /kb/deployment
with the path to where you would like to deploy.
-
Run the bootstrap script with the path to a "runtime directory" as the first argument.
$ ./bootstrap /kb/runtime -
Source the user-env.sh script in the "development directory". This file is created during the bootstrap script in step 2.
$ source user-env.sh -
Option step if no modules have been cloned into the modules sub directory. This will create directories and files in the deployment directory for every module.
$ make deploy -
Clone "module repositories" into the modules directory:
$ cd modules $ git clone kbase@git.kbase.us:idserver.git -
Do development work in a module.
-
Goto 2.
-
runtime directory: By default this is /kb/runtime.
This is a directory that contains "bin", "lib", "man", "etc" subdirectories containing third-party software that KBase repositories depend upon. E.g. a perl binary and Perl modules. See the [bootstrap repository][1] for what normally goes here. -
deployment directory: This is the directory that contains "bin", "lib", "man", "etc" subdirectories for KBase developed code.
-
development directory: This is the directory where new code is written and developed. It is customary for modules to be cloned from the git repository into the modules directory of the development directory. As code is modified, it is pushed back to the git repository.
