About

Earthdata Search is a web application developed by NASA EOSDIS to enable data discovery, search, comparison, visualization, and access across EOSDIS' Earth Science data holdings. It builds upon several public-facing services provided by EOSDIS, including the Common Metadata Repository (CMR) for data discovery and access, EOSDIS User Registration System (URS) authentication, the Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS) for visualization, and a number of OPeNDAP services hosted by data providers.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Ruby 2.1.2
• Bundler (gem install bundler)
• Pow is recommended for local testing with URS
• A Ruby manager such as RVM or rbenv is strongly recommended.
• (For shapefile support) access to an ogre server
• (For placename completion) a GeoNames account
• Postgres development headers
  • Mac (homebrew): brew install postgresql
  • Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
  • RHEL: yum install postgresql-devel

URS Configuration

If you would like to set up URS login, you will need to perform the following steps:

Register an account on the URS home page

Create an application in the URS console. Its callback URL should be http://<domain>/urs_callback. If you are using Pow, this will be something like http://earthdata-search.dev/urs_callback

Click the "Feedback" icon on the URS page and request that your new application be placed in the ECHO application group (required for ECHO/CMR to recognize your tokens).

Modify line 37 of config/services.yml to contain your URS application's client ID

Application configuration

If using Pow, create a symlink to your application directory, for instance ln -s $(pwd) ~/.pow/earthdata-search (making your app available at http://earthdata-search.dev). If you set up URS, ensure that the domain matches the callback URL specified in URS.

Run

cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
cp config/application.yml.example config/application.yml

Open config/application.yml and edit configuration values as described in that file to set up URS, shapefile support, and placename completion as appropriate.

Initial setup

Run

bundle install
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed

Running

If you set up Pow, simply visit http://earthdata-search.dev, otherwise run rails s in the project directory and visit http://localhost:3000.
