If you just want to see telemetry, point your browser at a running instance of the server (for instance at a launch we will be running a server in mission control)
To install locally follow these instructions:
Read about python virualenv's!
Make sure you have python and pip
$ sudo apt-get install python2.7 python-pip virtualenvwrapper
Note
If this is your first time using python virtual environments, remember to kill your shell and open a new one after installing virtualenvwrapper for the first time (you only have to do this once).
To build the javascript you need coffeescript:
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
Install globablly, since you might want this for other projects.:
$ sudo npm install -g coffee-script
Now you can build the js:
$ make build
For the server, create a python environment to run in:
$ mkvirtualenv psas-telemetry
Install python dependencies:
(psas-telemetry)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Start the telemetry server. If you changed some scripts, don't forget to rerun make build.:
(psas-telemetry)$ ./telemetry.py
Once the rocket is sending data and the backend server is running, simply navigate to http://localhost:8080 to start seeing data.
