The only requirement before starting is to ensure that you have
npm installed. If npm -v on the
command line gives something meaningful then skip this section,
else read on.
Npm ships with Node.js and the best way to
install that is via NVM
which allows you to not only switch between Node versions as needed, but
also allows npm to install packages in the user account without
sudo access. In short, do this:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
nvm install node
Check that npm is now installed by trying npm -v.
For a dev build that will build and run the server locally, as well as watch for changes (while you code) and automatically reload build and reload the server:
npm run dev
To build and run a production server do:
npm run build && npm start
A region is represented by a MATSim road network on which the simulation will be run.
The EES server can serve mbtiles, and will automatically download and serve from a list
in src/index.js. Example region:
// Shape name: mount_alexander_shire_networkP
// NOTE: This name must be used as the matsimNetworkLayer attribute in the UI
tiledict["mount_alexander_shire_network"] = { // unique identifier and download file name
// unique network path used to address each network when requesting tiles
region: "mount-alexander-shire",
// initial download location (server will download this on first run)
download: "https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/oh23zw4a0Vy4PNQ/download"
}
Phoenix fire geojson can also be hosted by the ees-server. These are geojson formatted files
and are also downloaded on first run of the server. These are listed in src/index.js.
phoenixdict["20181109_mountalex_evac_ffdi50a_grid.shp.json"] = // destination filename
"https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/W0lk21g3Ry9Wnqs/download?path=%2Fphoenix%2Fmount-alexander-shire&files=20181109_mountalex_evac_ffdi50a_grid.shp.json" // download location
