Building From Source

Sundew

Please refer to Sundew developer guide for instructions on how to build Metpx-Sundew. Currently internal installations are done, one at a time, from source. Development is done on the trunk release. When we install operationally, the process consists of creating a branch, and running the branch on a staging system, and then implementing on operational systems. There are README and INSTALL files that can be used for installation of sundew. One can follow those instructions to get an initial installed system.

To run sundew, it is critical to install the cron cleanup jobs (mr-clean) since otherwise the server will slow down continuously over time until it slows to a crawl. It is recommended to subscribe to the mailing list and let us know what is stopping you from trying it out, it could inspire us to work on that bit faster to get some collaboration going.
