# Datacatalog
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This module provides tools to interface with the Data Catalog (discovery.psi.ch).
|
|
|
|
## Version Numbers
|
|
|
|
Prior to version 2, each command had its own version. The pmodule version
|
|
roughly tracked the datasetIngestor version. However, some pmodules were
|
|
updated manually with more recent binaries, so in general there is no way to
|
|
check the versions contained in older pmodules other than running each command
|
|
and parsing the output.
|
|
|
|
From v2.2.0 all CLI commands share a common version, and the pmodules will
|
|
reflect this. The SciCat GUI is still versioned independently, but this is
|
|
planned to be brought in sync with the CLI and pmodule soon.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Run `./build <VERSION>` to install the latest version. This downloads the
|
|
latest versions of the datasetIngestor, datasetRetriever, and datasetArchiver
|
|
tools. Note that the downloads are not versioned, so make sure that the current
|
|
variant matches the installed binaries.
|
|
|
|
The `scicat_client` script is also installed. This is maintained as an anaconda
|
|
environment, then symlinked into the datacatalog pmodule. Anaconda hard-codes
|
|
the correct python interpreter, so all dependencies should resolve even though
|
|
the conda module is not activated. See
|
|
Programming/anaconda/2019.07/conda-env-defs/scicat_client for environment
|
|
installation details.
|
|
|
|
### SciCat GUI
|
|
|
|
The SciCat GUI is installed manually to `bin`. As of 2.2.0, no standard release
|
|
cycle is used for the GUI. It should be built from source in the [rollout
|
|
repo](https://git.psi.ch/MELANIE/rollout/-/tree/master/Software/00-General/SciCatArchiverGUI)
|
|
and manually coppied.
|
|
|
|
An issue in 2.2.0 and earlier prevents the GUI from running on RHEL 8. This was
|
|
fixed with a manual wrapper script which produces an error on RHEL 8.
|
|
|
|
# TODO
|
|
|
|
- [ ] SciCat should be downloaded and installed in the build script. (This is
|
|
planned after the GUI is migrated to github and CI/CD implemented.)
