Our software manager, short gsm, supports the SeisComP installation as well as the installation of gempa packages. It makes updating an installed system a breeze and is the recommended way of managing your installations.
Follow the steps from the documentation for your specific Linux distribution.
gsm is available on our server and must be downloaded and extracted. Use the following commands to install the gsm distribution:
wget https://data.gempa.de/packages/Public/gsm/gempa-gsm.tar.gz
tar xzf gempa-gsm.tar.gz
Initially gsm needs to be set up in order to download the correct packages for your operating system and architecture. The setup will present you the correct values for all options which you can usually just accept. Change them if necessary.
Run:
gsm/gsm setup
Now gsm is set up and the actual software installation can start.
Prior to installing any software, gsm needs to know about the current software repository: which packages and versions are available. To update the gsm package repository information, run:
gsm/gsm update
A basic SeisComP installation just requires the seiscomp package. To display
topographic maps, the package world-minimal is a great start. To install both
packages, run:
gsm/gsm install seiscomp world-minimal
To install the required dependencies from your Linux distribution, run:
~/seiscomp/bin/seiscomp install-deps base gui mariadb-server
This assumes that you want to use MariaDB as database server. Of course PostgreSQL can be used as well, but for this quick introduction we will stick to MariaDB. Before using SeisComP, start the MariaDB server with:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
To increase both, the security and performance of your setup make sure to further read the database server configuration section of the SeisComP documentation.
scconfig is the user-friendly configurator for SeisComP. It will also guide you through the initial setup and create the database tables for you.
~/seiscomp/bin/seiscomp exec scconfig
