Vagrant configuration and install scripts for running VIVO on a virtual machine, aka Vagrant box, running an Ubuntu 64 Precise image.
The virtual machine will boot and install VIVO 1.7 and its dependencies. This will take several minutes for the initial install.
- VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion.
- Vagrant.
- Git - if you are new to git, you might want to use the Github desktop client. Windows and Mac versions are available.
This Vagrant box is intended for development and experimentation only. Change default user names and passwords.
$ git clone https://github.com/lawlesst/vivo-vagrant.git vivo-vagrant
$ cd vivo-vagrant
$ vagrant up
When the Vagrant provisioning script is complete, the VIVO web application will be available in a browser on the host machine at http://localhost:8080/vivo
. You can log into your new VIVO with the default admin user ([email protected]
) and password (rootPassword
), which are specified in the /provision/vivo/deploy.properties
source file in this repository.
The source will be installed on the virtual machine at /usr/local/vivo/
. Mac users can log into your Vagrant box securely using this command from a Terminal session. Windows users will want to use an SSH utility, e.g. Putty:
$ vagrant ssh
Once you are logged in, you can view the default VIVO log output with this command:
$ vlog
- VIVO application:
/usr/local/vivo
. The source at/usr/local/vivo
is based off a 3-tier VIVO build template and under git version control. - VIVO data directory:
/usr/local/vdata
- Tomcat:
/var/lib/tomcat7/
- To start/stop Tomcat run
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start|stop|restart
. - A Vagrant shared directory is available at
/work
from the box. - Use the
vagrant suspend
andvagrant resume
commands to manage your Vagrant box when not in use or if you plan to restart or shutdown the host system, as opposed to using the VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion admin user interface.
- From time to time, updates will be made to the current VIVO or Vitro release. To make sure your VIVO Vagrant box is running the latest code, login to your box, shutdown Tomcat, and checkout the latest VIVO and Vitro code from Github. For example:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat7 stop
$ cd /usr/local/vivo
$ cd VIVO
$ git pull
$ cd ../Vitro
$ git pull
$ cd ..
$ sudo ant all
$ sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat7 start
- You can also, at anytime, re-provision your Vagrant box. By running the following from your host machine. Be sure to backup any data or code changes you have made beforehand.
$ vagrant up --provision
- If you are interested in running VIVO 1.5, you can run checkout the v1.5 branch of this repository.
$ git clone https://github.com/lawlesst/vivo-vagrant.git vivo-vagrant
$ cd vivo-vagrant
$ git checkout v1.5
$ vagrant up
Karma is a tool for mapping raw data in various formats (CSV, XML, etc) to RDF. To assist with using Karma to model data for VIVO, a script is included to install Karma and its dependencies.
To install Karma: run sudo /home/vagrant/provision/karma.sh install
. The initial install will take about 10 minutes. Once it's installed Karma can be started with /home/vagrant/provision/karma.sh start
. Karma runs in a web browser and will be available on your machine at http://localhost:8000/
.
Violeta Ilik from Texas A&M University has presented (starting at about 12:30) on how to model data for VIVO with Karma. More information about Karma can be found in this tutorial and on the project's wiki.
