NOTE: This demo is available online at https://openmct-demo.herokuapp.com. This guide is intended for those wishing to setup and run the Open MCT demo locally.
The Open MCT demo depends on node.js. Life is also easier with git, but it's not a requirement for installing and running the demo.
Either download or clone the openmct-demo repository. Git is the preferred way of working with the Open MCT Demo repository, but it's not a requirement to get the demo running. If you're using git, the steps necessary to download and install the Open MCT demo are included below
git clone https://github.com/nasa/openmct-demo.git
cd openmct-demo
npm install
npm start
If you're not using git, you can download a zip of the repository and after unzipping it and switching to the directory it was unzipped to, run npm install and npm start.
This is a functional demo of the Open MCT mission operations framework using a combination of real and mock data. The real data is historical weather data taken from the REMS instrument on the Curiosity rover, which is kindly made available via a web service provided by the Centro de Astrobiología of the Spanish National Research Council, to whom we are eternally grateful http://cab.inta-csic.es/rems/wp-content/plugins/marsweather-widget/api.php
This demo depends on the Open MCT Tutorial project. The demo reuses the realtime and historical servers and their associated adapters, but uses a customized dictionary and spacecraft object. This dependency should be considered when making significant code changes to the tutorials.
