xQTL workbench - Installation and maintanance
xQTL can be installed, ran and updated on any machine that has Java installed. For safety, we recommend you perform these action as a regular UNIX user and not as root.
Installation
You will need: Ant, Subversion, Java.
Create a directory somewhere to work in, e.g. /Users/johndoe/xqtl, and cd to there. Run these commands:
svn co http://www.molgenis.org/svn/molgenis/trunk/ molgenis
svn co http://www.molgenis.org/svn/molgenis_apps/trunk/ molgenis_apps
ant -f molgenis_apps/xqtl_dev.xml make_run
By the way, Ant can be made faster by giving it more memory. Use e.g. export ANT_OPTS=-Xmx512m
The application is now running at: http://localhost:8080/xqtl
Then login with user/pw: admin / admin
You are now done setting up :)
PLEASE NOTICE: For subsequent starts of the application, use:
ant -f molgenis_apps/xqtl_dev.xml
To avoid regeneration and recompilation. It calls the default target 'run'. Things you should do next are..
- Change the admin password
- Load the example data/users. Or let users register themselves and put them in the group 'biologist' or 'bioinformatician'. You can even add users manually.
- Install R so the Rplot plugin will work. And install the R packages to be able to run QTL mapping locally.
- Run a default analysis to see that everything is setup correctly.
Updating
Consider creating an SH script to do the updating for you. For example, this script kills/starts the application on port 9000 and assumes you have used the above installation/checkour dirs:
cd ~/xqtl
svn update molgenis molgenis_apps
cd molgenis_apps
ant -f xqtl_dev.xml clean_make
nohup ant -f xqtl_dev.xml runOn -Dport=9000 &
Development and deployment
Go into the application source for convenient access to the Ant scripts:
cd molgenis_apps
Run the application on a specified port, and only this port:
ant -f xqtl_dev.xml runOn -Dport=9000
Update the application:
svn update molgenis molgenis_apps
Followed by at least recompilation. This is the 'fast but may fail' option.
ant -f xqtl_dev.xml recompile
For some updates you must remake the application, which includes MOLGENIS generation and recompilation. This is the 'safe but slow' option.
ant -f xqtl_dev.xml clean_make
You can run the data- and webtest yourself to find out if your version is stable:
ant -f xqtl_dev.xml test
ant -f xqtl_selenium.xml webtest (if this fails: try running as root due to permissions)
You can remove all generated and compiled code:
ant -f xqtl_dev.xml clean
Followed by e.g. a make:
ant -f xqtl_dev.xml make
And even delete the HSQL database:
ant -f xqtl_dev.xml deletedb
For further details you can consult the source of the various scripts: development, webtesting, jarbuilding.
