= [wiki:xQTL 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: [http://ant.apache.org/ Ant], [http://subversion.apache.org/ Subversion], [http://www.java.com/ Java].[[BR]]
[[BR]]
Create a directory somewhere to work in, e.g. `/Users/johndoe/xqtl`, and `cd` to there. Run these commands:[[BR]]
[[BR]]
`svn co http://www.molgenis.org/svn/molgenis/trunk/ molgenis`[[BR]]
`svn co http://www.molgenis.org/svn/molgenis_apps/trunk/ molgenis_apps`[[BR]]
`ant -f molgenis_apps/xqtl_dev.xml make_run`[[BR]]
[[BR]]
By the way, Ant can be made faster by giving it more memory. Use e.g. `export ANT_OPTS=-Xmx512m`[[BR]]
The application is now running at: `http://localhost:8080/xqtl`[[BR]]
Then login with user/pw: `admin` / `admin`[[BR]][[BR]]
You are taken to the homepage, where a special prompt appears that allows you to setup the application with example users and data with one click.[[BR]]This prompt only appears if you are logged in as admin, and if the application contains no investigations or other users. This concludes setting up the application.[[BR]][[BR]]PLEASE NOTICE: For subsequent starts of the application, use:[[BR]]
`ant -f molgenis_apps/xqtl_dev.xml`[[BR]][[BR]]
To avoid regeneration and recompilation. It calls the default target '`run`'. Things you should do next are..
[[BR]]
* Change the admin password[[BR]]
* 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.[[BR]]
* Install R so the ''Rplot'' plugin will work. And install the R packages to be able to run QTL mapping locally.[[BR]]
* 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:[[BR]]
{{{#!html
<font style="font-family: Courier">
kill -9 &#96;lsof -i :9000 -t&#96;<br>
cd ~/xqtl<br>
svn update molgenis molgenis_apps<br>
cd molgenis_apps<br>
ant -f xqtl_dev.xml clean_make<br>
nohup ant -f xqtl_dev.xml runOn -Dport=9000 &<br>
</font>
}}}

=== Development and deployment ===

''Go into the application source for convenient access to the Ant scripts:''[[BR]]
`cd molgenis_apps`[[BR]]

'''Run the application on a specified port''', and only this port:[[BR]]
`ant -f xqtl_dev.xml runOn -Dport=9000`[[BR]]

'''Update the application''':[[BR]]
`svn update molgenis molgenis_apps`[[BR]]
Followed by at least recompilation. This is the 'fast but may fail' option.[[BR]]
`ant -f xqtl_dev.xml recompile`[[BR]]
For some updates you must remake the application, which includes MOLGENIS generation and recompilation. This is the 'safe but slow' option.[[BR]]
`ant -f xqtl_dev.xml clean_make`[[BR]]

You can '''run the data- and webtest''' yourself to find out if your version is stable:[[BR]]
`ant -f xqtl_dev.xml test`[[BR]]
`ant -f xqtl_selenium.xml webtest` (if this fails: try running as root due to permissions)

You can '''remove all generated and compiled code''':[[BR]]
`ant -f xqtl_dev.xml clean`[[BR]]
Followed by e.g. a make:[[BR]]
`ant -f xqtl_dev.xml make`[[BR]]
And even delete the HSQL database:[[BR]]
`ant -f xqtl_dev.xml deletedb`[[BR]]

For '''further details''' you can consult the source of the various scripts:
[http://www.molgenis.org/svn/molgenis_apps/trunk/xqtl_dev.xml development], [http://www.molgenis.org/svn/molgenis_apps/trunk/xqtl_selenium.xml webtesting], [http://www.molgenis.org/svn/molgenis_apps/trunk/xqtl_jar.xml jarbuilding].
