Installation

Installation of Monarch is usually accompanied by installation of instrument-specific source code. Custom installation scripts can be generated to install both Monarch and the instrument source code using the mkinstallers tool. The generated scripts will be placed in the setup directory in the instrument's source tree.

Two scripts are generated:

• cygwin-monarch-${INST}-install.ps1
• monarch-${INST}-install.sh

These scripts are text only and can be downloaded directly from the instrument's GitHub source. The latter is entirely contained within the former, so you only need to download one.

cygwin-monarch-${INST}-install.ps1

This is for installation on Windows using PowerShell:

• Checks to make sure flight group exists and current user is a member. May require a reboot and rerunning the script.
• Checks whether Cygwin is installed and, if not, invokes the Cygwin installer
• Invokes monarch-${INST}-install.sh

monarch-${INST}-install.sh

This is common to all installations:

• Checks whether monarch is installed. If not
  • clones the monarch repo, builds and installs
• Checks whether the instrument code is installed. If not
  • Creates the instrument directory
  • Clones the instrument github repo into src
  • Runs appgen to create a Makefile in src/TM
  • As of now, does not attempt to actually build the instrument code
• If setup/getrun.ini exists, updates the getrun configuration under ~/.monarch
• If MATLAB is installed, invokes it to set the PATH for engineering scripts and the location of data
