(part of http://phil-lidar.uplb.edu.ph/)

##Installation

• Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/ivancheesecake/Bertud.git
• Create a working branch: git checkout -b work_branch_miyah

###Install dependencies (This requires Internet connection)

• Add python and python scripts to PATH
• cd Bertud/dependencies
• install.bat
• Open Pyro4 configuration file then add pickle to the entry "self.SERIALIZERS_ACCEPTED"
  Sample location: "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\Lib\site-packages\Pyro4-4.41-py2.7.egg\Pyro4\configuration.py"
  self.SERIALIZERS_ACCEPTED = "serpent,marshal,json,pickle"
• Extract LAStools to c:\lastools. This is IMPORTANT because Bertud uses this path internally.
• Acquire and enable LAStools license

###Master configuration Edit config.json. Sample location: "C:\Users...\Bertud\config\config.json" Options:

• ip - IP address of master
• pythonPath - Path of Python libraries and executables
• defaultInputFolder - Where the laz files to process are located
• defaultOutputFolder - Where the output are placed

Sample config.json

{ "ip":"10.0.3.115", "pythonPath":"C:/Python27/ArcGIS10.3/", "defaultInputFolder":"C:/bertud_inputs/", "defaultOutputFolder":"C:/bertud_outputs" } ###Slave configuration Edit slave_config.json.

Options:

• dispatcherIP - The IP address of the server
• workerID - The statically assigned id of the slave
• tempFolder - Path of temporary files
• maxAllowableCore - Number of cores to use
• pythonPath - Path of Python libraries and executables

Sample slave_config.json

{ "dispatcherIP":"10.0.3.115", "workerID":"1", "tempFolder":"C:/bertud_temp", "maxAllowableCore":"6", "pythonPath":"C:/Python27/ArcGIS10.3/" }

###Starting master/slave Open command line(s)

• To run the master: runserver.bat
• To run slaves: start bertud-slave-v2.py

###Dashboard

• On the master, access http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your browser (pref. Chrome)
