Development

You can create a Topcat development environment via Vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com/):

git clone https://github.com/icatproject/topcat.git
cd topcat
vagrant up

Once everything is up and running you'll need to make a security exception, which can be done by going to:

• https://localhost:8181/topcat/ping

You'll then be able to run Topcat by going to:

• http://localhost:10080/

You will be able to log into the "TEST" facility with the following credentials:

• Authentication Type: Simple
• Username: root
• Password: root

You can edit Topcat's main configuration by editing:

• yo/app/config/topcat_dev.json

You can rebuild the server side (i.e. anything Java related) by:

vagrant ssh
topcat build_install

You can build a distro by:

vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant
mvn clean install

your new build will be in:

• target/
