  • Easy way is to deploy through manager app (under Deploy -> WAR file to deploy)
    • War file is at https://github.com/usgs/vsc-valve/releases
  • Or you can build from scratch and install manually:
    • From Eclipse project, run build.xml file with dist target. This will create dist/valve3-bin.tar.gz.
    • Untar valve3-bin.tar.gz into /usr/share/tomcat/webapps
    • Ensure tomcat user owns the data and img directories
  • You should now see Valve3 under Manager App.
• Configure Valve:
  • Edit filters.txt, images.txt, and labels.txt in /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/Valve3 (changes to these later will require reload of Valve3)
    • filters.txt - list of region shortcuts; bounding box of lat/lon
    • images.txt - list of background map images
    • labels.txt - list of labels to display on maps
  • In /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/Valve3/WEB-INF/config, rename dist-valve3.config to valve3.config and edit:
    • title
    • admin.name
    • admin.email
    • timeZoneAbbr
    • logFile
    • labelIndex
    • imageIndex
  • In /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/Valve3/config, rename dist-data.config to data.config and edit.
