Use the awesim CLI to share an app

Last edited by Eric Franz

Login to Glenn, and do module load ruby. The awesim command line interface is provided via a Ruby gem.

Clone the app's repo into a subdirectory of awesim_shared_apps

mkdir ~/awesim_shared_apps
cd ~/awesim_shared_apps
git clone /url/or/path/to/my/repo hello_sim

cd into it and run awesim setup

$ cd hello_sim
$ awesim setup
  • if there is a conflict, you can press d and enter to see the diff of the file and press Y and enter to overwrite what is there or n and enter to skip

Run awesim lint to verify setup is good.

$ awesim lint
Everybody does not have read and execute access to restart directory: /nfs/17/efranz/awesim_shared_apps/.tmp/hello_sim. Fix then restart!
$

If you see this error, you will need to change permission on your home directory and ~/awesim_shared_apps to 755:

$ chmod 755 $HOME && chmod 755 $HOME/awesim_shared_apps

If awesim lint doesn't throw any errors, you should be good to go. Go to the dashboard, refresh and try accessing the app through the dashboard (a link should now appear).
