Install from GitHub
-------------------

Check out code from the Finch GitHub repo and start the installation:

.. code-block:: console

   $ git clone https://github.com/bird-house/finch.git
   $ cd finch

Create Conda environment named `finch`:

.. code-block:: console

   $ conda env create -f environment.yml
   $ source activate finch

Install Finch app:

.. code-block:: console

  $ pip install -e .
  OR
  make install

For development you can use this command:

.. code-block:: console

  $ pip install -e .[dev]
  OR
  $ make develop

Start Finch PyWPS service
-------------------------

After successful installation you can start the service using the ``finch`` command-line.

.. code-block:: console

   $ finch --help # show help
   $ finch start  # start service with default configuration

   OR

   $ finch start --daemon # start service as daemon
   loading configuration
   forked process id: 42

The deployed WPS service is by default available on:

http://localhost:5000/wps?service=WPS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities.

.. NOTE:: Remember the process ID (PID) so you can stop the service with ``kill PID``.

You can find which process uses a given port using the following command (here for port 5000):

.. code-block:: console

   $ netstat -nlp | grep :5000


Check the log files for errors:

.. code-block:: console

   $ tail -f  pywps.log

... or do it the lazy way

You can also use the ``Makefile`` to start and stop the service:

.. code-block:: console

  $ make start
  $ make status
  $ tail -f pywps.log
  $ make stop

You can also run Finch as a Docker container.
