irondemo - a set of scripts to create your own iron* demo environment (now available)

Today we released a new project on Github, called irondemo.

irondemo is a set of shell and Perl scripts as well as some resources, to build a environment containing our IF-MAP based software from scratch.

In contrast to our the demonstration environment we released last year, irondemo is not a ready-to-use virtual machine, but a toolset with which one can setup a environment based on the latest versions of our software on a system of their own.

The prerequisites are that you must have Git, a Java JDK (1.7) and Maven 3 installed.

At the moment, the following iron* software components are part of irondemo:

• ifmapj
• ifmapj-examples
• ifmapcli
• irond
• irongui
• irondetect
• irondhcp
• ironvas
• VisITMeta

To use irondemo, simply download it via Git and run the first two scripts in the scripts directory; you will end up with compiled versions of our software within the sources folder.

irondemo supports Linux and Mac OS X at the moment (we will change the existing Shell scripts to Perl in the future to also support Windows system).
