Web application for computing seismic design values conforming to various design codes in the United States.
Dependencies
There are multiple dependencies that must be installed for this project:
- PHP
- PostgreSQL
Install PHP
$ brew install php56 --with-pdo-pgsql
Install PostgreSQL
This will take you through the process of installing, starting, and creating a PostgreSQL database locally.
Install
$ brew install postgresql
After running
brew install postgresql
, the terminal will output directions that you will use to get your installation up and running.Create/Upgrade a Database
If this is your first install, create a database with:
$ initdb \ --auth=md5 \ --auth-host=md5 \ --auth-local=md5 \ --pgdata=<db_directory> \ --encoding=UTF8 \ --locale=en_US.UTF-8 \ --username=<db_admin_username> --pwprompt
You will need to replace the
<db_directory>
and<db_admin_username>
with actual values that make sense for your environment. The<db_directory>
is a fully-qualified path name to a directory. This directory is where data files for the database installation will be located. The<db_admin_username>
is the name of the administrator for the database installation. This command will prompt you to enter a password for the<db_admin_username>
.Note: We suggest defining a
.data
directory at the root level of this application for the<db_directory>
.Start/Stop PostgreSQL
After running the
initdb
command, you should see a success message. Use thepg_ctl
utility to start the database.$ pg_ctl -D <db_directory> start
You will need to replace the
<db_directory>
with the same value you used when running theinitdb
command (above). Alternatively, you can set thePGDATA
environment variable to this value and you will not need to specify the-D <db_directory>
flag.Login
Login to the default
postgres
database with the user that created the database.$ psql postgres
Note: PostgreSQL will create the default database
postgres
, which you can access with the same user that you used to create the database.Database
The install process is assuming that an 'earthquake' database already exists.
