Installing GridAPPS-D¶

1. Clone the GridAPPS-D Docker repository¶

Disconnect from your corporate/laboratory VPN (if applicable) and open the Ubuntu terminal:

Clone the GridAPPS-D repository:

git clone https://github.com/GRIDAPPSD/gridappsd-docker

Change directories into the gridappsd-docker folder and start the latest stable release of the GridAPPS-D platform.

It is possible to specify a particular release tag using the -t option and the release tag

A complete set of release is available in the associated readthedocs page

Wait for the platform to download the required docker containers. This is a very large package and will take several minutes.

After the containers have finished downloading, they will automatically be created and then launched:

When all the containers are running, the terminal will move inside the docker enviroment, which has its own internal directories and path.

Start the GridAPPS-D platform inside the docker container by running

./run-gridappsd.sh

The GridAPPS-D platform is now installed and running.

To confirm, open localhost:8080 to access the GridAPPS-D Visualization App:

*Congratulations! You have successfully installed the GridAPPS-D Platform, and the GridAPPSD-Python development environment!*
