Running OpenQuake

There are three services needed to run OpenQuake: Redis, RabbitMQ and Celery.

Skip this step if you are using Ubuntu. Otherwise open a new terminal, and type:

sudo redis-server

Skip this step if you are using Ubuntu. Otherwise open a new terminal, and type:

sudo rabbitmq-server

To start Celery, you must be inside your OpenQuake directory. Open a new terminal, and type:

cd /to/your/openquake/dir/
celeryd

You should see something like:

[...]
[...]
WARNING:celery:celery@YOUR_HOSTNAME has started.

In case you see [these errors](http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/566580/) when running celeryd as a non-root user please make sure the permissions for /dev/shm are set as follows:

sudo chmod 01777 /dev/shm/
ls -ld /dev/shm/
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 40 2011-02-13 11:03 /dev/shm/

We can now run the test suite, with:

cd /to/your/openquake/dir/
python run_tests.py

Or a smoke test, with:

cd /to/your/openquake/dir/
python bin/openquake --config_file=smoketests/simplecase/config.gem  --debug=debug

Further assistance you can get help through our mailing list or on irc.freenode.net (freenode network) at #openquake.
your installation was successful you can now visit the running OpenQuake page to learn which services you need to start and how to run a smoke test or the tests suite. Enjoy!
