ORNL Software Catalog

Original Author: Ian Lee lee1001@llnl.gov

Welcome to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory software portal! The purpose of this software portal is to serve as a hub for open source software that is produced by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

ORNL produces software on a daily basis. Some of this software is used only internally, other components are licensed for use by external partners and collaborators, still other software is released, or even actively developed, in the open on software hosting platforms such as GitHub.com.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have working installs of Git, Ruby, and Bundler. You will need these tools for development.

Getting Started

To work locally, first clone into the repository:

git clone https://code.ornl.gov/rse-public/ornl-software-catalog

Make sure you are in the directory you just created by running cd ornl-software-catalog Then you can use bundler to install the Ruby dependencies (see the Jekyll installation docs for step-by-step guides to setting this up):

bundle install

Running this will install everything in your Gemfile (including Jekyll).

Next, run the development web server with:

bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload --incremental

Finally, open http://localhost:4000 in a web browser.

Tips

The gems in your sourcefile get updated frequently. It is a good idea to occasionally run bundle update from within your project's root directory to make sure the software on your computer is up to date.

Sometimes there can be dependency conflicts if your local version of Ruby is different from this repo or GitHub pages deployment settings. You can find the version number of each of GitHub Page's current dependency's here. You can often avoid dependency issues if you use the same versions, including for Ruby.

For example, the default version of Ruby used to deploy GitHub Pages on github.com as of 2021-04-08 was Ruby 2.7.1. If you tried running Ruby version 3.0.0 locally on macOS, you'll need to do some extra steps to correctly install the dependencies for this repository. You'd need to run bundle add webrick as it is no longer a prepackaged dependency with Ruby in 3.0.0. You may also need to run gem install eventmachine -- --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1 as MacOS >10.14 doesn't use OpenSSL from the same path as is still assumed to be in by eventmachine.
