**ESGF 3.0 currently supports RHEL/CentOS 6**

Installation
******************************************
The installation is performed on the Node itself.

1. Clone this repo using

.. code-block:: bash

    git clone https://github.com/ESGF/esgf-installer.git && cd esgf-installer

2. Checkout the appropriate branch/tag. For example, the 3.0 beta version can be accessed with the following command: 

.. code-block:: bash

    git checkout tags/v3.0b1 -b 3.0_beta

3. To avoid being prompted for various parameters, the ``esgf.properties.template`` should be populated with the proper values for your node. See `the properties file documentation <https://esgf.github.io/esgf-installer/autoinstall_usage.html>`_ for information when populating.

4. Install Miniconda and other ESGF dependencies from yum and pip by running the bootstrap script. If you are migrating to ESGF 3.0 from a previous version of ESGF, add the 'migrate' parameter:

.. code-block:: bash

    ./esg_bootstrap.sh [migrate]

5. Activate the esgf-pub conda environment

.. code-block:: bash

    source /usr/local/conda/bin/activate esgf-pub

6. Run an installation by invoking the `esg_node.py` script. For example, a data-only node installation:

.. code-block:: bash

    python esg_node.py --install --type data
