Assistance with installing CAVE application.
Howdy Folks,
I've been using Arch for about a month now and all has been well. I just need some assistance with installing an application not on the AUR. I'd be happy to write a PKGBUILD once I can actually figure out how to install it manually. The main issue is that the pre-existing Linux support is only for CentOS or Fedora using yum. They have an automated installer but obviously it checks the distro before running and I can't figure out how to find a binary or an rpm to unpack so that I can run it. I know it needs java and maybe python as a dependency. I did find an older Reddit post where someone located the RPM and was able to unpack it and run the application but said URL for the RPM only redirects to another webpage now.

CAVE Installation Manual: http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave/
CAVE/AWIPS Github: https://github.com/Unidata/awips2
PS: CAVE is technically part of the AWIPS2 repo because AWIPS2 is the system and CAVE is an application part of that system but should be standalone besides a few dependencies.
Thanks!

Re: Assistance with installing CAVE application.
the wget command posted on reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … t/g6vxoa1/ still works .

Yes, except for Unidata's wget address that used to download an RPM now redirects all connections on that address to an html page so wget just saves the html into a file with the rpm extension.

Re: Assistance with installing CAVE application.
Looked at the awips_install.sh code and it only supports yum.
You may have to setup a VM with a distro supported by them and run CAVE through that or try to figure out how to compile the sourcecode from github.
