Browse Collections for iRODS
Project description
Brocoli application allows users to browse iRODS catalog collections in a simple Tkinter GUI.
Install Brocoli
Pre-requisites
For now, Brocoli runs on Linux platforms. There may be Microsoft Windows support in a not-so-far future.
Brocoli needs a Python installation with Tkinter. Under Ubuntu <http://www.ubuntu.com>, you may have to install a specific package to get Tkinter.
Python 2.7+ and 3.5+ are expected to work.
Dependencies
Brocoli depends on the following packages:
python-irodsclient: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-irodsclient
Installing with pip
From a command shell, run:
pip install brocoli [--user]
If you don’t have administrative privileges, you may need to use the --user optional argument, in order to install Brocoli in your user account.
Installing from source
Download Brocoli from https://github.com/mesocentre-mcia/brocoli
from distribution directory, run python setup.py install [--user]
If you don’t have administrative privileges, you may need to use the --user optional argument, in order to install Brocoli in your user account.
Using Brocoli
Run brocoli from a command shell:
$ brocoli
Connections
At first run, Brocoli will use a default os connection that does nothing interesting except displaying a local directory. You will want to create a more useful connection with an iRODS catalog. Just configure it following the menus:
Settings -> New Connection
This will open a dialog where you can set the connection configuration.
Now, you should be able to switch to the newly created connections by following:
Settings -> Switch connection -> Your new connection name
File operations
Operations on files and directories are accessible by right clicking on the target.
