Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+ -
• Google Cloud SDK (includes gsutil) — for GCS upload features
• Permissions to target GCS buckets

Google Cloud Setup

In a terminal window run the following command:

# Install Google Cloud SDK
# Download from: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install

# Authenticate
gcloud auth login

⚠️ Important: If you encounter a Reauthentication required. error, Google requires rotating or re-authenticating credentials at unspecified times. (~ every 16hrs)

To fix this, simply login again

Installation

In a python, conda promt window run the following command:

pip install noaa-jetstream

Upgrade/Update Jetstream

In a python, conda promt window run the following command:

pip install --no-cache --upgrade noaa-jetstream

Starting the Application

If Installed via pip

# Start the server (opens browser automatically)
jetstream

Install Jetstream Desktop Shortcut

Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts are included with the default install. The shortcut will automatically use the JetStream icon (icon.ico) when created.

# Create desktop + Start Menu shortcut (uses JetStream icon automatically)
jetstream-create-shortcuts

# Remove shortcuts
jetstream-remove-shortcuts

Shortcuts launch JetStream directly using the current Python environment and open a terminal window. On Windows a .lnk shortcut is created on the desktop and in the Start Menu. On macOS/Linux a .app/.desktop shortcut is created in Applications.

Troubleshooting Startup Issues

If the server appears to start but you can't connect:

1. Run diagnostics:

   python diagnose.py
   

2. Run with debug logging:

   jetstream --log-level debug
   # or from source:
   python -m uvicorn jetstream.main:app --reload --log-level debug
   

Troubleshooting

Cannot connect to GCS:

• Verify authentication: gcloud auth list
• Check bucket permissions
• Ensure Application Default Credentials are set

Jobs stuck in queue:

• Check queue status in dashboard
• Verify no jobs are blocking the queue
• Restart the application if needed

Database errors:

• Delete jetstream.db to reset (loses history)
• Check file permissions in application directory

API not responding:

• Check if port 8000 is already in use
• View logs in terminal for error messages
• Ensure all dependencies are installed

Terminal UI (TUI)

JetStream ships a full terminal dashboard — think htop + ranger + gsutil — that runs in any terminal or SSH session without a browser.
