CAMS

h1. Running CAMS (Tutorial)

This tutorial will teach you how to run the CAMS GUI with a simple scenario in simulation mode.

First of all, *make sure you successfully completed the [[Installation#Developer installation process|Installation (Developer)]] tutorial*. Then, open a terminal and change the current directory to the folder where the core packages are installed.

h2. Accessing the files for a simulated cloud environment

In order to run CAMS in fully simulated mode first we need a mesoNH file describing a synthetic atmospheric environment.

The computer @girofle@ at LAAS contains a disk with a mesoNH file that can be used with CAMS. You can use the command below to mount the folder:

<pre><code class="shell">

sshfs girofle.laas.fr:/media/Nephelae-Data/data/Nephelae/ mesonh_girofle_mount/

</code></pre>

If you are at LAAS with a ethernet connection network with a high-bandwith low-lattency you can use directly the mounted folder, 

If not,

h2. Scenario setup

Scenario configuration files describe the atmospheric environment and the UAVs managed by CAMS. A valid configuration file is required to run the graphical interface server.

There are dedicated tutorial and reference guide wiki pages for scenario configuration, but for an initial run let's use a simple file.
