Setting Up Project Directories for RWS

Run the Clone Script

sudo apt install git -y
export GIT_USER= # your gitlab user
export GIT_MAIL= # your gitlab mail
eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add
curl -s -L https://gitlab.com/c2platform/rws/ansible-gis/-/raw/master/clone.sh | bash

Create rws Alias

As part of setting up the C2 development environment see Setup Project Directory and Install Ansible we created two aliases c2 and c2-home.

alias c2-home='cd ~/git/gitlab/c2/ansible-dev'
alias c2='c2-home && source ~/.virtualenv/c2d/bin/activate'

For RWS development we create the rws alias as shown below.

alias rws='c2 && cd ~/git/gitlab/c2/ansible-gis'

Install Ansible Collections and Roles

Navigate to the root of the Ansible project and activate the Ansible virtual environment using the `rws`` alias. Then, install roles and collections as follows:

source ~/.bashrc
rws # activate the RWS Ansible Virtual Environment
ansible-galaxy install -r roles/requirements.yml --force --no-deps -p roles/external
ansible-galaxy collection install -r collections/requirements.yml -p .

By following these steps, you’ll have your project directories set up and be ready for RWS development.
