ShakeCast is comprised of a ShakeCast server and a web server. The ShakeCast server scans for earthquake data, performs calculations, and sends notifications, while the web server provides a user interface for the software. These servers are started from individual python files; a setup script should run these files as daemons/services, but this has not been implemented yet.

Start the ShakeCast server:
  1. cd sc/app
  2. python server.py start
Start the web server:

  1. cd ../

  2. Start the web server
    1. sudo python web_server.py (run web server in production from port 80)
    2. python web_server.py -d (run web server in development mode on port 5000)
