Running OpenQuake for the first time

[ilaria_mosca]

Dear OQ-developers,

I have installed and compilled OpenQuake following the instructions from the link: https://github.com/gem/oq-engine/wiki/Installing-the-OpenQuake-Engine

Then I run the software typing the line suggested in the same website: openquake --run-hazard=/usr/openquake/engine/demos/simple_fault_demo_hazard/job.ini --no-distribute

and I got the same output on the terminal. This means that I installed OQ correctly.

However, I don't understand where the output files are located.

In many emails of this forum you speak about the flag --config-file=../demos/simple_fault_demo_hazard/config.gem \ --output-type=xml . When I type this I get an error message that --cong-file does't exist.

I have understood that the path of output files is in config.gem, but I don't manage to use the file ../simple_fault_demo_hazard/conf.gem. What is wrong? Did I make some mistakes in the installation?

I'm using OpenQuake from Ubuntu 12.04 in VMwave player.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Kind regards,

Ilaria

Hi Ilaria,

The default behavior of OQ-Engine is to store the computed outputs only in the database.

In order to export an output to a file, you have two options.

1) After the calculation, issue the command

openquake --export-hazard <id> <target_dir>

where <id> is the output ID displayed after a successful calculation run (in the example it is one of the numbers between 1 and 18) and <target_dir> is the directory you want to store your outputs into.

Same instructions apply for risk (with --export-risk)

2) Run a calculation and export all the outputs with a single command invokation. E.g.

openquake --run-hazard /path/to/your/job.ini --exports xml

Hi Ilaria,

To run a hazard calculation, you should use the --run-hazard option. You can run that with --run-hazard=../demos/simple_fault_demo_hazard/job.ini. The config.gem file in that directory is obsolete and should be removed; sorry about that. To answer your question, you can set the output directory in the job.ini, using the `export_dir` parameter. For example: https://github.com/gem/oq-engine/blob/master/demos/simple_fault_demo_hazard/job.ini#L45.

In the latest version of oq-engine, --config-file is used only for configuration the computation environment; in most cases, you don't need to use this option. Run openquake with the --help option for more info.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Lars

Thank you very much for the answer!  Indeed, typing the commands  openquake --export-hazard <id> <target_dir> I managed to move the output files from the database to another directory.

Kind regards,

Thanks a lot to both Luigi and Lars for the answers to my questions.

Kind regards,
