CMR OpenSearch is a web application developed by NASA EOSDIS to enable data discovery, search, and access across Earth Science data holdings by using an open standard. It provides an interface compliant with the OpenSearch 1.1 (Draft 5) specification by taking advantage of NASA's Common Metadata Repository (CMR) APIs for data discovery and access.

Once the repository is cloned locally and Ruby 2.1.2 is installed, you must install the dependencies. If you don't have the bundler gem already installed, execute the command below in the project root directory:
gem install bundler
or if you wish to install the bundler without documentation:
gem install bundler --no-rdoc --no-ri
Install all the gem dependencies:
bundle install
In some cases, depending on your operating system type and/or version, the above command will fail while trying to install the libv8 and therubyracer gems. While there might be lots of causes for the errors and lots of solutions to fix the errors, we found that on some versions of OS X, you can overcome the problem by trying to use the existing operating system version of the libv8 library, rather than trying to build a new one during the normal gem install. We found the following workarounds to the bundle install failures due to libv8:
gem uninstall libv8
gem install therubyracer
gem install libv8 -v 3.16.14.13 -- --with-system-v8
bundle install
The application requires the environment variables below to be set in order to run the web application:
URL of the internal / back-end CMR API instance endpoint. In a hosted environment, the application takes advantage of the direct access back-end interal URLs for increased performance in comparison to the public CMR API instance endpoint. For local installs or installs in non-CMR hosting environments, the catalog_rest_endpoint and the public_catalog_rest_endpoint should both point to the public CMR search API endpoint.
catalog_rest_endpoint = <internal endpoint for the CMR Search API instance used by the application>
URL of your specific CMR OpenSearch install:
opensearch_url = <CMR OpenSearch application URL>
URL of the public CMR search API instance used in OpenSearch results links in the response ATOM feed:
public_catalog_rest_endpoint = <public endpoint for the CMR Search API instance>
URL for the release page of the CMR OpenSearch application. The release page references appear on the user interface as well as in the search results:
release_page = <CMR OpenSearch EarthData release page>
The ATOM feed author email to be used for CMR entries in the matching ATOM results feed:
contact = <atom feed author email for each feed entry>
The environment specific postfix (such as dev,PT, TB etc.) for the internally generated client_id sent to echo in order to obtain an echo token:
mode = <postfix for client_id string used in obtaining echo tokens>
The ECHO REST endpoint used for obtaining user access tokens:
echo_rest_endpoint = <echo REST endpoint>
A CMR token with CMR collection tagging permissions in the respective CMR environment that the public_catalog_rest_endpoint points to:
CMR_ECHO_SYSTEM_TOKEN = <value>
URL for the CMR documentation page which appears in the OpenSearch web application footer:
documentation_page = <CMR documentation page URL>
Email for the NASA official responsible for the CMR OpenSearch application:
organization_contact_email = <email>
Full name for the NASA official responsible for CMR OpenSearch application:
organization_contact_name = <full name>
We provide default values for the above environment variables to enable running of the automated tests during CI (continuous integrations) builds. The application first looks for the configuration file:
config/application.yml
If the file exists, the application loads the values of variables in the file in the Rails environment. Having a local config/application.yml file is an effective way to populate the environment variables that the application needs in order to run. A sample config/application.yml file is below:
current: ¤t
opensearch_url: http://localhost:3000/
catalog_rest_endpoint: https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/
echo_rest_endpoint: https://api.echo.nasa.gov/echo-rest/
