Mission Support System Usage Guidelines
=======================================
Welcome to the Mission Support System software for planning
atmospheric research flights. This document is intended to point you
into the right direction in order to get the software working on your
computer.
## Installing MSS
We distinguish between Developer and User installations.
### Developer Installation
Please read our [contributing](https://open-mss.github.io/contributing/) pages.
and [development](https://mss.readthedocs.io/en/stable/development.html) guidelines
### User Installation
Get **pixi** from https://pixi.sh/latest/ for your operation system.
You can now decide if you want to install **mss** as global or a project.
#### Global installation
You can install **mss** global without defining a project first.
This method is practical when you are interested in starting the client
and don't need server configurations.
pixi global install mss
#### Global Usage
msui
mswms -h
mscolab -h
mssautoplot -h
##### Global Updating
Updates environments in the global environment.
This makes a release upgrade.
pixi global update mss
#### Project installation
Initialize a new project and navigate to the project directory.
pixi init MSS
cd MSS
Use the shell command to activate the environment and start a new shell in there.
pixi shell
Add the **mss** dependencies from conda-forge.
(MSS) pixi add mss
##### Project Usage
Always when you want to start **mss** programs you have after its installation
to activate the environment by pixi shell in the project dir.
On the very first start of **msui** it takes a bit longer because it setups fonts.
cd MSS
pixi shell
(MSS) msui
(MSS) mswms -h
(MSS) mscolab -h
(MSS) mssautoplot -h
##### Project Updating
Update dependencies as recorded in the local lock file.
cd MSS
pixi shell
(MSS) pixi update mss
##### Project Upgrading
Update the version of packages to the latest possible version, disregarding the manifest version constraints
This makes a release upgrade.
cd MSS
pixi shell
(MSS) pixi update mss
