- [Installing on an existing Cluster](#installing-on-an-existing-cluster)
## Caveats
-* UI doesn't have an authentication module yet
* UI uses local storage to save all the data. A middleware needs to be
designed and developed for persisting the data
## Prerequisites
-* Elastic search should be up and running and should have some alerts
populated by metron topologies
+* The Metron REST application should be up and running and Elasticsearch
should have some alerts populated by Metron topologies
+* The Management UI should be installed (which includes
[Express](https://expressjs.com/))
* The alerts can be populated using Quick Dev, Full Dev or any other setup
* UI is developed using angular4 and uses angular-cli
* node.JS >= 7.8.0
+## Installation
+
+### From Source
+
+1. Package the application with Maven:
+
+ ```
+ cd metron-interface/metron-alerts
+ mvn clean package
+ ```
+
+1. Untar the archive in the $METRON_HOME directory. The directory
structure will look like:
+
+ ```
+ bin
+ metron-alerts-ui
+ web
+ expressjs
+ alerts-server.js
+ alerts-ui
+ web assets (html, css, js, ...)
+ ```
+
+1. Copy the `$METRON_HOME/bin/metron-alerts-ui` script to
`/etc/init.d/metron-alerts-ui`
+
+1. [Express](https://expressjs.com/) is installed at
`$METRON_HOME/web/expressjs/` as part of the Management UI installation
process. The Management UI should be installeed first on the same host as the
Alerts UI.
