Tools
Configuration
Each processing server needs a configuration file where the path to the executables and version information for all installed tools are defined. A template configuration file is provided for convenience.
First, copy the template file:
cp server/tools.template.json server/tools.json
Then edit the entries in the tools.json file. The timeout specifies the maximum execution
time allowed for this tool. Change this if you are on a particularly slow or fast machine.
Each entry should look like so:
"Unfold": {
"executable": "C:\\Program Files\\Rizom Lab\\Unfold3D VS RS 2017.0\\unfold3d.exe",
"version": "2017.0.27.g2c0aab2",
"timeout": 1200 // 20 minutes
},
You are allowed to use comments in the .json file.
Please make sure backslashes are escaped using another backslash: \\
