cli runner for native linux installation

[hcwinsemius]

Feature type

Adding new functionality

Improvement Description

It would be helpful to add a command-line interface, similar to wflow_cli.exe to the repository for linux users.

Implementation Description

This can be achieved by installing Julia plus the required packages, and a bash script that behaves similar to wflow_cli.exe. The following script already does what is needed.

#!/bin/bash
# this is a simple wflow runner that behaves in a similar way as windows wflow_cli.exe
# but calls the julia code directly
source ~/.bash_profile
if [ -z $1 ]
then
  echo "No .toml file is set, please define the .toml file as input argument"
  exit 1
fi
export toml=$1

# check if .toml exists, if not return error
if [ ! -f $toml ]
then
  echo ".toml file $toml cannot be found. Please check if the path is correctly set."
  exit 1
fi
julia_cmd="julia -e 'using Wflow; Wflow.run()' '$toml'"
export julia_cmd
echo "Running Wflow julia with the following command:"
echo $julia_cmd
eval "$julia_cmd"

Thanks for reporting this. We do automatically create Linux binaries for every release, and their are stored on the (Deltares) P-drive. I believe that there is/was some internal discussion on sharing these binaries through official Deltares channels (legal aspects), and I don't know what the current status is. I'll share the path to the Linux binaries on the P drive with you.
