→Running Cumulus MX
|
# Start '''Cumulus MX engine''' (command to do this varies between operating systems, so see sub-heading for your device below
# Start '''Admin Interface''', it runs in a browser, by default on port 8998, see [[#User_Interface|section]] below.
If you have been running Cumulus 1 before, then [[Moving from Cumulus 1 to MX|as instructed here]] your MX installation will require various files from your Cumulus 1 installation including all files in the '''data''' and '''Reports''' folder and all [[:Category:Configuration Files|Configuration Files]] including [[Cumulus.ini#Swapping_from_Cumulus_1_to_MX|Cumulus.ini]] and follow that link for details of a few of the parameters that you may need to change.
If you are running MX for the first time, without a configuration file (none is included in download package), see [[Cumulus.ini#Cumulus_MX|here]] for screen shots showing what you see as the engine starts running, and what you see in the admin interface where you set your weather station type. In that link there are more instructions.
More recently, Microsoft launched an alternative called .NET Core that took out of .NET the parts that were Windows specific, and it ceased work on further development of .NET beyond version 4.x.x.
'''Perhaps confusingly, in November 2020, there will be change around of names, and the multi-operating system .NET Core product will take over the .NET name as version 5. I don't pretend to understand the technical details, but the impression I get is that the new .NET in November will be similar to Mono, so apps designed for that will still work, but apps using .NET to make code designed for windows will stop working'''. Since the Cumulus code is currently coded to behave slightly differently using .NET and using MONO, I guess it is possible old versions of MX might stop working when the new .NET is installed via Windows Update.
