URBANopt CLI

This is the command line interface (CLI) for the URBANopt™ SDK.

Installation (Using Ruby)

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'urbanopt-cli'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself with:

gem install urbanopt-cli

Installation (Using Installer)

The UrbanOpt installer is an alternate way to install the UrbanOpt CLI that also includes Ruby 2.7.2 and the OpenStudio SDK. Below are installation instructions for each platform.

Linux (Ubuntu 18.04)

Download the .deb package.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ./UrbanOptCLI-0.3.1.b6f118d506-Linux.deb

This will install to /usr/local/ directory. e.g. /usr/local/urbanopt-cli-0.13.0/

To run the UrbanOpt CLI, first run the setup-env.sh script that generates environmental variables and stores these in env_uo.sh in your home directory.

/usr/local/urbanopt-cli-0.13.0/setup-env.sh
. ~/.env_uo.sh

When launching new shell terminals run . ~/.env_uo.sh to setup the environment. 

Mac OSX (>= 10.12)

Download the .dmg package.

Use the GUI installer and choose a directory to install. Once installed, open a terminal and run the provided setup script. The setup-env.sh generates env variables and stores them in a file .env_uo.sh in your home directory.

/Applications/UrbanOptCLI_0.13.0/setup-env.sh
. ~/.env_uo.sh

When launching new shell terminals run . ~/.env_uo.sh to setup the environment. 

Windows (64-bit Windows 7 – 10)

Download the .exe installer.

Use the GUI installer and choose a directory to install. Once installed, open a terminal (Powershell, Windows CMD and GitBash are supported) and run the provided setup script for that shell (below are the setup scripts for each respective shell environment).

Bash (or GitBash for Windows)

c:/urbanopt-cli-0.13.0/setup-env.sh
. ~/.env_uo.sh

Powershell or Command Prompt

c:\urbanopt-cli-0.13.0\setup-env.ps1
. ~\.env_uo.ps1

Windows Command Prompt

After the setup-env.ps1 script has been run:

"%HOMEPATH%/.env_uo.bat"

When launching new shell terminals run the correct environment config to setup the environment. 

Usage

For help text in your terminal, type:

uo --help

Create a project folder:

uo create --project-folder <FOLDERNAME>

Overwrite an existing project folder:

uo create --overwrite --project-folder <FOLDERNAME>

Create an empty project folder without the example files:

uo create --empty --project-folder <FOLDERNAME>

Create ScenarioFiles from a FeatureFile using MapperFiles:

uo create --scenario-file <FEATUREFILE>

Create a ScenarioFile using only a specific FEATURE_ID from a FEATUREFILE:

uo create --scenario-file <FEATUREFILE> --single-feature <FEATURE_ID>

Create a REopt ScenarioFile from an existing ScenarioFile:

uo create --reopt-scenario-file baseline_scenario.csv

Run URBANopt energy simulations for each feature in your scenario:

uo run --scenario <SCENARIOFILE> --feature <FEATUREFILE>

Run URBANopt energy simulations for each feature in your scenario, with REopt functionality included:

uo run --reopt --scenario <SCENARIOFILE> --feature <FEATUREFILE>

Post-process simulations for a full scenario:

uo process --<TYPE> --scenario <SCENARIOFILE> --feature <FEATUREFILE>

• Valid TYPEs are: default, opendss, reopt-scenario, reopt-feature, reopt-resilience, disco

Delete a scenario you have already run:

uo delete --scenario <SCENARIOFILE>

Installed CLI version:

uo --version
