## Install
The source for the standalone predictor is somewhere where nobody can find it, that'll be here when I can get hold of it. The GFS/DAP predictor is in the pred_src directory and building instructions can be found there.
The source for the prediction software itself is in pred_src and instructions for building it can be found there.
The webserver needs to have a connection timeout of 30+. The GFS data needs to be updated regularly, that script is part of the hourly predictor [here](http://www.github.com/rjw57/cusf-landing-prediction).
The `./preds` directory needs to have rwx access by the PHP interpreter and the `get_wind_data.py` python script.
## Information
A cronjob should be run to delete directories in the `preds` directory after a given number of days, perhaps 7 or 10.
The directory names are UUIDs comprised of an SHA1 hash of the launch parameters, and re-running predictions will overwrite data in the existing directory, rather than create a new one.
## Credits

* Rich Wareham - The new predictor and the hourly predictor system
* Rob Anderson - The GRIB predictor
* And Fergus Noble, Ed Moore and many others
