Quick Guide

• Install this plugin

  • Install Atom.

  • In Atom, open the command palette with CTRL+SHIFT+P and find the entry "Settings View: Install Packages and Themes".

  • In the settings window, search for "MoPE" to find the plugin and install it.

• Install the server

  • From the command pallette (CTRL+SHIFT+P) use the command "Mope: Download Server jar". Alternatively you can manually download the latest release of the Mo|E server and put the JAR file in a directory where you can find it (e.g. /usr/local/lib/)

  • Install a Java JRE or JDK and add the binary folder to the PATH variable, if the installation for your operating system does not already do so.

• Adjust plugin settings

  • Using the command pallette (CTRL+SHIFT+P) find "Settings View: Installed Packages" and click on the "Settings" Button for the "MoPE" package.

  • Adjust settings where necessary. In particular, you should validate the "Mope Exec" path and enable the "Start Server" setting.

• Create a Mo|E project

  • From the Atom menu select File → Add Project Folder…​ and select the folder where you store your models. Note that Mo|E currently only can handle one main folder per project.

  • From the command pallette (CTRL+SHIFT+P) use the command "Mope: Generate Project.json"

    • NOTE: This command is currently broken. However, the file mope-project.json is also generated when you first use the command "Mope: Connect" (see below).

  • If necessary, adjust the "path" setting in the generated file mope-project.json in your main project folder. This setting should point to a path where your Modelica models and packages can be found.

  • From the command palette (CTRL+SHIFT+P) use the command "Mope: Connect". If all your settings are correct, you should see the text "Mo|E - connected" in the lower left status bar in Atom.

  • Mo|E will now automatically check your models for syntax errors on each save and you will have additional commands in the command palette such as "Mope: Check Model".
