Yamcs is a mission control framework developed in Java. It uses an open-ended architecture that allows tailoring its feature set using yaml configuration files. You can also extend the default feature set by writing custom Java classes.
To start developing your own Yamcs application, follow our Getting Started guide.

To work on the core components of Yamcs you need JDK8, Maven and npm.
Build Java jars:
mvn clean install -DskipTests
Build web interface:
cd yamcs-web/src/main/webapp
npm install
npm run build
cd -
These commands will produce an optimized production version of the web interface. This process will take a few minutes. For faster incremental builds run in watch mode (npm run watch).
For demo and development purposes we work with an all-in-one simulation environment that uses many Yamcs features. In this simulation, Yamcs receives TM from a simple simulator of a landing spacecraft. Yamcs can also send some basic TC. The simulator starts together with Yamcs as a subprocess.
./run-example.sh simulation
This configuration stores data to /storage/yamcs-data. Ensure this folder exists and that you can write to it.
When Yamcs started successfully, you can visit the built-in web interface by navigating to http://localhost:8090.
