Appendix: Step 1a. Deploy the app to Bluemix using the cf command This procedure provides an alternative method to deploying the WhatsupWatson app using Git and Cloud Foundry command line utility tools. 1. To use the Git command line, download the code from my DevOps Services project into a local directory named whatsup. Run the following command: git clone https://hub.jazz.net/git/tvganesh/whatsupwatson/ The code can also be cloned from my WhatsupWatson project on GitHub: git clone https://github.com/tvganesh/whatsupwatson 2. Download and install the Cloud Foundry (cf) command-line tool, which will be used to upload and manage the app. To validate if Cloud Foundry was installed successfully, run the following command: cf version 3. Log in to Bluemix using the cf CLI command. cf login -a https://api.ng.bluemix.net 4. Go to the directory where you have cloned the code for WhatsupWatson app. Use your favorite editor and edit manifest.yml. Choose an appropriate name for your app (for example, DrWatson or Doctor), change the name field, and save the file. Also provide a unique name for the host field. You could add your initials as a suffix to make it unique. In this case, WhatsupWatson is used for both the app name and the host field. 5. Now push the app to Bluemix using cf: cf push WhatsupWatson --no-start 6. Create an instance of Watson's Question and Answer service by typing the following command: cf create-service question_and_answer question_and_answer001 question_and_answer_free_plan 7. Bind the question_and_answer service instance question_and_answer001 to the Bluemix app, WhatsupWatson. In this case, you would enter: cf bind-service WhatsupWatson question_and_answer001 8. Now start the application: cf start WhatsupWatson 11
