Site setup

Once all prerequisites are fulfilled one can move to the next step - setting up software distribution on your site/machine. For that one has to download a script from SLAC and run it, this has to be done from the user account that manages software and has write access to root directory created in previous step.

Code Block
# for RHEL5/6
curl -o site-setup.sh http://pswww.slac.stanford.edu/psdm-repo/dist_scripts/site-setup.sh
# for RHEL7
curl -o site-setup.sh http://pswww.slac.stanford.edu/psdm-repo/dist_scripts/site-setup-rh7.sh
# for both
chmod 755 site-setup.sh

The script takes one argument which is a location of the root directory:

...

Code Block
apt-get update
apt-get install psdm-release-ana-latest-rhel5

For Ubuntu 12.04:

Code Block
apt-get update
apt-get install psdm-release-ana-latest-ubu12

More than one platform can be installed at once, e.g.:

Code Block
apt-get update
apt-get install psdm-release-ana-latest-ubu12rhel5 psdm-release-ana-latest-rhel6

...

Also, starting with release ana-0.14.1 you can specify the location of your data directory (the equivalent of "/reg/d/psdm" at SLAC) with the environment variable SIT_PSDM_DATA.  You can also do this when you specify the DataSource with an option similar to "dir=/reg/d/ffb/amo/amoi0114/xtc", but the environment variable provides a clean method to do so "globally".

MPI

Starting with ana-0.18.0, the openmpi package is built to dynamically load lsf components. Offsite users will typically not have lsf. sit_setup will, by default, set the following environment variables

OMPI_MCA_ess  ^lsf
OMPI_MCA_ras   ^lsf
OMPI_MCA_plm  ^lsf

Advanced users may want to control these environment variables themselves. If so, set

SIT_NO_MODIFY_OMPI_ENV=1

If your offsite has a lsf installation you want to try, set LSF_PACKAGE_LIB appropriately. sit_setup will use this directory instead.

Release upgrade

When you want to upgrade to the new version of the analysis release run this from the same account that was used to install everything:

...

These commands will find out what is the most recent release available at SLAC, download it with all dependencies and install. If you installed release for multiple architectures (rhel5/rhel6/ubu12) then they all will be upgraded.
