  • Account setup:
    • Your afs unix account must be added to the facet group.  Contact Ken Brobeck (x2558).
    • You will be logging into the facet network as the shared fphysics account. For personal matlab settings, Mike Zelazny (x3673) will set you up with an (optional) user-specific directory and environment (ENVS script file) under fphysics.
  • Log into the mcclogin machine with your afs account:
    • ssh mcclogin
  • Then, from mcclogin, log into facet-srv01 or facet-srv02 as the fphysics account, for example:
    • ssh fphysics@facet-srv01
    • When prompted, enter your user number assigned by Mike (or 0 if you don't have one.)
    • With Mike's setup, you are now in /home/fphysics/yourUserID (e.g. /home/fphysics/fred)

...

Environment setup
After you log onto a Linux machine using the fphysics account, you'll need to execute customize the following commands to set your environment up for matlab. Once Mike Z. has set up your user directory under fphysics as described in II. above, you can add the these commands to your /home/fphysics/yourUserID/ENVS file, and they will be automatically invoked every time you log in. Note: All strings are case-sensitive.

  • source /usr/local/facet/tools/script/ENVS_facet.bashIf you need access to OTR images or similar data, also append this line
  • export EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES=40000000 If you log from Windows PC, you should also add the line: (if you'll be using OTR image data)
  • export DISPLAY=your_IP_address:0 ((if you're logging in from Windows)

Note: your_IP_address can be found after e.g. running ipconfig on Windows.

  • Start matlab
    • If you want the full development environment, type

      matlab

      to start the full GUI version If you want to run applications only and/or do some basic scripting (recommended), type
      matlab -nodesktop -nosplash
      to start the fully working command-line version that requires much less resources.
