1. Set up your release work directory:
   You should always run this code from your own release working directory.
   See the Account Setup section to set up the analysis environment. Set up your release working directory from pslogin:

   Code Block
   none none
   [user@pslogin ~] newrel ana-current myrelease [user@pslogin ~] cd myrelease [user@pslogin myrelease] sit_setup

   
   
2. Add the package:
   This step is optional. Since release ana-0.3.7, xtcexplorer has been built into the release so you can skip to (3).
   Checking out a local copy is beneficial, though! That will enable you to edit the source files and customise the analysis.
   
   You need an afs token to check out the package, so if you didn't already you need to run 'kinit' first:

   Code Block
   none none
   [user@pslogin myrelease] kinit Password for user@SLAC.STANFORD.EDU:

   Now you're ready to check out the package and "compile":

   Code Block
   none none
   [user@pslogin myrelease] addpkg XtcExplorer [user@pslogin myrelease] scons

   Note! You can also do 'addpkg XtcExplorer VXX-XX-XX' to get a specific version of the package, or to get the most recent one, do 'addpkg XtcExplorer HEAD', but be aware that it may look different from described here, and might have fresh bugs as well as new features. Currently the latest tagged version (to appear in the release shortly) is V00-01-06 which has a few bug fixes and improvements for pyana_image w.r.t. the current release.
   
   
3. Run the program:
   Launch the GUI with the command 'xtcexplorer' and optionally give the input xtc files that you want to read
   as arguments. You can also browse to find files after launching the browser.
   
   To have access to the xtc files, you need to login to psana for this:

   Code Block
   [user@psanaXXX myrelease] sit_setup [user@psanaXXX myrelease] xtcexplorer /reg/d/psdm/CXI/cxi22010/xtc/e60-r0465-s0*
