| + | |||
| + | The following steps can be used to copy the UV-CDAT installed on //asterix// to a desktop/laptop with a similar linux installation | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Create the top directory where the UV-CDAT versions will be installed (make sure there is enough space available, a few Gb...):\\ ''mkdir /homel/cdat''\\ ''chown jypeter:lsce /homel/cdat'' | ||
| + | * Create a link from where UV-CDAT thinks it is installed, to where it is actually installed (just in case some paths are hard-coded, you never know...):\\ ''mkdir -p /usr/local/install''\\ ''cd /usr/local/install''\\ ''ln -s /homel/cdat cdat'' | ||
| + | * Use rsync to send the UV-CDAT binaries from a machine where it is installed, to the new machine:\\ ''rsync -avzW --delete /usr/local/install/cdat/ jypeter@lsceNNNN:/homel/cdat/'' | ||
| + | * Use the following to initialize UV-CDAT: | ||
| + | * **Version 1.5** | ||
| + | * *sh: ''source /usr/local/install/cdat/versions/cdat_install_uv-1.5.1_x86_64_gcc4_VB_10/bin/setup_runtime.sh'' | ||
| + | * tcsh: ''source /usr/local/install/cdat/versions/cdat_install_uv-1.5.1_x86_64_gcc4_VB_10/bin/setup_runtime.csh'' | ||
| + | * **Version 2.1.0** | ||
| + | * *sh: ''source /usr/local/install/cdat/versions/cdat_install_uv-2.1.0_x86_64_gcc4_VB_13/bin/setup_runtime.sh'' | ||
| + | * tcsh: ''source /usr/local/install/cdat/versions/cdat_install_uv-2.1.0_x86_64_gcc4_VB_13/bin/setup_runtime.csh'' | ||
