Manchester Athena Installations

Below are instructions & information for using the Atlas release instalations at Manchester. Please look at the first time use section first!

Release location

All the releases are located in:

/nfs/software/AtlasReleases/MultiRel/

Which should be accessible from all the linux8 nodes.

First time Use

For the first time use, follow the instructions in WorkBookSetAccount to set up CMT. Note you need to do this even if you already did the steps on the lxplus cluster at cern. For the requirements file you need the one that points to the manchester installations & there is an example one at:

/nfs/software/AtlasReleases/MultiRel/examplerequirements/requirements

Once you have done the basic setups for cmt log out, log back in and then go to the section on Release use.

Release Use

Release use is similar to cern. Remember you can pick up the example requirements file from:

/nfs/software/AtlasReleases/MultiRel/examplerequirements/requirements

To to set up a release (e.g. 14.5.0) you do:

source ~/cmthome/setup.sh -tag=14.5.0

Then you can go to your test area:

cd $TestArea

and checkout packages & run athena as usual. If you have trouble checking out packages, see the note on cern cvs access from linux8 here.

Note if you want to use the production caches (4 digit releases), you should do the following (e.g. for 14.5.1.2):

source ~/cmthome/setup.sh -tag=14.5.1.2,AtlasProduction
