Here all the details on how I installed the Einstein Toolkit on our local machine using the portland compilers. ====== Step 1: Get the code ====== As first step a select a location where save the source tree and the //simfactory// simulation data. I decided to use a common root tree on a disk. In my case: ''"/storageQ01/EinsteinToolkit/"'' and to download the code from here. I will and having a subdirectory named ''"Cactus"'' for the code a subdirectory named ''"simulation"'' for //simfactory// simulations. A this point the three standard command and an alias defining "sim" (simfactory) did the jobs. curl -O https://raw.github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/master/GetComponents chmod a+x GetComponents ./GetComponents --parallel https://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/manifest/trunk/einsteintoolkit.th alias sim='/storageQ01/EinsteinToolkit/Cactus/simfactory/bin/sim' ====== Step 2: Set up simfactory ====== An easy start: [roberto.depietri@einstein Cactus]$ sim setup Unknown machine name einstein.pr.infn.it Here we will define some necessary Simulation Factory defaults. Determining local machine name: einstein.pr.infn.it Creating machine einstein.pr.infn.it from generic: machine einstein.pr.infn.it [/storageQ01/EinsteinToolkit/Cactus/simfactory/mdb/machines/einstein.pr.infn.it.ini] created successfully enter value for key user [roberto.depietri]: enter value for key email [roberto.depietri]: roberto.depietri@unipr.it enter value for key allocation []: NoAllocation enter value for key sourcebasedir (the parent directory containing the Cactus sourcetree) [/storageQ01/EinsteinToolkit]: enter value for key basedir (the location of simfactory simulations) [/home/einstein/roberto.depietri/simulations]: /storageQ01/EinsteinToolkit/simulations would you like to enter key/value pairs for a specific machine?
