The full instruction is here http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/comp/sofi/installing
The actual order of steps is loosely related to the instruction above.
- Assumptions:
- start with a fresh copy of operating system. I used SL5.3_x86_64.
- you have full credentials at RCF, know enough login and scp files in and out
- you will install all STAR software as non-root in a user home dir (except rpm's for which you need root)
- Setting up your computing environment
- create user = balewski
- switch shell to be tcsh
type ps, if you do not see 'tcsh' you must change your shellNow logout, login, and again type 'ps'>chsh enter: /bin/tcsh
- pick name for directory for STAR software
> mkdir star_soft - Set up your login by copying the following scripts from RCF
>cp /afs/rhic.bnl.gov/star/group/templates/cshrc ~/.cshrc
>cp /afs/rhic.bnl.gov/star/group/templates/login ~/.login - tar, copy, untar the following RCF directory
/afs/rhic.bnl.gov/star/group
place it as sub dir here ~/star_soft/group - modify the variable GROUP_DIR located on top of your .login and .cshrc to point to the group directory
setenv GROUP_DIR /home/balewski/star_soft/group - logout/login , you should see:
