Installation script that enable a fully automated installation of iLCSoft with minimal user intervention.

iLCInstall is distributed under the GPLv3 License

Usage

The script can be called with the following syntax:

ilcsoft-install install.cfg [ -p, -i ]

options description:

-p to preview installation environment
-i to install the software

If called without options a summary of the installation is displayed. Examples of configuration files can be found under releases.

Usage Examples:

Install the full ilc software tools + external dependencies on your local disk

note that boost, mysql, java and cernlib installations are not supported in ilcinstall
this packages need to be installed on your system. Please change the paths to this packages in
the file releases/v01-17-07/release-versions.py
for debian/ubuntu distributions you may need to install a few packages beforehand such as:
apt-get install build-essential cmake subversion libmysqlclient-dev freeglut3-dev zlib1g-dev libqt4-dev cernlib-core-dev
default-jdk libxpm-dev libxmu-dev lesstif2-dev doxygen latex2html

Step 1: install the external packages (geant4, root, GSL,....)

you can skip this step, if you want to use external tools from afs or cvmfs - see below

NB: you have to use a compiler that is compatible w/ c++11 for SL6 you can use gcc4.8 provided by CERN SFT see comment in release-versions.py on how to set this up

ilcsoft_install_prefix = "/scratch/ilcsoft/"

note: no version suffix is added to this path here as the external tools are rather independent of the ilcsoft version

possibly edit releases/v01-17-07/release-base.cfg and comment out any unneeded packages:

e.g. those that are already installed on your system no need to comment out packages that are already installed in the correct place, ilcinstall will simply use them

run:

./ilcsoft-install releases/v01-17-07/release-base.cfg [-p]

check the output carefully w.r.t. to paths used, then install:

./ilcsoft-install releases/v01-17-07/release-base.cfg -i

Step 2: install the actual ilcsoft release

no need to edit releases/v01-17-07/release-versions.py
assuming you have set ilcsoft_install_prefix already in Step 1
Note: the release version will be automatically appended to the install path !
if you have skipped Step 0 and want to use the external tools installed in afs or cvmfs:
set the ilcPath accordingly (see below for pathes), e.g:

ilcPath = '/afs/desy.de/project/ilcsoft/sw/x86_64_gcc44_sl6

ilcPath = '/cvmfs/ilc.desy.de/sw/x86_64_gcc48_sl6

can be set to any other directory that contains all the needed external tools

possibly edit releases/v01-17-07/release-ilcsoft.cfg and comment out any unneeded packages. Run:

./ilcsoft-install releases/v01-17-07/release-ilcsoft.cfg [-p]

check the output carefully w.r.t. to pathes used, then install:

./ilcsoft-install releases/v01-17-07/release-ilcsoft.cfg -i
