Setup CDS software on Workstations

1. change controls UID to 1001, and controls GID to 1001 because all of the CDS files owned by controls account with UID=1001 and GID=1001. see https://awiki.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLIGO/CdsUbuntuDesktopBuild

2. sudo chown 1001 /frames
   sudo chown -R 1001:1001 /frames/*
   sudo chown 1001 /opt
   sudo chown 1001 /opt/apps
   sudo chown 1001 /opt/rtcds
   sudo chown -R 1001:1001 /opt/apps/*
   sudo chown -R 1001:1001 /opt/rtcds/*

3. sudo apt-get install tcsh

4. change default shell to tcsh

5. sudo apt-get install g++

6. Install Matlab with simulink at /opt/apps/linux64/matlab

7. install NFS client as

   sudo apt-get install nfs-common

8. add in /etc/fstab

   standalone:/opt/rtcds   /opt/rtcds      nfs     rw,bg,soft       0       0
   standalone:/opt/rtapps  /opt/rtapps     nfs     rw,bg,soft       0       0
   standalone:/opt/cdscfg  /opt/cdscfg     nfs     rw,bg,soft       0       0

9. add in /etc/hosts

   131.215.113.100 standalone
   131.215.113.110 desktop1

10. sudo reboot

dataviewer compilation

The dataviewer package is now available with the advLigoRTS repository, as it has to be built against the frame-builder libraries. We need to get an export of the advLigoRTS repository to build dataviewer. One method is to do a fresh checkout of the trunk and export that.

1. mkdir /ligo/cds/project/repos
2. mkdir /ligo/cds/project/repos/advLigoRTS
3. cd /ligo/cds/project/repos/advLigoRTS

4. svn co https://redoubt.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/svn/advLigoRTS/trunk --username=<first.last>

5. cd trunk
6. svn export . /ligo/cds/project/RTS-dv
7. cd /ligo/cds/project/RTS-dv
8. cd src/dv
9. edit Makefile to install in /opt/apps/linux64/dataviewer
10. edit Control/dataviewer so DVPATH is set to /opt/apps/linux64/dataviewer
11. sudo apt-get install libXp-dev
12. sudo apt-get install libXpm-dev
13. make
14. make install

metaio installation

• Installed binary package from /daq/software/binary/apps/... in aLIGO DAQ software page.

Root compilation

• 5.26.00 shown in aLIGO CDS page did not work. We installed 5.28.00
