Setup CDS software on Workstations

Setup

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 

Installation

EPICS installation

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

fftw installation

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

grace installation

• Installed binary package from a standard package using sudo apt-get install grace.

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

GDS compilation

GDS is also maintained in a CDS Subversion repository. So, as with dataviewer, we will checkout the gds repository, export it, and build from there. The configure will use some switches to limit the build to non-DMT tools and to add EPICS tools.

1. mkdir /ligo/cds/project/repos/gds
2. cd /ligo/cds/project/repos/gds

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

4. cd trunk
5. svn export . /ligo/cds/project/gds-2.14.2
6. cd /ligo/cds/project/gds-2.14.2
7. ./bootstrap
8. export GDSBUILD=online

9. ./configure --prefix=/opt/apps/linux64/gds-2.15.0 --enable-only-dtt --with-epics=/opt/apps/linux64/epics

10. make
11. make install
12. cd /opt/apps/linux64/
13. ln -s gds-2.15.0 gds

TDS installation

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

Not installed software

• Software shown in aLIGO CDS page, we did not install framecpp, FrameL(libframe), MATLAB tools(mDV, awgstream, ligoDV), and Useful tools(ligotools, sunutils).

How to put icon on panel bar

1. Make a Custom Application Launcher by right click on panel bar and select Add to Panel. In "Command" put like

   tcsh -c 'cd /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/medm/ && /opt/apps/linux64/epics/extensions/bin/linux-x86_64/medm -displayFont fixed -x'
