- First, see the the "Getting Started in UT ATLAS" page. You'll need an account on the UT ATLAS cluster.
- Once you have your account, open a terminal window (linux), the Terminal application (OSX), or download and install an Xterm application for Windows (for example, MobaXterm is a good one, and free).
- On the command line
sshinto one of thetaumachines, for examplessh -X -Y YOUR_USER_NAME@top1.hep.utexas.edu - You should now have a command prompt on the machine. To make sure you can open an X-Window try
xclock. You should see a little clock open in a window. You can kill the clock withCtrl-C, or useCtrl-Zand thenbgif you'd like to keep it running in the background. (Here's a useful and brief overview of linux commands.) - Now take a look at what is in your
.bashrcfile. This is a list of commands that run whenever you log in. You can edit it withemacs .bashrc &. (More about emacs can be found in this emacs tour.) - You should make sure (add) the following lines to this file:
<code>
atlas.cern.ch/repo/ATLASLocalRootBase/Code Block language bash export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/cvmfs/
export ALRB_localConfigDir=/code/localConfig
. /cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/ATLASLocalRootBase/user/atlasLocalSetup.sh
