Computing environment setup¶
This page walks through the initial setup and installation steps to configure the computing environment used for this analysis. It is assumed that you are currently logged onto one of the IceCube cobalt testbed machines.
Cloning the analysis repository¶
The code for this analysis is hosted on GitHub. A copy of the analysis repository can be cloned to your local machine using git clone
git clone https://github.com/jrbourbeau/cr-composition.git
This will create a cr-composition/ directory containing the analysis code which you can then cd into.
cd cr-composition
Setting up the CVMFS toolset¶
To configure the system level dependencies we’ll use the py2-v3 toolset in the IceCube CVMFS
eval $(/cvmfs/icecube.opensciencegrid.org/py2-v3/setup.sh)
This will set up many system-wide tools for us to use (e.g. Python 2.7.13).
Creating a virtual environment¶
Next we’ll set up a virtual Python environment using virtualenv to install our Python dependencies.
virtualenv --prompt="(cr-composition) " /path/to/virtualenv
source /path/to/virtualenv/bin/activate
Here, /path/to/virtualenv should be replaced with wherever you’d like your virtual environment to be installed. To activate the virtual environment, use
source /path/to/virtualenv/bin/activate
Installing Python dependencies¶
The Python dependencies for this analysis are listed in requirements.txt. They, along with the comptools Python pacakge, can be installed using pip
pip install -e .
Building the IceCube software¶
We’ll make use of the icerec metaproject in conjunction with the weighting and corsika-reader projects. The specific version used are listed below.
| Project name | Version |
|---|---|
| icerec | V05-01-05 |
| weighting | V00-02-01 |
| corsika-reader | V00-01-02 |
The source code for these projects can be retrieved from the IceCube SVN repository using the following commands
mkdir /path/to/icecube/software
cd /path/to/icecube/software
svn co http://code.icecube.wisc.edu/svn/meta-projects/icerec/releases/V05-01-05 src
svn co http://code.icecube.wisc.edu/svn/projects/weighting/releases/V00-02-01 src/weighting
svn co http://code.icecube.wisc.edu/svn/projects/corsika-reader/releases/V00-01-02 src/corsika-reader
Above /path/to/icecube/software should be replaced with wherever you’d like the IceCube software to be installed. The source code can be compiled into the build/ directory via
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=11 ../src
make
