SL7 Quick Install
Here are the instructions for the quickest install of Off-the-Shelf DAQ on Scientific Linux 7. The result will be a folder called ots/ with the source code updated and compiled (please let us know if you have problems by opening a ticket here if you have issues):
# Find a Scientific Linux 7 machine, and download the install script here: otsdaq_utilities/tools/quick_ots_install.sh
# If you have root access, switch to root, if not you can try running as yourself (but if it fails, you will need root access):
cd /where/you/want/your/ots/folder # e.g. cd ~/
mv /where/you/downloaded/the/script . # move the downloaded quick_ots_install.sh script to this folder
ksu # (optional) to become root superuser, if you can
chmod 755 quick_ots_install.sh # to make the installer executable
./quick_ots_install.sh # to run the installer
- That’s it. Read the printouts at the end of the installation for next steps, or go to otsdaq.fnal.gov for running otsdaq and tutorials.
- If you want to add more repositories to your installation try this:
mrb g <name of repo> #eg. mrb g artdaq_utilities
# mrb g -h for options should generically work for all repos, but there is an ots helper script too:
# source ots_get_and_fix_repo.sh <repo name> <project name> <folder name for local repo creation>
# for example:
# source ots_get_and_fix_repo.sh components-epics components otsdaq_epics
...
# when done adding repos, do this:
mrb uc # to fix your CMakelists to include your repository modifications
mrb z # to clean build
