1. Running Kepler using IMAS environment

1.1. Setting up environment

1.1.1. Backing up old files

Before first configuration of Kepler, make sure to backup your old data files

cd ~ 
mv .kepler .kepler~
mv KeplerData KeplerData~
mv .ptolemyII .ptolemyII~

1.1.2. Creating place to store your personal installations of Kepler

IMAS based installations are stored inside $HOME/kepler directory. Due to fact that ITM environment uses $HOME/kepler in slightly different way, we have decided to use kepler_imas instead.

Please note that this approach might be a subject to a change.

Before proceeding further, make sure to create kepler_imas directory

# create directory inside $ITMWORK and create symbolic link
# inside your HOME directory
 
mkdir $ITMWORK/kepler_imas
cd ~
ln -s $ITMWORK/kepler_imas

1.1.3. Switch to IMAS environment

In order to switch to IMAS environment you have use helper script that will unload ITM modules and will load IMAS related modules

  • switch from ITM module to IMAS module

    module unload itmenv
module load imasenv
imasdb <machine_name>

    OR

  • purge all modules and load "clean" IMAS environment

    module purge
module load cineca
module load imasenv
imasdb <machine_name>

1.1.4. Installing Kepler inside your private location

To get Kepler installed, simply run

kepler_install_light

This script will put current IMAS installation inside $HOME/kepler_imas

1.1.5. Start Kepler

# run alias that will execute Kepler
 
kepler.sh
