or CPT's wonderful journey through the installer towards getting IMAS on new platforms.

Disclaimer: all example steps given below are assuming BASH being your shell of choice. 

IMAS

Installing main dependencies

Follow the list of requirements/dependencies as stored in https://git.iter.org/projects/IMAS/repos/access-layer/browse/README.md

Add modules to set them up in the environment.

Getting the IMAS installer

Clone the installer using either master (recommended) or develop branch (at your own risk)

git clone ssh://git@git.iter.org/imas/installer.git

Configuring

Create target directory where all IMAS related tools will be deployed (will be referenced as IMAS_HOME from now on).

Adapt site-config/Makefile.default to the local configuration and needs. Look at tools/imas-config.in to try to guess how to name your own site-config file, and/or check which files are being targeted by running 

DEBUG=1 ./tools/imas-config.in

Check if configuration is generating the expected setting for the targeted DD and AL tags by running

make cache
make help TAG_DD=a.b.c TAG_AL=x.y.z

Building and installing

After making sure that compile time required modules are loaded, simply run, for given DD and AL versions

make install TAG_DD=a.b.c TAG_AL=x.y.z

IDStools

Getting the sources

Clone the idstools repo (from IMAS Core project, not from IMAS Extra...)

ssh://git@git.iter.org/imas/idstools.git

Configuring

Create site-config file with same name used for the installer, and specify there the name of the IMAS module and the targeted idstools module name. 

Make sure you have IMAS module loaded before attempting the build (it sets required IMAS_HOME variable and imas-config-installer).

Check if configuration is well set by checking the result of 

make help

Building and installing

make all
make install

FC2K

Installing main dependencies

Requires ant and JaxFront

Getting the sources

Clone the fc2k repo from IMAS extra project

git clone ssh://git@git.iter.org/imex/fc2k.git

Configuring

Create two config files under the config directory:

• config/install_xxxx.xml will contain information for building/installing fc2k
• config/settings_xxxx.xml will contain information required when using fc2k to build actors

Once these files have been created, use imas-config-fc2k command to check if correct settings file is detected. For install file, link the one created as config/install_default.xml (or how to force ant to use the xxxx one, so we can avoid obtaining a "-dirty" version?).

Check configuration by

ant check-config

Building and installing

ant compile
ant install

XMLlib

Kepler

git clone https://g2bpalak@gforge6.eufus.eu/git/imasscripts

Example with real steps followed on IPP's tok cluster.

• Installing Saxon-HE from https://sourceforge.net/projects/saxon/files/Saxon-HE/9.9/SaxonHE9-9-1-5J.zip/download
• Installing Blitz++ from https://github.com/blitzpp/blitz
  • specify --with-pic to configure step
• Installing more recent version of MDSplus from https://github.com/MDSplus/mdsplus (stable release 7.84.8)
  • requires building the python interface in order to allow conversion with ualport.py

• Updating tools/imas-config.in

• Requires JAVA_HOME to be set so the Makefile can find JNI headers

• Because the target install dir (/afs/.ipp/...) is not the final one (/afs/ipp/...) the generated module should be patched
