Running Kepler using IMAS environment

Setting up environment

export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xss20m -Xms8g -Xmx8g"

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~

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 $ITMWORK/kepler_imas$HOME
 
cd ~
lnmkdir -s $ITMWORK/kepler_imas

...

Running Kepler (default release)
