Setting up environment
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
Make sure to create directory where Kepler installations will be stored (ITMWORK is a preffered place)
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
mkdir $ITMWORK/my_keplers
# it might be convenient to create symbolic link inside HOME as well
ln -s "$ITMWORK/my_keplers" my_keplers |
And make sure to export KEPLER_DIR variable that points to this location
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
# for tcsh, put following command inside .cshrc
setenv KEPLER_DIR $ITMWORK/my_keplers
# for bash, put following command inside .bashrc
export KEPLER_DIR=$ITMWORK/my_keplers |
Using helper scripts for Kepler installation
By default, you have access to helper scripts that make it easier to install and maintain Kepler installations
| script | arguments/options | purpose |

| list_keplers.sh |
| list available keplers |
| install_kepler.sh |
target_dir: chosen directory name inside $KEPLER_DIR | installs local or central keplers |
