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

# for Bash, make sure to call
 
source $ITMSCRIPTDIR/set_tutorial_env.sh
 
# for tcsh, make sure to call
 
source $ITMSCRIPTDIR/set_tutorial_env.tcsh
 
# In the background, to make things more convenient, set of modules will be loaded for you
# module load gateway
# module load python
# module load imas/3.7.3
# module load imas-kepler
# module load imas-fc2k

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
