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

module unload itmenv
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
