Instructions below are intended as a quick start guide for the impatient who want to install a binary-only ADF distribution. Please refer to the Installation manual for step by step installation instructions. The manual also covers installation of the source code.
Untar the binary files (substitute the real tgz file name):
gzip -cd adf2009.01.bin.tgz | tar xf -
Edit the adfrc.sh and adfrc.csh files found in the ADF installation directory and change values of the ADFHOME, SCMLICENSE, and SCM_TMPDIR environment variables accordingly. After that you can source the relevant file in your shell's environment from your shell's resource file (.bashrc, .profile, etc.). If you are a system administrator and the system supports the /etc/profile.d directory then you can copy both files there. This way, ADF environment will be set up for all users on every login.
To run the programs successfully you need a license file, which we create for you.
To do so we need some technical information that the program generates.
Run the following command:
$ADFBIN/dirac info
and follow the instructions (send us the information just printed). In principle, you will need to send us the information from all machines on which you intend to use the programs from the ADF package.
After receiving your license file, save it somewhere and set the $SCMLICENSE environment variable to the full path-name of the file. If everything is working, you can now remove the tar files.
rm adf2009.01*.tgz
Read the Installation manual for more information. It contains advise on how to optimize your ADF installation for your particular situation. You will also need to read it to configure your installation properly for parallel execution.
