View source for Setting up Ganga for use at Nikhef

== Setup the correct environment ==
Only use slc5 machines if you want to use Dirac, parret is now also slc5.

Dirac needs server certificates to work. They are installed, but 2 environment variables must be set to point Dirac to where they are. This is done for you in a simple script prepared by Gerhard. 
*Put the following into your login script:
<pre>
source /project/bfys/lhcb/sw/setup.sh
</pre>
*Remove any other sourcing of LbLogin scripts from your startup scripts and from private scripts to setup the LHCb software.
*The setup script must be sourced in your startup script if you want to run LHCb software jobs on stoomboot.

== Run only the first time you ever use Ganga ==
Generate a default configuration file
<pre>
SetupProject Ganga
ganga -g
</pre>

Edit ${HOME}/.gangarc and make the following changes:
* Look for [PBS] , uncomment submit_res_pattern and change it into: 
<pre>
submit_res_pattern = ^(?P<id>\d*)\.allier\.nikhef\.nl
</pre>
* Look for [DIRAC], change AllowedPlatforms:
<pre>
AllowedPlatforms = ['slc4_ia32_gcc34', 'x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt']
</pre>

== Run once for every new ganga version ==
Setting up the user directory
<pre>
SetupProject Ganga --build-env
</pre>

== To start Ganga: ==
In a fresh shell
<pre>
SetupProject Ganga
ganga
</pre>
