Installing EventStore

ES Tools Installation

To use the EventStore tool programs, first check out the source tree from

svn ls https://halldsvn.jlab.org/repos/trunk/home/sdobbs/EventStore/

Note that these tools rely on the GlueX sim-recon package, since that contains the libraries used to read HDDM files.

Then follow these steps:

1. Make sure BMS_OSNAME is set - it should be if you've set up the standard GlueX environment.
2. Edit EventStore/setup.[c]sh to set EVENTSTORE_BASE (todo: set this automatically) and source the script
3. These scripts require at least python 2.7. The standard version on the CUE is still python 2.6. A script for configuring python 2.7 on the CUE is given as EventStore/setup_python27_jlab.[c]sh
4. Run EventStore/install_external_packages.csh . This downloads some external python packages from the web server, compiles, and installs them locally.
