Here are instructions for loading the minimum M&C binaries and associated libraries on a laptop. This allows basic manager testing independent of the GBT M&C system using CLEO (i.e. no IF, no antenna - just basic manager operation). This was done for the KFPA project laptop.

Archive Files

• /home/gbtversions/9.1 (or latest version) - this are the binaries
• /home/gbt1/ygor - support libraries used by M&C and manager code.
• /home/sparrow - presentation layer libraries and exe's.
• /home/gbt7/llama3 (or latest McPython) - libraries used by used by sparrow
• /home/cleoversions/5.2 (or latest version)

mkdir gbt

• I created a gbt dir in the monctrl user home (/export/home/tog/monctrl)

Copy archives to user home and un-tar

• I copied archives to /export/home/tog/monctrl
• M&C binaries -> ./9.1
• ygor code -> ./ygor
• sparrow code -> ./sparrow/9.1
• llama3 -> ./llama3
• Cleo 5.2 -> ./Cleo5.2

Make soft links in gbt dir

• cd to gbt dir
• refer to /home/gbt
• make soft links for apps, bin, exec, glish, lib, sparrow and tcl directories (e.g. apps -> /export/home/tog/monctrl/9.1/apps/ )

Copy scripts to gbt dir

• refer to /home/gbt again
• cp gbt.bash, _installation.conf, setFileModes, setVersion, sv, switchVersion, ygor_system from /home/gbt to gbt dir

Create and populate etc directory

• in gbt dir, mkdir etc, cd to etc, then make config, cores, log, startup, testdata
• I copied /home/etc/config, /home/etc/startup, /home/etc/testdata
• I made a tog subdir in log

Edit scripts

• adjust paths in gbt/gbt.bash
• adjust paths in ygor/ygor.bash
• adjust paths in sparrow/9.1/sparrow.bash
• adjust paths in llama3/McPython.bash

Edit configuration files

• edited gbt/_installation.conf (system_host is only tog)
• edited gbt/etc/config/devices.conf -> only contains ScanCoordinator and RcvrArray18_26
• edited gbt/etc/config/system.conf -> reduced to ScanCoordinatorHost, RcvrArray18_26Host and AccessorHost entries, all set to "tog"
• you can change the system login name here.
• I created togProc.conf and included the processes I wanted, including Accessor, messageMux, ScanCoordinator, Transporter, manager & samplers.

Install Sampler Driver

• follow instructions at /home/gbt1/ygor/drivers/SamlperDriver/Linux
• this requires root

Use the manger with CLEO

• source gbt/gbt.bash
• TaskMaster computername systemstart
• TaskMaster computername status
• cleo

Make gbt1 soft link

• in /home, create a link to the gbt1 directory that has the tcl libraries from /home/gbt1/tcl (i.e. create gbt1->/export/home/tog/monctrl/gbt1 in /home).
