SFT Packages (localSetupSFT)

This is for power users or advanced users who need to setup LCG External packages standalone (i.e. outside Athena). These packages are available in the cvmfs sft repository and ATLASLocalRootBase provides a menu option to set this up. For usage, please type

localSetupSFT --help

What is Setup

Only gcc and python will be setup; no other dependencies will be setup automatically. It is the user’s responsibility to setup any other dependent packages through localSetupSFT.

Available Packages

showVersions sft will show all available lcg external packages and versions.

If you have either Athena or standalone ROOT setup, it will show only those available for that cmtconfig value.

Alternately, you can specify

showVersions sft --cmtConfig=<value>

where value should be one of these ATLAS supported ones:

• i686-slc5-gcc43-opt
• x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt
• x86_64-slc6-gcc47-opt
• x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt

Note that there are many packages listed - some of which you should not setup (e.g. Grid related, ROOT, XROOTD, Python, gcc - which are already provided in the main menu when you type setupATLAS or done transparently for you). Rather than restrict these, I assume you are a power user who knows what you are doing !

# example: a snapshot of what is available in Feb 2014; this will change.

$ showVersions sft

Setup

• Type setupATLAS to setup the ATLASLocalRootBase UI if you have not already done it.
• If you need Athena or standalone ROOT, set that up first so that the cmtconfig value from this will be used automatically in the next steps.
• Get a version of the lcg external package you want to setup as described in the previous section.
• Set up (you may need to specify the option -cmtConfig if you do not have Athena or standalone ROOT setup first):
  • localSetupSFT <package version>
  • note that you can setup multiple packages, delimit them with commas.
• Note that you may need to setup additional environment variables which you can access through the conveniently defined $SFT_HOME_<package> environment variable (listed in the output when setup).
• The setups only define generic environments - such as the PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PYTHONPATH. If you think others need to be defined (and is not convenient to use through $SFT_HOME_<package>), let us know.

Examples

Boost

eg for a native SL6 version,

$ showVersions sft --cmtConfig=x86_64-slc6-gcc47-opt | grep -i boost
 external/Boost/1.50.0_python2.7
 external/Boost/1.53.0_python2.7

$ localSetupSFT --cmtConfig=x86_64-slc6-gcc47-opt external/Boost/1.50.0_python2.7

pyanalysis (numpy, scipy, etc)

eg for a native SL6 version (note additional lapack and blas packages)

$ showVersions sft --cmtConfig=x86_64-slc6-gcc47-opt | grep -i -e pyanalysis -e lapack -e blas
 external/blas/20110419
