README

This document aims to describe the process of installing a new change to the gbtpipeline environment

What is gbtpipeline

Green Bank Telescope (GBT) calibration and mapping pipeline This will connect to the gbtgridder. Imaging dependencies include idlToSdfits, Obit, parseltongue and AIPS.

Production environments are stored in /home/gbt7/pipeline. Environments can be created using createPipelineEnv.bash

Sequence Diagrams

What happens when someone presses enter on $ gbtpipeline?

    Note left of E: simlink to 'release' to current venv

Loading

Update the production version

Get your changes

ssh pipeline@galileo

cd /home/gbtpipeline/gbt-pipeline
# get the latest updates
git pull origin release_1.5

# if a new release then get the new branch
git checkout release_<release version>
git pull

Create a new venv

ssh monctrl@galileo

cd /home/gbt7/pipeline
# you need the reuirements to make the venv
cp /home/gbtpipeline/gbt-pipeline/requirements.txt .
/home/gbtpipeline/gbt-pipeline/createPipelineEnv.bash gbtpipeline-v<version>-env

Replace the release venv

# if not still in the correct env
ssh monctrl@galileo
cd /home/gbt7/pipeline

rm release
ln -s gbtpipeline-v<version>-env release

All done!

You should be set then. Your new changes and venv will be called by the op/local/bin/gbtpipeline setup. See above for an diagram of that process.
