MSI-Setup script

To get started in the shared mccue-lab MSI environment, sign into MSI and execute the following commands:

mkdir -p ~/Codes
cd ~/Codes
git clone [email protected]:UMNPonyClub/MSI-Setup.git
cd MSI-Setup/
source ./setup.sh

Shared Directives

There are several shared directives that we agreed to follow as a group to maximize efficiency of MSI computing space.

Shared space

We currently have a shared directory for group programs and collaborative projects. It is located at /home/mccuem/shared. All things in the shared space will be enforced group readable and directories will be enforced to be group writable.

Shared programs

There are shared binaries/programs/libraries installed at /home/mccuem/shared/.local These programs will be put at the front of your PATH variable.

Project specific environments

Sometimes sharing is not enough. e.g. you might need a different program or version of program installed than what is in the system folder. To do this we will use virtual Anaconda environments. You can see which environments are available with:

conda env list

You can activate a particular environmnent with:

source activate <env-name>

Where <env-name> is replaced with a valid environment.
