Set up PSDM software

If you are installing somewhere other than SLAC, follow these instructions to install SLAC's PSDM suite.

All users will need to follow these further instructions to configure pyana.

A test release, which refers to a particular release of the LCLS packages, is represented by a directory in the file system, often called analysis-rel or myrelease. An analysis package within the test release in turn refers to the files implementing the analysis modules of the package. Details about installing of a test release and analysis packages are covered in Analysis Workbook. Quick Tour. Assuming the LCLS software is installed at /reg/d/psdm, the LCLS environment is prepared in a bash(1) shell using

$ . /reg/g/psdm/etc/ana_env.sh

or

% source /reg/g/psdm/etc/ana_env.csh

for a csh(1). Sourcing ana_env.sh or ana_env.csh modifies the environment of the current shell, and would have to be repeated every time a new shell is started. To make the changes persistent, add

test -r /reg/g/psdm/etc/ana_env.sh && . /reg/g/psdm/etc/ana_env.sh

to ~/.bashrc, or

test -r /reg/g/psdm/etc/ana_env.csh && source /reg/g/psdm/etc/ana_env.csh

to ~/.cshrc as appropriate. A test released based on the most current LCLS software is then set up using

$ newrel ana-current myrelease
$ cd myrelease
$ newpkg my_ana_pkg
