Install CMS software

Follow the steps below to install the CMS package <package> on Debian (e.g. <package>=ORCA_8_13_0).

• Upgrade to Debian Sid
• Create some symbolic links:
  • ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake
  • ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7    /usr/lib/libssl.so.4
  • ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4
• Download rpms
  • cd <download-directory>
  • =wget http://cmsdoc.cern.ch/cms/oo/repos_standalone/download/download/download.sh=
  • ./download.sh <package>
• Install
  • cd XCMSInstall
  • setenv VO_CMS_SW_DIR <install-directory>
  • ./cmsi.pl -c default     -f cmsset.csh
  • ./cmsi.pl -d "<package>" -f cmsset.csh -g config
• Save cmsset.csh for later use
  • before working with CMS software, each time source cmsset.csh in order to set necessary variables
• For running on Debian Sid, cxxcompiler, f77compiler and ccompiler have to be reconfigured to use the compiler of the machine. In addition, for ORCA_8_13_0, pythia has to be set up.
