[edit] Installing a Kit
(See the Workbook section.)
(If you are installing for a site, you may want to also see the sections on Multi-release and Mirroring)
The ATLAS software is distributed in the form of Pacman kits. A list with releases status is also available. Note that you do not need to install Pacman - you can use the afs version at CERN instead.
Do look for the closest mirror to install the Kit - it is about 7 GB in size (as of Oct 2007) ! Note that the kits do not have the source code; they contain the shared libraries, header files and configurations that will allow you to link and run an application.
For example:
mkdir Kits cd Kits source /afs/cern.ch/atlas/software/pacman/pacman-latest/setup.sh mkdir 13.0.20 13.0.20 yes | pacman -get am-BNL:13.0.20+KV >& install.log &
will install the kit for release 13.0.20 and validate it ( that is what +KV means).
[edit] Validating a Kit
Do validate the kit when you install it .
At this stage, you should be able to link and run a job on your local machine as detailed in the workbook.
