Flames-UVES Pipeline on Mac OS X

Keywords: MIDAS, FLAMES, UVES, pipeline, Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger, Intel
 
Here is a script to download, install and test (by running the tutorials) the FLAMES-UVES MIDAS pipeline version 2.2.0: download script
Download, then in a terminal:
chmod u+rx macOSX.install.fluves-2.2.0
./macOSX.install.fluves-2.2.0
To see all command line options:
./macOSX.install.fluves-2.2.0 -h
Note: the script should work for any MIDAS installation, provided you have available the same (or at least compatible) compilers that were used to compile MIDAS. If you have trouble with compiling and linking against SciSoft you may want to check my this page for suggestions on installing MIDAS locally.

Source files, wget or download manually

If you don't have wget but do want to install it see here.

If you don't have wget and don't want to install it, you can download the source files manually, save them all into the same directory and then specify this directory with the -S option on the command line for macOSX.install.fluves-2.2.0.

The files you need are:
  1. fluves_cdrom_2.2.0.tar.gz
  2. patch.fluves_cdrom_2.2.0.setup.sh
  3. patch.uves-2.2.0.gcc-4
Actually although the last patch is "labelled" with gcc-dp-4.2 (i.e. the MacPorts gcc-4.2 compiler) this is generic and should work with any gcc compiler.

Verification

By default if no individual build step options (i.e. -bf etc) are specified, or if the -bv command line option is specified then the script will verify the installation by running the UVES and FLAMES tutorials.

Running the UVES tutorial will result in the creation of approximately 705Mb of temporary files (in fluves/tmp/uves.tutorial) which can subsequently be deleted.

Running the FLAMES tutorial will result in the creation of approximately 2.5Gb of temporary files (in fluves/tmp/flames.tutorial) which can subsequently be deleted.

Disk Usage

All source files will require 702Mb, once extracted, compiled and verified the fluves directory will occupy 4.5Gb which will reduce to 1.7Gb once the uves.tutorial and flames.tutorial directories have been deleted. A further 1.2Gb can be removed by deleteing the fluves/ex (examples, 659Mb) and fluves/tutorial (tutorial and test data and procedures, 597Mb).
