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.

scramv1 setup -i cxxcompiler << EOF
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/c++
EOF

scramv1 setup -i f77compiler << EOF
/usr
/usr/bin/g77
EOF

scramv1 setup -i ccompiler << EOF
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/c++

scramv1 setup pythia
