Linux Command Line Installer
The Linux command line installer can be used to download and install binaries of the GLAST external libraries and packages.
| Notice: The GLAST code has not been released to the public and is for use by members of the LAT Collaboration only! |
Note: You can get the current release version of the installer from:
http://www-glast.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs/grits-perl/infraBin/
- Perl
- DBI Perl module
- Pod::Usage Perl module
- Getopt::Long Perl module
Note: If you already have Perl, you probably already have the "Pod" and "Getopt" modules. Verify that you also have the standard database interface (DBI) module.

| installer.pl --command install --package GlastRelease --version LATEST1.919 --tag rh9_gcc32 --instDir /tmp --pkgOnly |
Same as above, except no external libraries are installed. |
| installer.pl --command install --package GlastRelease --version LATEST1.919 --tag rh9_gcc32 --instDir /tmp --extOnly |

| installer.pl --command install --package rootlibs-glastrelease --version v6r8 --tag rh9_gcc32opt --extDir $HOME/yourWorkDirectory |
This command string installs the rootlibs corresponding to GlastRelease version v6r8 in your work directory. To install rootlibs for EngineeringModel, replace rootlibs-glastrelease with rootlibs-engineeringmodel. |
| installer.pl --command listPackages --tag rh9_gcc32 --package CMT |
Enter this command string first to check the versions available using the installer listPackages command, then enter: |
| installer.pl --command install --package CMT --version v1r16p20040701 --extDir C:\glast\tools --tag rh9_gcc32 --extOnly |
to install the desired version of CMT. |
Note: After CMT is installed on your computer, add CMT to your PATH environment variable.
