First, ensure that the release you want to work with is the current one, as such:

  ls -l /home/daqowner/dist
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 daqowner daq 25 Sep  5 09:56 /home/daqowner/dist -> /home/daqowner/daq.11.5.2

If the release is not correct, install as necessary per instructions below, or just run pickRelease.sh to set it.

Follow instructions from Jeremy (substitute current release number)

To install on a teststand (as daqowner) :
       wget http://cmshcalweb01.cern.ch/hcalsw/release/installDAQ_11_5_2.perl
       perl installDAQ_11_5_2.perl --mode=teststand
       ~daqowner/common/bin/pickRelease.sh (choose 11.5.2)

You can make a code-development area on a teststand or USC using:
       perl installDAQ_11_5_2.perl --mode=[teststand|usc] --ownsource=${HOME}/src/11_5_2 --packages=hcalUpgrade --cvsuser=[your afs id]

If you want to use anonymous CVS (not password prompts), edit the script, search for "anonymous" and remove the comment mark.

After the correct release is installed and made current (/home/daqowner/dist symlink) and you have the correct source tree installed using --ownsource, proceed:

source ~daqowner/dist/etc/env.sh  _or_ source ~daqowner/dist/etc/env.csh
setenv PYTHONPATH $ROOTSYS/lib:$PYTHONPATH _or_ export PYTHONPATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$PYTHONPATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${PWD}/lib/linux/x86_64_slc5/ _or_ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${PWD}/lib/linux/x86_64_slc5/

perl ~/installDAQ_xx_x_x.perl --mode=teststand --ownsource=${HOME}/src/xx_x_x --packages=hcalUpgrade

cd src/xx_xx_xx/hcal/hcalUpgrade/
cvs update -A -d       (optional, if you want CVS code updated since the release)
cd ipbus
make
cd ..
cd amc13
make
cd ..
make
source environ.sh     (maybe only needed for python)

To run the command-line tool:

./bin/linux/x86_64_slc5/AMC13Tool.exe

To make changes in the code (your private copy):

cd src/common

edit files as desired. Go back up to .../amc13 and Make to re-compile.
