This page contains instructions on how to install different CACTUS builds on supported operating systems. Many of these same instructions can be found the CACTUS wiki at
https://svnweb.cern.ch/trac/cactus/wiki/
On SLC5 (Scientific Linux CERN)
CACTUS installation on SLC5 is supported by RPM/YUM
- Download the CACTUS repo file
- Copy the repo file to
/etc/yum.repos.d
sudo cp cactus.repo /etc/yum.repos.d
- Install the software using YUM
sudo yum groupinstall cactus
- When installation is complete, then the CACTUS software package should be in
/opt/cactus
--+++ On SL5 (Scientific Linux)
CACTUS installation on SL5 is
not supported by RPM/YUM and must be done manually.
- Install the prerequisites for the installation using YUM
-
sudo yum -y install bzip2-devel zlib-devel ncurses-devel python-devel
- Check out the code from SVN.
svn co https://svn.cern.ch/reps/cactus/trunk
- Make sure you move it to the desired CACTUS root directory, which can be anywhere you have access to. In the following steps, I will just assume the code has been checked out into the user's home directory.
- Go the 'trunk' directory of the CACTUS code and build the package
cd ~/trunk/
make
