This guide shows the steps required for creating a complete deployment of the OpenCMT software for develpment and tests. 

Setup for CentOS 7

System setup

The basic requirement for the next recipe is working on a clean Virtual Machine with CentOS 7 operating system. These steps must be executed by root:

1. Be sure to have an updated version of the system, with the EPEL extension enabled

   No Format
   sudo yum -y install wget epel-release sudo yum -y update

   
   

2. Install the CA certificate required by the internal software repositories

   No Format

   sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/EGI-trustanchors.repo http://repository.egi.eu/sw/production/cas/1/current/repo-files/EGI-trustanchors.repo sudo yum -y install ca-policy-egi-core sudo ln -s /etc/grid-security/certificates/USERTrustRSACertificationAuthority.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ sudo ln -s /etc/grid-security/certificates/GEANTeScienceSSLCA4.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ sudo update-ca-trust extract

   
   

3. Install the metadata for the internal software repositories (GEANT4, and CMT)

   No Format
   sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/geant4.repo https://cld-smact-02.pd.infn.it/artifacts/repository/muotom-repo-files/geant4.repo sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/cmt.repo https://cld-smact-02.pd.infn.it/artifacts/repository/muotom-repo-files/cmt.repo

   
   

4. Install the tools and libraries required by the CMT software

   No Format
   sudo yum -y install git gcc-c++ make cmake3 doxygen geant4-vmc-mt-devel cmt-ulib-devel root-graf3d-eve xorg-x11-xauth mesa-dri-drivers

   
   

5. Since the GEANT4 package does not contain the particle data sets, download the required files from central repository

   No Format
   sudo geant4-dataset-download

   
   

VNC server setup

If it is necessary to install a VNC server on the virtual machine the steps required are the following:

1.  Install the graphic environment

   No Format
   sudo yum -y check-update sudo yum -y groupinstall "X Window System" sudo yum -y install gnome-classic-session gnome-terminal nautilus-open-terminal control-center liberation-mono-fonts sudo unlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target sudo ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

   
   

2. Reboot the virtual machine

   No Format
   sudo reboot

   
   

3. Install the VNC server

   No Format
   sudo yum -y install tigervnc-server sudo cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service

   
   

4. In the file /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service replace <USER> with the current user (centos)

5. Create a password for accessing the VNC server

   No Format
   vncpasswd

   and set the same password for the current user (centos)

6. Configure the VNC server (file $HOME/.vnc/config), this is a basic setup:

   No Format
   # securitytypes=vncauth,tlsvnc # desktop=sandbox geometry=1920x1080 # localhost # alwaysshared bs

   
   

7. Activate the service and the firewall setup

   No Format
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable vncserver@:1.service sudo systemctl start vncserver@:1.service sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service vnc-server sudo systemctl restart firewalld.service

   
   

Setup for CentOS 8

System setup

The basic requirement for the next recipe is working on a clean Virtual Machine with CentOS 8 operating system. These steps must be executed by root:

1. Be sure to have an updated version of the system, with the EPEL extension enabled 

   No Format
   sudo yum -y update sudo yum -y install epel-release yum-utils wget sudo yum-config-manager --set-enabled powertools sudo yum-config-manager --set-enabled appstream

   
   

2. Install the CA certificate required by the internal software repositories 

   No Format

   sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/EGI-trustanchors.repo http://repository.egi.eu/sw/production/cas/1/current/repo-files/EGI-trustanchors.repo sudo yum -y install ca-policy-egi-core sudo ln -s /etc/grid-security/certificates/USERTrustRSACertificationAuthority.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ sudo ln -s /etc/grid-security/certificates/GEANTeScienceSSLCA4.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ sudo update-ca-trust extract

   
   

3. Install the metadata for the internal software repositories (GEANT4, and CMT) 

   No Format
   sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/root.repo https://cld-smact-02.pd.infn.it/artifacts/repository/repo-files/root-c17.repo sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/muotom.repo https://cld-smact-02.pd.infn.it/artifacts/repository/muotom-repo-files/muotom.repo

   
   

4. Install the tools and libraries required by the CMT software 

   No Format
   sudo yum install git gcc-c++ make cmake doxygen geant4-vmc-mt-devel cmt-ulib-devel root-graf3d-eve xorg-x11-xauth mesa-dri-drivers pcl-devel vim-enhanced rpm-build

   
   

5. Since the GEANT4 package does not contain the particle data sets, download the required files from central repository 

   No Format
   sudo geant4-dataset-download

   
   

VNC server setup

If it is necessary to install a VNC server on the virtual machine the steps required are the following:

1. Install the graphic environment 

   No Format
   sudo yum -y check-update sudo yum -y groupinstall "Server with GUI" sudo systemctl set-default graphical

   
   

2. Reboot the virtual machine 

   No Format
   sudo reboot

   
   

3. Install the VNC server 

   No Format
   sudo yum -y install tigervnc-server

   
   

4. Register the current user, for example centos, in the users configuration file (/etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users). Just add the following line: 

   No Format
   :1=centos

   
   

5. Create a password for accessing the VNC server 

   No Format
   vncpasswd

   and set the same password for the current user

6. Configure the VNC server (file $HOME/.vnc/config), this is a basic setup: 

   No Format
   # securitytypes=vncauth,tlsvnc # desktop=sandbox geometry=1920x1080 # localhost # alwaysshared bs

   
   

7. Activate the service 

   No Format
   sudo systemctl enable vncserver@:1.service sudo systemctl start vncserver@:1.service

   
   

Storage setup

The data for tests are available via NFS, add this row to the file /etc/fstab

10.64.18.250:/data/brickOpenstack/muon-steel/sdb /mnt/muotom-data nfs defaults 0 0

then create the directory and mount the endpoint

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/muotom-data
sudo chmod a+rx /mnt/muotom-data
sudo mount -a
