Building the ``kaiju`` software on CentOS-Stream 9 ================================================== Introduction ------------ This page provides instructions for building the ``kaiju`` software on an Intel-based CentOS-Stream 9 system. These instructions were developed for using a CentOS-Stream 9 virtual machine running under VirtualBox on a Mac, but the instructions should work for other Linux distributions, although minor changes may be needed, especially if your Linux distribution does no use the ``yum`` package manager. NOTE: These instructions should also work, essentially unchanged, on a RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) system. Step 0: Prepare your system --------------------------- A few tools must be installed on your system before you begin building the ``kaiju`` software. These instructions assume you have permission to use ``sudo`` to install software. .. code-block:: #!shell sudo yum install epel-release sudo yum install make sudo yum install gcc sudo yum install cmake sudo yum install git sudo yum install git-lfs sudo yum install geos-devel Install the Intel compiler suite ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The ``kaiju`` software is developed using the Intel compiler suite, available `here `_. The compiler suite is free, but comes in several optional parts. You will need to install the `Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit `_ and the `Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkit `_. Once installed, this software should be available on your system under ``/opt/intel``. Once the Intel tools are installed, you will need to make them available during the build process. Set up the tools as follows: .. code-block:: #!shell source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh Step 1: Build prerequisite libraries ------------------------------------ NASA CDF library ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The `NASA CDF (Common Data Format) library `_ is used in parts of the ``kaiju`` post-processing software when fetching spacecraft data from `CDAWeb `_. Prior to building the ``kaiju`` software, the CDF library must be built and installed on your system, since it is not available via the ``yum`` package manager. Instructions for building and installing the CDF library on your Mac are available `here `__. HDF5 library ^^^^^^^^^^^^ The `HDF5 `_ file format is used extensively for data storage in the ``kaiju`` software. The HDF5 software is available via ``yum``\ , but this version will not link with the ``kaiju`` software when built with the Intel compiler suite. Prior to building the ``kaiju`` software, the HDF5 library must be built and installed on your system. Instructions for building and installing the HDF5 library on your Mac are available `here `__. NOTE: If you successfully build the ``kaiju`` software using the ``yum``\ -installed version of HDF5 on CentOS-Stream 9, please let us know how you did it! Step 2: Create a python environment ----------------------------------- Most of the ``kaiju`` software for pre-processing, post-processing, and analysis is written in `Python `_. Python is available in many forms (or 'distributions'), but we recommend use of the `Miniconda] distribution `_ for simplicity and compactness. Instructions for installing python and building a python environment on your Mac are available `here `__. Step 3: Compile the ``kaiju`` software ------------------------------------------ The ``kaiju`` software can be built in serial or MPI versions. The serial version should be used when running the code on a single computer. The MPI version should be used when running on an HPC system (a supercomputer). Instructions for building the serial version of the ``kaiju`` software on CentOS-Stream 9 are available `here `__. The MPI version of ``kaiju`` is not supported on CentOS-Stream 9 at this time. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 centos-stream-9_build_cdf centos-stream-9_build_hdf5 centos-stream-9_build_kaiju centos-stream-9_build_python
