How to install/update MARS on HPC clusters.

[ES3]

Build or update MARS:

1. Download the latest package from http://mars.es3inc.com/protected/MARS/ (e.g. mars2015.0.53.RedHat5&6.tgz) to a folder on your cluster where you want to build the MARS executables. Notice: make sure to choose the correct package according to your Linux operation system.
2. Under shell prompt, unzip the package to current folder:

   Code: Select all

   tar zxvf mars2015.0.53.RedHat5&6.tgz

3. If you are developing user defined features with your own user.cpp, replace the one downloaded with your copy.
4. Compile debug version of MARS (marsD) using

   Code: Select all

   make V=D

   or, compile OpenMP version (marsO) using

   Code: Select all

   make V=O

   or, compile MPI version (marsM) using

   Code: Select all

   make V=M

5. Add

   Code: Select all

   export PATH=[path_to_mars_folder]:$PATH

   to ~/.bash_profile (be sure to replace [path_to_mars_folder] with the real path which includes the MARS executable you just compiled).
6. Run

   Code: Select all

   source ~/.bash_profile

   in shell prompt to update PATH.

Notice: step 5~6 only needs to be done before the first time you run MARS.
