InSANE
Written by Whitney Armstrong (whit@temple.edu)
Introduction
InSANE is a set of C++ shared libraries which are usefull for doing data analysis and performing calculations in nuclear/particle physics. The libraries easily link into the ROOT framework and stand alone programs.
Installation
Prerequisites
Collaborators please see below about building on the farm.
ROOT
Make sure to build root with python enabled:
cd $ROOTSYS
./configure --enable-python
makeCLHEP - A Class Library for High Energy Physics.
This library provides InSANE mainly the system of units (which are the same as GEANT4) and physical constants.
TODO: Use new version of CLHEP or remove this dependency
CMake
CMake build system.
LHAPDF - The Les Houches Accord PDF Interface
Note this has not been tested with version 6! During the install it is recommended that you configure with the low memory option.
./configure --prefix=/path/to/directory --enable-low-memoryThis will later be optional...
MySQL
Database used for experimental analysis side.
Building on the farm
A version of LHAPDF is installed into my home directory along with my latest build of InSANE so you can just that build if you would like. This should get you most of the way there:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/whit/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/whit/libOn the farm you can find various builds under
/site/12gev_physDownloading InSANE
git clone ssh://git@github.com/whit2333/InSANE.gitConfiguring your environment.
You should set the following environment variables in your .bashrc or equivalent shell commands.
export InSANEDIR=/path/to/InSANE # the location of the source NOT the build directory
export InSANE_PDF_GRID_DIR=$InSANEDIR/main/grid
export PYTHONPATH=$InSANEDIR/lib:$PYTHONPATH:$InSANEDIR/pythonBuilding
Since cmake is used as the build system you should make a directory outside of the InSANE directory Once the environment is configured you can build. Here is an example which installs to the user home directory. It will copy all the libraries to $HOME/lib, headers to $HOME/bin, and binaries to $HOME/bin
mkdir insane_build
git clone ssh://git@github.com/whit2333/InSANE.git
cd insane_build
cmake ../InSANE/. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME
make [-jN]
make installIf you choose to install into a non-standard location you will likely need to add this directory to the path and ld linking path. For our example above it would be
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/libIf you make changes to the source code and want to recompile
cd insane_build
make [-jN] # this will recompile only the files that changed and their dependencies
make install # if all goes wellUsing with root
Add to your .rootlogon.C
