Setting up HCANA and NPSlib, nps_replay Instructions

• Fork a git repo from https://github.com/JeffersonLab/hcana
• Fork a git repo from https://github.com/JeffersonLab/NPSlib
• Fork a git repo from https://github.com/JeffersonLab/nps_replay

Starting on the cdaqll machine

• login into cdaql1 through the gateway
• module use /apps/modulefiles/
• module load cmake
• source /apps/root/PRO/bin/thisroot.csh
• git clone https://github.com/markkjones/hcana
• cd hcana
• git submodule init
• git submodule update
• cd ..
• cmake -B hcana-build -S hcana -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=hcana-install
• cmake --build hcana-build -j12
• cmake --install hcana-build/
• setenv PATH pwd/hcana-install/bin:$PATH
• git clone https://github.com/markkjones/NPSlib
• cmake -B NPSlib-build -S NPSlib -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=hcana-install
• cmake --build NPSlib-build/
• cmake --install NPSlib-build/
• setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/cdaq/nps-2023/hcana-install/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
• git clone https://github.com/markkjones/nps_replay

Starting on the cdaql3 machines (old)

• • login into cdaql3 through the gateway
  • cd /data1/cdaq/eel108
  • mkdir "name" ( make a subdirectory with your "name")
  • cd "name"
  • git clone https://github.com/"githubUserName"/hcana
  • cd hcana
  • git submodule init
  • git submodule update
  • git remote add --track develop upstream https://github.com/JeffersonLab/hcana
  • source /apps/root/PRO/setroot_CUE.csh
  • scons

Starting on the ifarm machines

• • login into ifarm
  • cd /group/nps
  • mkdir "name" ( make a subdirectory with your "name")
  • cd "name"
  • git clone https://github.com/"githubUserName"/hcana
  • cd hcana
  • git submodule init
  • git submodule update
  • git remote add --track develop upstream https://github.com/JeffersonLab/hcana
  • source /apps/root/PRO/setroot_CUE.csh
  • module load scons
  • scons -j8
• Now you have a working hcana binary.

Setting up NPS replay directory instructions

• Fork a git repo from https://github.com/JeffersonLab/nps_replay

Starting on the cdaql3 machines:

• • login into cdaql3 through the gateway
  • if you have not set up you own subdirectory:
    • cd /data1/cdaq/eel108
    • mkdir "name" ( make a subdirectory with your "name")
    • cd "name"
  • if you have subdirectory
    • cd /data1/cdaq/eel108/"name"
  • git clone https://github.com/"githubUserName"/nps_replay
  • cd nps_replay
  • git remote add --track main upstream https://github.com/JeffersonLab/nps_replay
  • mkdir /data1/cdaq/eel108/output/ROOTfiles/"name"
  • ln -sf /data1/cdaq/eel108/output/ROOTfiles/"name" ROOTfiles
  • mkdir /data1/cdaq/eel108/output/REPORT_OUTPUT/"name"
  • mkdir /data1/cdaq/eel108/output/REPORT_OUTPUT/"name"/NPS
  • mkdir /data1/cdaq/eel108/output/REPORT_OUTPUT/"name"/NPS/eel108
  • ln -sf /data1/cdaq/eel108/output/REPORT_OUTPUT/"name" REPORT_OUTPUT
  • ln -sf /data1/cdaq/NPS/ cache ( do not have access to cache disk)
  • ln -sf /data1/cdaq/NPS/ raw
  • if you are using you own hcana
    • ln -sf ../hcana/hcana
  • if you want to use the standard hcana
    • ln -sf /data1/cdaq/eel108/mkjones/hcana

Starting on the ifarm machines

• • if you are not in the c-nps group then email jones@jlab.org
    • to see what groups you are in type:"groups" when on the CUE machines.
  • if you have not set up you own subdirectory:
    • cd /group/nps
    • mkdir "name" ( make a subdirectory with your "name")
    • cd "name"
  • if you have subdirectory
    • cd /group/nps/"name"
  • git clone https://github.com/"githubUserName"/nps_replay
  • cd nps_replay
  • git remote add --track main upstream https://github.com/JeffersonLab/nps_replay
  • mkdir /volatile/hallc/nps/"name"
  • mkdir /volatile/hallc/nps/"name"/ROOTfiles
  • ln -sf /volatile/hallc/nps/"name"/ROOTfiles ROOTfiles
  • mkdir /volatile/hallc/nps/"name"/REPORT_OUTPUT
  • mkdir /volatile/hallc/nps/"name"/REPORT_OUTPUT/NPS
  • mkdir /volatile/hallc/nps/"name"/REPORT_OUTPUT/NPS/eel108
  • ln -sf /volatile/hallc/nps/"name"/REPORT_OUTPUT REPORT_OUTPUT
  • ln -sf /cache/mss/hallc/c-nps/raw raw
  • if using your own hcana binary
    • ln -sf ../hcana/hcana

Analyzing data

• on cdaql3
  • cd /data1/cdaq/eel108/"name"/nps_replay
• On ifarm
  • cd /group/nps/"name"/nps_replay
• ./hcana
• At the analyzer prompt
  • .x SCRIPTS/NPS/eel108_replay.C(nrun,nevents)
  • If events = -1 , then replay all events.
  • It is slow because we are reading sample data for all FADc channels for each event
• Root file is output to the ROOTfiles directory.
