Setting up the Tutorial Environment on Hera (NOAA)

The following instructions should be run if configuring the shell environment to run the METplus Tutorial on Hera (NOAA). If you are running on your own computer or an NCAR machine that has been set up to run the tutorial, please go back and click the appropriate link for those instructions.

Create a Working Directory

Create a directory called 'METplus-5.0.0_Tutorial' to hold all of the files you will create during the tutorial. This can be any directory that you have write permission.

In the following instructions, change "/path/to" to the directory you chose: EDIT AFTER COPYING and BEFORE HITTING RETURN!

Change directory to the location where you want to put your tutorial files.

cd /path/to

Create a directory called METplus-5.0.0_Tutorial. This directory will contain all of your tutorial work, including configuration files, output data, and any other notes you'd like to keep.

mkdir METplus-5.0.0_Tutorial

Change directory into the tutorial directory.

cd METplus-5.0.0_Tutorial

Create Directories for Configuration Files and Output Data

mkdir user_config

mkdir output

Obtain the Tutorial Setup Script

Copy the tutorial setup shell script to configure your runtime environment for use with METplus. You will also copy over a METplus .conf file that you will use to run:

cp /scratch1/BMC/dtc/METplus/METplus-5.0.0_Tutorial_Files/METplus-5.0.0_TutorialSetup.hera.`basename $SHELL` ./METplus-5.0.0_TutorialSetup.sh

cp /scratch1/BMC/dtc/METplus/METplus-5.0.0_Tutorial_Files/tutorial-5.0.0.conf ./tutorial.conf

Next navigate to the Verify Environment is Set Correctly page.
