How to install easybuild  

Install Easybuild

Configuring easybuild 

[config]
prefix=/pfs/work/g2pbloch/imasenv_eb
modules-tool=EnvironmentModulesC
module-syntax=Tcl
[override]
insecure-download=True

Change prefix to path where do you want your installation.

Create secret.txt  file in $HOME/.config/easybuild/ and paste HTTPS ACESS TOKEN  to ITER  repo.

Authorization: Bearer <token>

Downloading files

The configuration is located in the file $HOME/.config/easybuild/config.cfg. Set the prefix path to the directory where the installation should be performed. In the prefix directory, clone the repository https://gitlab.eufus.psnc.pl/g2pbloch/easybuild-files so that the files are placed in the eb_files_repo directory. In the prefix directory, clone the repository https://gitlab.eufus.psnc.pl/g2pbloch/easybuild-imas-files and enter it. 

installation of IMAS

start the IMAS installation:

eb Data-Dictionary/Data-Dictionary-3.40.1-GCCcore-10.2.0.eb --allow-modules-tool-mismatch --robot=/pfs/work/g2pbloch/teseasybuild-imas-files:/pfs/work/g2pbloch/test_instruction/eb_files_repo:/pfs/work/g2pbloch/test_instruction/easybuild-ies/ --http-header-fields-urlpat="^https://git.iter.org::$HOME/.config/easybuild/secret.txt"

After DD installation change path in this line in HLI easyconfigs to your path: preconfigopts = 'export IMAS_VERSION="0.0.0" &&  export IMAS_PREFIX="/pfs/work/g2pbloch/test_instruction/software/Data-Dictionary/3.40.1-GCCcore-10.2.0/dd_3.40.1/" &&' 

How it works:

• eb - EasyBuild

• IMAS-AL-Cpp/IMAS-AL-Cpp-5.2.0dev-foss-2020b-DD-3.40.1.eb - path to EasyBuild configuration file

• --allow-modules-tool-mismatch - flag
• --robot - paths to configuration files
• --http-header-fields-urlpat - secret to downloading files from ITER repo
