ecfFlow consists of two tar files i.e.:
boost_1_53_0.tar.gz
- ecFlow-4.78.0-Source.tar.gz
Create a directory for the build:
Code Block language bash mkdir /tmp/ecflow_build
Copy the the two tar file into this directory, then change directory to /tmp/ecflow_build
Un-zip then un-tar the two file files:
Code Block language bash tar -zxf boost_1_53_0.tar.gz tar -zxf ecFlow-4.78.0-Source.tar.gz
You should have two directories created:
Code Block boost_1_53_0 ecFlow-4.78.0-Source
Create two environment variables. These are used by some of the scripts:
Code Block language bash export WK=/tmp/ecflow_build/ecFlow-4.78.0-Source export BOOST_ROOT=/tmp/ecflow_build/boost_1_53_0

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<prefix>/4.7.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ecflow # If you used the default's then <prefix>=/usr/local # otherwise you should use whatever you entered for -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, hence in the examples above we would have: export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/apps/ecflow/4.7.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ecflow |
Installing ecFlow Python to a custom directory
The default install for ecFlow, will install python(if it was enabled) under the directory given to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
However sometimes we may need to install the ecFlow python module to a different prefix.(starting with release 4.3.0)
This can be done using:
| Code Block |
|---|
cd $WK/build # change to the build directory cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/avi/custom/ecflow/4.7.0 -DCOMPONENT=python -P cmake_install.cmake -- make install # install python module under /tmp/avi/custom/ecflow/4.7.0 |
ecflow_ui: Make a list servers accessible to all users
...
- creating a file called servers
The format of the servers file is very easy:
Code Block title server file format <server_name> <machine_name> <port>
An example might be:
Code Block title servers file server machineX 3141 projectX machineabc 4141 exp1 machineabc 4141 mars bigmac 11031
Copy this file to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/share/ecflow/. This makes the list of servers accessible to all users of ecflow_ui
Code Block cp servers /tmp/avi/custom/ecflow/4.78.0/share/ecflow/.
