Installing LalSuite from Source
Steps
Step 0: Requirements
Module loads/things you might need:
module load git/2.18.0
module load git-lfs/2.4.0
module load anaconda3/5.1.0
module load gcc/6.4.0
module load openmpi/3.0.0
module load fftw/3.3.7
module load swig/3.0.12-python-3.6.4
module load framel/8.30
module load metaio/8.4.0
module load gsl/2.4
Step 1: Install lal
git clone git@git.ligo.org:lscsoft/lalsuite.git
mkdir lal_install_dir
cd lalsuite/lal
./00boot && ./configure --prefix=/<path to>/lal_install_dir/ && make && make install
. <path to>/lal_install_dir/etc/lal-user-env.sh
Step 2: Install lalsimulation
cd ../lalsimulation
./00boot && ./configure --prefix=/<path to>/lal_install_dir/ && make && make install
<path to>/lal_install_dir/etc/lalsimulation-user-env.sh
At this point, the installation should(?) work. Test it out in python:
cd ~
python
>>> import lalsimulation
Step 3: Get waveform data
cd ~/ & mkdir waveform_data
echo "export LAL_DATA_PATH=/<path_to_wave_data_dir>" >> .bash_profile
Copy the waveform data files and place them into this the waveform_data/ dir
Where do we get the waveform datafiles from again?
