Installing MPT in an alternate location for use with modules:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Install the modules package into the default root. Once this is done,
you can install the MPT software as follows.
# inst -r /opt/mpt/"version" -f "location of mpt dist" -Vrulesoverride:on -a
The "version" string should match the 4 digit release string of the
particular mpt package you are instaling. This version can be determined
as follows:
# showprods -f "location of mpt dist" sma | grep -i mpt
sma SMA 3.1.0.0 (MPT 1.2.0.0)
sma.relnotes MPT 1.2.0.0 Release Notes
sma.relnotes.relnotes MPT 1.2.0.0 Release Notes
In the above example, version would be 1.2.0.0.
Please note that -Vrulesoverride:on is needed to install due to the fact that
/opt/mpt/"version" will not be a complete root but only a partial root
containing only the mpt software. The -Vrulesoverride:on will turn off
the verification of prequisite sub-systems.
Once the software is installed, you must set the mpt link as follows:
# cd /opt/mpt
# ln -s "version" mpt (mpt modulefile uses this link)
The mpt modulefile will work with the above general installation.
To access the mpt software using modules:
% source /opt/modules/modules/init/csh (should be added to .cshrc)
% module load modules (should be added to .cshrc)
% module load mpt (can be added to .cshrc)
Creating a modulefile for a specific version of mpt:
----------------------------------------------------
For each version of the MPT software you maintain, you can create
a modulefile for it by copying the mpt modulefile to /opt/modulefiles
as mpt."version". Then edit mpt."version" and change the value of
MPT_LEVEL to "version".
Example: You have installed version 1.2.0.1 as /opt/mpt/1.2.0.1.
To create a modulefile for /opt/mpt/1.2.0.1, copy /opt/modulefiles/mpt
to /opt/modulefiles/mpt.1.2.0.1. The edit /opt/modulefiles/mpt.1.2.0.1
and change the value of MPT_LEVEL to 1.2.0.1. Users can then change
between this version and any other version using the module swap command.
% module swap mpt mpt.1.2.0.1
