Directories and GitHub repos

Setting up the following directory structure, and cloning these repos, will make it easier to follow the tutorials provided in this documentation. These paths can be changed to whatever you like, just be sure to update the examples accordingly.

1. Setup what will become our top working directory ~/flatiron

mkdir flatiron
cd flatiron
mkdir maf_local
mkdir my_repos
mkdir -p opsimv4_data/run_local/output

2. Clone the following repos into these directories

cd maf_local
git clone https://github.com/LSST-nonproject/sims_maf_contrib.git
cd ..
cd my_repos
git clone https://github.com/lsst/sims_maf.git
git clone https://github.com/lsst-ts/scheduler_config
git clone https://github.com/lsst/sims_featureScheduler.git

3. If you are on a linux system you will need to open up the read/write permissions of any of the local directories that will be mounted inside of docker containers. For these tutorials you will need to do this for maf_local, my_repos, and opsimv4_data. Again, please see this link for additional setup steps for using docker on linux.

chmod a+rw maf_local
chmod a+rw my_repos
chmod a+rw opsimv4_data
