Establish Environment

• Bring up tutorial VM and log in.
• Open Firefox web browser
• Open a terminal window
• The software required for this tutorial is already installed in the tutorial VM.
• Download GIMI tutorial specific configuration files by issuing the following command in a user workspace terminal:

  $ cd ~/Tutorials/GIMI/common/
  $ git pull
  

• The iRODS client uses a configuration file (~/.irods/.irodsEnv) that sets certain parameter for the icommands. Here is and example:

  # iRODS personal configuration file.
  #
  # This file was automatically created during iRODS installation.
  #   Created Thu Feb 16 14:06:27 2012
  #
  # iRODS server host name:
  irodsHost 'emmy8.casa.umass.edu'
  # iRODS server port number:
  irodsPort 1247
  
  # Default storage resource name:
  irodsDefResource 'iRODSUmass'
  # Home directory in iRODS:
  irodsHome '/geniRenci/home/gimiXX'
  # Current directory in iRODS:
  irodsCwd '/geniRenci/home/gimiXX'
  # Account name:
  irodsUserName 'gimiXX'
  # Zone:
  irodsZone 'geniRenci'
  

• First of all copy the template iRODS configuration file to .irodsEnv with the following command:

  $ cp ~/.irods/gimiIrodsEnv ~/.irods/.irodsEnv
  

• Open ~/.irods/.irodsEnv with your favorite text editor (we recommend nano) and change gimiXX to your assigned username (e.g., gimi04).
• Register with iRODS server by issuing the following command (more details on iRODS will be given shortly):

  $ iinit
  

• You will be prompted for a password. Please type in the password you were provided with on the paper handout!!
