== A. Establish Environment == [[Image(GIMI_workflow_A.jpg)]] ---- * 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.
