Installation of EMS 95 Requires that the SAS system is functioning on the system. We also recommend that a C Shell is used for the opperation of EMS-95. The environment variable EMS_HOME must be set to the directory where EMS-95 will reside. There are 9 tars on the tape which contains the system. It is recomended that the first 8 tars are put on a single large(10 to 18 gbyte file system depending of domain size) the final tar can be put on another file system. The tars are.
Tar 1: EMS_BIN
Tar2: EMS_SYS
Tar 3: EMS_CAT
Tar 4: EMS_RAW
Tar 5: EMS
Tar 6: EMSG
Tar 7: EMS_GRD
Tar 8: EMSG_GRD
Tar 9: Scenario directories EMS_RUN and EMS_AIR.
Use the directory structure flow chart to understand what these director names mean. Tar #9 should be put on a larger file system (18 Gbytes or more) and put it in a directory like /scenario/otag and link it to the location within the directory with the following command:
ln -s /scenario/otag /ems/ems95/project/otag/gridspec/otag12/scenario
which will link /scenario/otag to the /ems/ems95/project/otag/gridspec/otag12/scenario directory.
The next important step is to add the following lines to the .cshrc file for all users who will be using EMS-95. Set the EMS_HOME variable to the location the first 8 tars were put in.
Finally you need to change the SAS work directory to a file system with at least 8Gbytes of space which is not the same file system as either EMS_HOME or the scenario directories. It is also recommended that it is the fastest file system on your system. You also need to change the location of this in the config.sas612 file in the SASHOME directory. It should be on the line where the "WORK" directory is set.
Start a new shell as that user and try the following commands. If one command does not work you cannot expect that further commands will work.
You should be able to type "gobin" and should change directory to the directory $EMS_HOME/bin
You should be able to type "sas" and get 3 sas windows.
You should be able to type "source setthur.mej" and not get any errors or warnings.
You should be able to type "gosys" and get sent to the $EMS_SYS directory.
You should be able to type "goems" and get sent to the $EMS directory
You should be able to type "gocat" and get sent to the $EMS_CAT directory
You should be able to type "locme" and get prompted to give a direcory name listed and then get send to that $EMS_LOC directory.
You should be able to type "gorun" and get sent to the $EMS_RUNdirectory
You should be able to type "gosys" and get sent to the $EMS_AIR directory.
You should be able to type "viewme" and then get prompted for a file name if you type "ems_cat.fipsstcy" you should get a window with the ems_cat.fipsstcy data set.
The installation should be functional if all of the above work.
