| - | **This page is provided for historical information**. We now simply provide the packaged versions of cernlib, root, etc from the EPEL repository, Most collaborations which require a specific version of these tools maintain their own software distribution, | ||

| - | ====== Introduction to UPS package manager ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | UPS is a package management system originated from Fermilab. We use it as it allows us to provide multiple versions of popular physics tools such as CERNlib. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The ups command used with list will tell you what products are available. The -a switch includes all instances of those products: | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | [211]user@host> | ||
| - | |||
| - | DATABASE=/ | ||
| - | Product=root | ||
| - | Qualifiers="" | ||
| - | |||
| - | Product=root | ||
| - | Qualifiers="" | ||

| - | |||
| - | You can also use the '' | ||

| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | To use any of the listed products, use the setup command: | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | [213]user@host> | ||
| - | [214]user@host> | ||
| - | / | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | or to set up a particular version: | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | [216]user@host> | ||
| - | [217]user@host> | ||
| - | / | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | To remove a product from your environment, | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | [218]user@host> | ||
| - | [219]user@host> | ||
| - | root: Command not found. | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | To see all of the products in the database use the ups list command: | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | [220]user@host> | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||

| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | ... | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | Any one of these products can set up another product when called to be setup itself. To see the chain of dependencies, | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | [221]user@host> | ||
| - | root v4_02_00 -f Linux+2.4 -z / | ||
| - | |__cern 2003 -f Linux+2.4 -z / | ||
