Support tools for the hands-on training sessions

• Singularity container with the CTF DataEditor tool and the SAMsrc MEG tools running under CentOS 6.9

Singularity container megcore.img download

• Text editors available within the container for editing shell scripts: vim, nano, gedit

Usage: singularity shell --bind /data:/mnt/data megcore.img

where the /data file system holds your CTF data set and mounts under /mnt/data inside the container

(your /home directory and the /tmp file systems are automatically visible inside the container)

• Working on the NIH HPC systems

Data are still available in /data/classes/meg, along with all necessary scripts

Modules are now available for SAM (samsrcv3) and CTF (ctf).

To begin:

Copy the data from /data/classes/meg

Use the initialization script to configure your environment:

$ . init_course.sh
