Madagascar Installation

Environmental variables

1. Set the RSFROOT environmental variable to the directory where you want RSF installed.
2. Set the PYTHONPATH environmental variable to include $RSFROOT/lib.
3. Add $RSFROOT/bin to your PATH environmental variable.
4. Set DATAPATH to the directory for temporary data files.

Example configuration for csh and tcsh:

setenv RSFROOT /usr/local/rsf
if ($?PYTHONPATH) then
   setenv PYTHONPATH ${PYTHONPATH}:$RSFROOT/lib
else
   setenv PYTHONPATH $RSFROOT/lib
endif
set path = ($path $RSFROOT/bin)
setenv DATAPATH /var/tmp/

Example configuration for bash:

export RSFROOT=/usr/local/rsf
if [ -n "$PYTHONPATH" ]; then
   export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:$RSFROOT/lib
else
   export PYTHONPATH=$RSFROOT/lib
fi
export PATH=$PATH:$RSFROOT/bin
export DATAPATH=/var/tmp/

Notice the slash at the end of the DATAPATH variable.
