GEOS-5 Checkout and Build Instructions: Difference between revisions

With the above step complete, let's get ourselves ready to check out the code.  We'll be using the UNIX ''cvs'' command to check out the code.  The basic syntax is:

Here, $CVSROOT specifies the CVS repository we'll be getting the code from, MODULENAME is the particular module (set of code) we'll be checking out, and TAGNAME is a particular version of that module.  Let's fill in the blanks:

So our module is ''GEOSagcm'' and the tag is ''GEOSdas-2_1_6''.  Note that I substituted the shortcut ''co'' for ''checkout'' in the above command.

The above command is generally valid.  You ought to be able to execute it and checkout some code.  If you don't have your ''ssh keys'' setup on '''sourcemotel''' then you should be prompted for your '''sourcemotel''' password.  The assumption here is that your username on '''sourcemotel''' is the same as on the machine you are checking the code out on.  If not, modify the command like this:

Here's a couple of short cuts.  So that you don't have to type in the ''-d :ext:c-sourcemotel.gsfc.nasa.gov:/cvsroot/esma'' business all the time, you can add the following lines to your, e.g., ''.cshrc'' file:

Modify as appropriate if you need to put your username in or if you use a different shell (i.e., put the analog of these lines into your .bashrc file or whatever).
