Next, we need to set up two directory structures.  The first, the '''home directory''' will contain the scripts we use to run the experiment.  We don't want to lose these, so we'll make the home directory for the experiment actually reside in our home directories on '''discover''', which is backed up and recoverable in case anything goes wrong.  Since I potentially will run many GEOS-5 experiments before I retire, I'm accumulating these home directories in a sub-directory called ''geo5''.  So, if you follow that, make the home directory:
