Setting up your SUN account to use the dSPACE MiniBoxes

In order to run programs on the dSPACE hardware you need to add a few things to your .cshrc file and create a new directory. See below:

SETUP SUN ACCOUNTS FOR dSPACE

1. Need to use tcsh rather than csh so that shell commands can be executed from Matlab.

You can do this two ways, with (a) preferred:

a) Permanently change login shell to tcsh by typing command:

nispasswd -s

Then answer to "New shell:"

/usr/local/bin/tcsh

b) Add the following at end of .cshrc file (this can be done using any text editor (ie. pico, emacs...)):

setenv SHELL /usr/local/bin/tcsh

2. Add the following line at the end of .cshrc file (this can be done using any text editor (ie. pine, emacs)):

source /home/charcoal/local/dsp_cit/bin/dspace.sh

3. Create a directory named citfiles in your home directory by typing

mkdir citfiles

4. Log out and then log back in.
