EPM engine machine setup

Hardware prequisites

Network connection (preferably 1000 Mbit/sec)

Linux (ubuntu perferably)

JRE (or JDK, for instance OpenJdk 7)

gcc

NFS client

NFS server

Runs on a "full Assothink machine", according to Matscape's standards (MMU (or MMV or MMM)).

Uses directory /media/server.Alex.MMU/epm/ (the 'epm reference dir', refdir)

The script is epm preinstall .

It creates several system files under directory $refdir/install/ .

This has to be done just once if many machines have to be installed.

On the target machine:

define a user (standard name and password)
set IP address and check network accessibility
NFS export $HOME
NFS mount /media/server.Alex.MMU/
replicate /etc/hosts file (from refdir), check the pings
replicate /etc/fstab.matscape.local file, replicate it at the end of fstab
check the auto mounting of /media/server.Alex.MMU/ at least
run script $refDir/epm install (it installs .bashrc, .alex, Scripts dir, assothink.epm dir...)
check generic things
check epm java processes (epm engine mainly)
compile C version of java process, check epm C engine
