COSSAN Course

Useful scripts for the Uncertainty Quantification on HPC with COSSAN Software course.

Install COSSAN-X (install_cossan.py)

To install, first download the installer script:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JonathanWillitts/cossan_course/master/install_cossan.py

Next update the line specifying the SMARX dongle license server (and any other required config parameters) in install_cossan.py:

SMARX_SERVER = 'hostname.or.ip.to.smarx.server'

Then run the install script, noting:

• It may take 10+ mins to fully run.
• There is no successful message, though the script should exit early with an error if it encounters a problem.

python install_cossan.py

Finally change to the COSSAN-X install directory and launch, e.g.

cd ~/cossanx/COSSANX_Linux_R2014a
./start_cossan.sh

The GUI should load up (though can take a minute to initialise on first run).
