Make Directories

Make Directories

Before you make any measurements for eUCLID you will need to set up some directories to store data in.

gcs_outputs

The GCS measurement software used on uhurub outputs to your home directory, into a directory called "gcs_outputs" you will need to make this directory. To do this type the following commands while you are logged into uhurub.

mkdir ~/gcs_outputs

All of your measurement files and images will be output to this folder.

Your Data Directory

You also need to make another directory within gcs_outputs which will store all of the data that you want to add to this GitHub page, and subsequently eUCLID.

First, you will need to decide on an alphanumeric character to identify your data directory. Currently, we are using the first letter of our first names as that character, followed by "data". For example, if Sophie were to make a data directory she would call it "sdata". However, before you make the directory check here to make sure that no one else has taken the letter that you want. For example, if Christina M. wanted to make a data directory, she may want to call it "cdata", but she would then check and see that there is already a "cdata" in use, so she would instead call it "mdata".

To make the directory type the following command while logged into uhurub.

mkdir ~/gcs_outputs/[your letter]data

After you measure CMEs you will copy the .rt files you want to be included in eUCLID into this folder.
