This is a repo containing dotfiles and init scripts for setting up Rivanna (the UVA HPC cluster).

about rivanna

getting started

Deployment

Before you begin, you need an account on the UVA HPC system and you need to connect to the UVA network using VPN.

When you first log in you will have a barebones prompt.

This script will:

• Set up and install dotfiles
• Set the prompt
• Install pyenv
• Install conda

Procedure

Start by cloning the repository:

git clone https://git.charlesreid1.com/dotfiles/rivanna.git rivanna
cd rivanna

Now run the user init script, which will install the dotfiles, set up pyenv, and perform all other remaining tasks:

$PWD/tasks_user/user_init.sh

Using the Dotfiles

The dotfiles are installed for the regular user on the yeti node. These dotfiles make it easy to define an environment, either for all users (by changing the dotfiles in the repo) or for an individual user (using site-specific dotfiles).

The $PATH is set in .bash_profile

The prompt is set in .bash_prompt

The aliases are set in .aliases

To set your own aliases, source your own dotfiles, or otherwise insert steps into the dotfiles initialization process, use the ~/.extras file.

To set your git credentials, add the following to the ~/.extras file:

# Git credentials
# Not in the repository
# This prevents people from using incorrect github credentials
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="<<< your name here >>>"
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="<<< your email here >>>"

GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"

git config --global user.name "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME"
git config --global user.email "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
