​Hi Hadi,

Please use the mailing list as other people may help you or may find useful information.

As a basic installation:

  • extract the castor zip package

  • go in the castor folder

  • type “export CASTOR_OMP=1” (for multi-thread support)

  • type “make -j”

  • binaries will be in the bin/ folder

  • to launch castor, set the CASTOR_CONFIG variable to the location of the config/ folder in the castor package (use “export CASTOR_CONFIG=/path/to/the/config/folder”)

Good luck

Hi, Hadi

If you want to install CASToR in ubuntu or other Unix/Linux system, I recommend you use CMake to build, configure and install. During that progress, you can easily use ccmake to configure all environments which show in general documentation in UI. Good luck!

Best,
