Admin notes¶
Theresa Davey purchased a network license (99-seats, available to Materials Dept.) and provided the install program.
The instal media is a static executable. Thermo-Calc is installed by running it on the NFS server. Despite the documentation, X is not required—it has a text interface. It is best to select a custom install, as it allows one to have more control over the process and to set the install location.
Thermo-Calc is placed (entirely) in the install location, so I instead created the directory structure:
thermo-calc/
thermo-calc-4.1/
bin/
Thermo-Calc.sh
pkg/
where pkg
contains the Thermo-Calc installation. bin/Thermo-Calc.sh
is a simple script which executes the installed script of the same name:
#!/bin/bash
cd $TC41_HOME && ./$(basename $0)
ICT host the license server (iclic17.cc.ic.ac.uk). I found I needed to set the LSHOST environment variable in the module file, along with despite specifying the license server during the install process. Note that the TC41_HOME environment variable must also be set to /path/to/thermo-calc/thermo-calc-4.1/pkg
