5.4.2. CLI Runs on Linux Systems

Assuming you are not using the csh shell (if you are, see section 6.1) type

. $HOME/ansys_inc/v222/reaction/forte.linuxx8664/bin/forte_setup.ksh

which sets up the Forte environment.

Then:

cd

to the directory on your computer where your MyProject.ftsim is located

Prepare the run in a sub-folder run_32cores, using this command:

forte.sh CLI -project MyProject.ftsim --prepare -prep_dir run_32cores -mpi_args 32

See A.4Check for Required System Libraries on Linux to ensure that the required system libraries are present on the hosting system.

To start the run, type

run_mpi.sh

You can monitor the progress of the run by viewing the MONITOR file in the run folder. Be careful not to use an editor that blocks write access to the MONITOR file (see Monitoring Runs).
