Using Maud
Maud expects to write some files into its installation directory, a central installation is therefore not possible. To install Maud into your HOME-directory simply invoke the Maud wrapper:
/opt/xray/bin/Maud # or module load xray Maud
The wrapper will extract the application in $HOME/Maud and - if Maud is being used for the first time. Afterwards you can either run Maud as outlined above or as $HOME/Maud/Maud.sh.
The wrapper looks like this:
/opt/xray/bin/Maud
#!/bin/bash # the wrapper checks for the existence of Maud.sh. # if it exists it will simply launch $HOME/Maud/Maud.sh # if it doesn't exist it will first install Maud into your home-dir # to update Maud just (re)move ~/Maud if [[ ! -f $HOME/Maud/Maud.sh ]]; then pushd $HOME > /dev/null tar xf /opt/xray/Maud/Maud.tar.gz > /dev/null 2>&1 popd > /dev/null fi # run Maud $HOME/Maud/Maud.sh
