User Shell Setup

To set up your user shell with Accelerator you need to know where the Altair Accelerator software has been installed.

Ask your system administrator.

User Setup: C-Shell, TCSH

Choose one of two choices:
  1. Modify your ~/.cshrc file directly by adding the following line: 
    # Add this to your .cshrc
source /<installation_directory>/<version>/<platform>/etc/vovrc.csh
  2. Run the vovsetupuser script, which creates a ~/.vovrc file and modifies your ~/.cshrc file to source the ~/.vovrc file. 
    % cd <installation_directory>/<version>/<platform>/
% cd scripts
% ./vovsetupuser -csh

User Setup: Bourne Shell, K-Shell, Z-Shell, Bash

Choose one of two choices:
  1. Source the file $VOVDIR/etc/vovrc.sh. It is recommended that you add the following line to your ~/.profile file: 
    # Add this to your .profile or .bashrc
. <installation_directory>/<version>/<platform>/etc/vovrc.sh
  2. Run the vovsetupuser script. 
    % cd <installation_directory>/<version>/<platform>/
% cd scripts
% ./vovsetupuser -sh

User Setup: Windows Command Shell

If Accelerator is installed in directory R:\opt\altair\vov\2023.1.1, you can set up your cmd shell by executing: 
c:> R:\altair\vov\2023.1.1\win64\bat\vovinit.bat

Verify Your Setup

  1. Run the following Altair Accelerator command to verify that your setup works: 
    % vovarch
linux64
  2. Run the command vovversion to show the version of Accelerator that is installed. 
    % vovversion
2023.1.1
