Requirements

Step 1: DUNE membership

To follow this training, you must be on the DUNE Collaboration member list. You can check if you are on it here. If you are not, talk to your supervisor or representative to get on it.

Step 2: accounts

With FNAL

If you have a valid FNAL computing account with DUNE, go to step 3.

If you have a valid FNAL computing account but not on DUNE yet (say you have access to another experiment's resources), you can ask for a DUNE-specific account using the Service Now Computing Account Request form.

If you do not have any FNAL accounts yet, contact as soon as possible your supervisor and/or IB representative to obtain a Fermilab User Account. More info: https://get-connected.fnal.gov/users/access/

With CERN

If you have a valid CERN account and access to CERN machines, you will be able to do many of the exercises as some data is available at CERN. The LArSoft tutorial has been designed to work from CERN. We strongly advise pursuing the FNAL computing account though.

If you have trouble getting access, please reach out to the training team several days ahead of time.  Some issues take some time to resolve.  Please do not put this off.  We cannot help you the day of the tutorial as we are busy doing the tutorial.  

Step 3: Mission setup

We ask that you have completed the setup work to verify your access to the DUNE servers. It is not complicated, and should take 10 - 20 min.

If you are not familiar with Unix shell commands, here is a tutorial you can do on your own to be ready: The Unix Shell.
