Instructions for MediaScores on Kong

• First, we need to create some files that will specify R settings.

  • Create the file ~/.R/Makevars and add the following lines to it (necessary for building mediascores):

      CXX14FLAGS = -DSTAN_THREADS
      CXX14FLAGS += -O3 -march=native -mtune=native
      CXX14FLAGS += -fPIC
    

  • We need to create a space to put our built version of MediaScores, so create a directory in your home directory, e.g., mkdir ~/lib. Then, create an .Renviron file in your home that points to it with the following content (UPDATE WITH YOUR HOME DIRECTORY):

      R_LIBS=/home/c/cbuntain/lib
    

• Now create a directory for mediascores, cd into it and git clone https://github.com/SMAPPNYU/mediascores.git

• load the R and gcc modules to your environment:

    module load gcc/6.3.0
    module load R-Project/3.6.0
  

• Make sure you're in the directory that contains the cloned repo for media scores, and you can now build mediascores using R CMD INSTALL --library=<your R_LIBS dir> mediascores
