Common HEP UNIX User Environment


As the documentation of the HEPiX Startup Scripts is by nature strongly hypertext, it was always difficult to write paper documents on a top down analysis.

Although this is required, we changed our strategy and organised the documentation with a bottom up approach which gives us more flexibility to prepare better pages based on an information which is more accurate, easy to manage and to update.

You can access the information you want through the index of pages. Moreover we provide thematically regrouped documents in the following.

There is some documentation which is general for anybody:

And some documentation which is specific for different kind of readers. Up to now we envisaged that there may be 4 kinds of views on the documentation:

  1. You are a User and want to reach user guides or reference information
  2. You are a System Administrator and want to know how to install, which version and how to customise the HEPiX scripts to your local situation
  3. You want to know the concepts and some Architectural Design information
  4. You want to know about the Project, people involved, history.
