How to configure¶
After installation, you have to configure database and path for Autosubmit. In order to use the default settings, just create a directory called autosubmit in your home directory before running the configure command. The experiments will be created in this folder, and the database named autosubmit.db in your home directory.
autosubmit configure
For advanced options you can add –advanced to the configure command. It will allow you to choose different directories (they must exist) for the experiments and database, as well as configure SMTP server and an email account in order to use the email notifications feature.
autosubmit configure --advanced
Hint
The dialog
(GUI) library is optional. Otherwise the configuration parameters
will be prompted (CLI). Use autosubmit configure -h
to see all the allowed options.
For installing the database for Autosubmit on the configured folder, when no database is created on the given path, execute:
autosubmit install
Danger
Be careful ! autosubmit install will create a blank database.
Now you are ready to use Autosubmit !
