Hello!

My name is Cipy, i am new to ECCE software i have installed the ecce environment on my laptop sucesfully i copy down the ouput of isntallation:
"
ECCE installation succeeded.


!! You MUST perform the following steps in order to use ECCE !!
-- Unless only the user 'admiralciprian' will be running ECCE,
  start the ECCE server as 'admiralciprian' with:
/home/admiralciprian/Desktop/ECCE/ecce-v7.0/server/ecce-admin/start_ecce_server

-- To register machines to run computational codes, please see
  the installation and compute resource registration manuals
at http://ecce.pnl.gov/using/installguide.shtml

-- Before running ECCE each user must source an environment
  setup script.  For csh/tcsh users add this to ~/.cshrc:
if ( -e /home/admiralciprian/Desktop/ECCE/ecce-v7.0/apps/scripts/runtime_setup ) then
source /home/admiralciprian/Desktop/ECCE/ecce-v7.0/apps/scripts/runtime_setup
endif
For sh/bash users, add this to ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc:
if [ -e /home/admiralciprian/Desktop/ECCE/ecce-v7.0/apps/scripts/runtime_setup.sh ]; then
. /home/admiralciprian/Desktop/ECCE/ecce-v7.0/apps/scripts/runtime_setup.sh
fi

OK i am stuck here. I have no idea what i need to do next. If some is kind enough to explain and help do i need to register somewhere, i figured out that i need to start the server application as well.

All i want is to make it start on my laptop and run ecce+nwchem from my laptop and then move on my workstation

Laptop Configuration:

Intel Pentium T4400 Dual-Core 2.2 GHz
VGA Nvidia Geforce GT 320M 1GB VRAM
RAM 4GB
HDD 500GB
OS: UBUNTU LINUX 12.04 LTS (Long Time Support) 64-bit system it shows the full 4GB and 32GB so i asume this is 64 bit version

The Workstation configuration is:

AMD FX 8350 8 Core CPU
VGA AMD ATI HD 6670 2GB VRAM and 448threads
RAM 32 GB
HDD 1.5TB
OS: UBUNTU LINUX 12.04 LTS (Long Time Support)

I found the nwchem and ecce are more supperior than gaussian and it will really help me in my research for PHD

Thank You! in advance Cipy

Cipy, you can follow the instructions that you're given and which you'll find on a second reading to actually be quite clear i.e. put
    if ( -e /home/admiralciprian/Desktop/ECCE/ecce-v7.0/apps/scripts/runtime_setup ) then
      source /home/admiralciprian/Desktop/ECCE/ecce-v7.0/apps/scripts/runtime_setup
    endif

in your ~/.cshrc file and
if [ -e /home/admiralciprian/Desktop/ECCE/ecce-v7.0/apps/scripts/runtime_setup.sh ]; then
      . /home/admiralciprian/Desktop/ECCE/ecce-v7.0/apps/scripts/runtime_setup.sh
    fi

in your ~/.bashrc file

If you log out and back in again the changes will take effect. You can also do
source ~/.bashrc
in the shell if you're using bash, and
source ~/.cshrc
if you're using (t)csh but let's ignore that to avoid confusion.

If you want to see more detailed instructions, you can have a look at http://verahill.blogspot.com -- there are a number of posts on how to compile/install and set up ECCE, e.g.
http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/ecce-in-virtual-machine-step-by-step.html
http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/487-version-70-of-ecce-out-now.html

Thank You!
It was very useful, it took me ages to catch the idea but i finnally managed to make it run. But i got another error regarding running jobs for nwchem using ecce

That's unrelated to ECCE -- ecce is used to set up and submit jobs. Your error is related to settings specific to nwchem.

Have a look at the section on Memory at http://www.nwchem-sw.org/index.php/Top-level

You could also compile nwchem yourself and finish off by running getmem.nwchem, which is strongly recommended when running your own cluster so that you can use a suitable math library, or nwchem will be running very slow.

Either way, this question belongs to the nwchem section.
