Miscellaneous Tips

An assortment of miscellaneous things that can be confusing at first but aren't specifically related to any workflow.

• Use the -j flag when doing ldmx make install to expedite the process. A recommended setting is -j2, but you could go higher. Do keep the setting below -j10
• If you find that treeMaker.py isn't cooperating when you try to submit some batch jobs, it's probably because the container can't find cellmodule.txt or libFramework.so or both. To get around this, open up treeMaker.py and change lines 7 and 8 so that they use absolute file paths
• If you're submitting a particularly large batch job and you need more time/memory, use the long queue and increase -n appropriately. Do limit the number of cores you use to a reasonable amount
