JADE software comes via a virtual machine image. The only thing you need to | ||
install by yourself on you desktop is VirtualBox. Then you just need to | ||
download the JADE virtual machine image open it with VirtualBox. See | ||
instructions [here](/docs/jade-virtual-machine). | ||
JADE software needs to be run inside a container, e.g. with Docker or Podman. The corresponding GitHub repository can be found [here](https://github.com/andriish/JADE). | ||

## <a name="docker">"Installing the JADE software with Docker"</a> | ||
|
||
The data samples you can download from this portal consists all events | ||
collected by the JADE. | ||
It is required to have Docker installed and the repository cloned, e.g. with `git clone https://github.com/rdebrand/JADE --branch software-only --depth 1` (will take up to 730 MB disk space, for additional documentation check out the gihub repository). | ||
|
||
## <a name="vbox">"I have installed VirtualBox, downloaded JADE VM image and launched it. And now?"</a> | ||
1. Pull the image with `docker pull ghcr.io/andriish/fedora39x86_64i686_gnu:latest` | ||
2. Run the container `docker run -it --platform linux/amd64 --name jade_soft -v $PWD:/home ghcr.io/andriish/fedora39x86_64i686_gnu` \ | ||
The `-v` option will mount the current directory (where it might be necessary to use `$(pwd)` instead of `$PWD` if an error occurs) to the home directory inside the container. It is thus useful to set the working directory beforehand to the cloned repository to conveniently run the software scripts and programs. \ | ||
Note that not specifying a platform will result in the container software trying to run the image on the hosts platform type, while the image requires to be run on the linux/amd64 platform. The `-it` (interactive, tty) option is also necessary to keep the container running and be interactive, else it might close immediately. | ||
3. Inside the container navigate to the JADE directory with `cd /home/JADE` and run `sh ./jadeinstall.sh --bits=32` \ | ||
Note that everything inside the container has to be run with 32 bits, as most of the packages (especially Cernlib) only support this architecture. \ | ||
4. The container can be exited by invoking `exit` and one can attach again with `docker start jade_soft` followed by `docker attach jade_soft` | ||
|
||
FIXME | ||
## <a name="test">"Testing the installed software and running simple data analysis"</a> | ||
|
||
While still attached to the container, the software can simply be tested with `sh ./jadetest.sh --bits=32`. |
