The user interface we will use will be ATLASLocalRootBase which is described here. Note that this is a menu driven UI and it also has helpMe, showVersions and the --help or -h option works for all commands. In the examples below, you will see the command setupATLAS; you will have to type this only once per session. To see the menu again, type printMenu.
First determine the type of shell you are using (bash or zsh) by typing ps -p $$.
Edit ~/.bashrc (or ~/.zshrc for zsh) and add the lines
export RUCIO_ACCOUNT=<your lxplus username>
Simply type setupATLAS afterwords.
You do not need to define anything else.
If your site admin has not defined it, or if it is unavailable for some reason, you can define these in your login scripts.
First determine the type of shell you are using (bash or zsh) by typing ps -p $$.

CERNBox is a cloud-like storage solution which in addition to providing a convenient web-based interface, is also accessible via lxplus (and other machines) to directly connect to your data. It is built on the EOS file storage system.
You should consider using CERNBox/EOS for all your large root file storage needs.
To activate you CERNBox, just head to cernbox.cern.ch.
