For Core Developers
For those with accounts on fiz.stanford.edur+w access to the repository on GitHub, which currently hosts our git repository, clone from here for write access:
| No Format |
|---|
git clone sshgit@github.com://fiz.stanford.edu/git/ramcloudPlatformLab/RAMCloud.git cd ramcloud git submodule update --init --recursive ln -s ../../hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit |
(Notes: the git submodule update retrieves additional repos needed to build RAMCloud, such as gtest and logcabin; the ln -s command arranges for various consistency checks to run during commits, such as ensuring the absence of carriage returns)
...
Use the same instructions as above, except replace "ssh:git@github.com:PlatformLab/RAMCloud.git" with "git:https://github.com/PlatformLab/RAMCloud.git" in the git clone command. With this approach you don't need to have an account on fizr+w access to the repository on GitHub, and you can't push commts to the repository. With read-only access, you can send us patches, or we can pull them from your repository.

LogCabin
LogCabin is a distributed system that will provide a small amount of highly replicated, consistent storage. It will be used by the RAMCloud Coordinator mainly for fault tolerance.
More information about LogCabin can be found at: https://ramcloud.stanford.edu/wiki/display/logcabin/LogCabin.
For current users of RAMCloud who have just pulled the latest commits that link RAMCloud to LogCabin, or if the LogCabin submodule is updated at any point, run:
| No Format |
|---|
git submodule update --init --recursive
make logcabin |
CentOS Issues
This shouldn't be necessary any more on the Stanford cluster, as /etc/skel/.bashrc now includes the line. -Diego 2012-04-15
