Setting up a VM for XrdCeph development without aquilon

Download and unzip the setupXrdDevVM.zip archive attached to this page, preferably into a new folder in the VM
Copy certBundle.p12 (exported x509 certificate) into the folder
run sudo bash setup.sh [x509_certificate_name]
run bash certcopy.sh
if restarting the shell, run scl enable devtoolset-9 bash

Notes

Files included in setupXrdDevVM.zip:

ceph-el7-x86_64.repo, ceph-el7-noarch.repo
yum repositories for ceph
softwarecollections.repo
devtoolset repo. CentOS 7 (Scientific Linux) does not have native repositories for C++ versions above 11. Devtoolset has higher versions for GCC and C++
Devtoolset-9 is currently recommended (C++ 14). Higher versions can throw warnings or syntax errors for some libraries in XrootD
xrootd-stable-slc7.repo, xrootd-ceph-scd-el7-x86_64.repoXrootD repositories
setup.sh Sets up repositories and installs prerequisite packages (installs ver. 5.3.3 currently), then creates .pem files from the x509 certificate If the certificate name is added as parameter. Running the script with no additional parameters only installs the packages.
certcopy.sh
Copies the certificates to the .globus directory. DO NOT run as root, as the path locations are based on the user home
