HOWTO use MCWrapper on AlmaLinux9 nodes
From GlueXWiki
Introduction
How to use MCWrapper on an interactive AlmaLinux9 node. Both submitting and running the jobs currently has to be done in a CentOS7 container.
WORK IN PROGRESS
RUN MCWrapper interactivley
1. To go in the OS7 container and favorite $SHELL
singularity exec --bind /cvmfs/oasis.opensciencegrid.org/gluex/group/halld:/group/halld,/scratch,/u/home,/usr/local,/work/halld /cvmfs/singularity.opensciencegrid.org/jeffersonlab/gluex_prod:v1 bash
or
singularity exec --bind /cvmfs/oasis.opensciencegrid.org/gluex/group/halld:/group/halld,/scratch,/u/home,/usr/local,/work/halld /cvmfs/singularity.opensciencegrid.org/jeffersonlab/gluex_prod:v1 tcsh
2.
source /group/halld/Software/build_scripts/gluex_env_boot_jlab.sh
3.
gxenv
NB: the version 5.13.0 container is broken, so hdgeant4 will not work, but you can test interactively with the latest containerized version.

2.
source /group/halld/Software/build_scripts/gluex_env_boot_jlab.sh
3.
gxenv /group/halld/www/halldweb/html/halld_versions/version_5.13.0.xml
4. Set MCWRAPPER_CENTRAL to new version (should be accessible soon - date of today is August 7th, 2024)
setenv MCWRAPPER_CENTRAL path to new version
or
export MCWRAPPER_CENTRAL=path to new version
if it is not working copy this python steering file here: /work/halld/home/ijaegle/public/FromBoToMe/my_gluex_MC.py
5. In your MC.cfg, use
BATCH_SYSTEM=swif2cont
and
OS=el9
