Users upgrading from a previous version of McIDAS-X will at a minimum need to do the following.
to the HOME directory of the user mcidas
Assuming that the McIDAS-X/-XCD is to be installed in the standard location, and the user wants to use the GNU gcc/gfortran compiler combination, The entries for McINST_ROOT and VENDOR will look like:
non-Conforming shells (e.g., .cshrc) | Conforming shells (e.g., .profile, .bash_profile, or .kshrc) |
# McINST_ROOT and VENDOR non-conforming shell defines # needed to build McIDAS setenv MCVER 2022 setenv MCHOME $HOME setenv McINST_ROOT $MCHOME setrenv MCADMIN $McINST_ROOT/admin setenv VENDOR -gfortran # NOTE: uncomment the line that sets MySQL_ROOT if you want # to build with MySQL support: # - leave the value blank if MySQL is installed in a # standard location # - specify the value as the root directory of the # MySQL installation if MySQL is not installed in # a standard location # setenv MySQL_ROOT TRUE if ( -e $MCADMIN/mcidas_env.csh ) then source $MCADMIN/mcidas_env.csh endif |
# McINST_ROOT and VENDOR conforming shell defines # needed to bulid McIDAS MCVER=2022 MCHOME=$HOME McINST_ROOT=$MCHOME MCADMIN=$McINST_ROOT/admin VENDOR=-gfortran export MCVER MCHOME McINST_ROOT MCADMIN VENDOR # NOTE: uncomment the two lines that set MySQL_ROOT if you # want to build with MySQL support: # - leave the value blank if MySQL is installed in a # standard location # - specify the value as the root directory of the MySQL # installation if MySQL is not installed in a standard # location # MySQL_ROOT=TRUE # export MySQL_ROOT if [ -e $MCADMIN/mcidas_env.sh ]; then . $MCADMIN/mcidas_env.sh fi |
After adding entries to your shell definition file, make those additions active in your session (e.g. source .cshrc, . .profile, . .bash_profile, etc.).

cd $MCDATA mcxconfig
Recommendation: use defaults presented by mcxconfig for most actions.
If you are upgrading an existing McIDAS installation, you may need to do the following before running mcxconfig:
cd $McINST_ROOT/data cp LOCAL.NAM LOCAL.NAM.2019
When mcxconfig advises you to review file REDIRECTions in $McINST_ROOT/data/LOCAL.NAM, merge any/all locally added definitions from $McINST_ROOT/data/LOCAL.NAM.2019 into $McINST_ROOT/data/LOCAL.NAM.
cd $McINST_ROOT/data cp LSSERVE.BAT LSSERVE.BAT.2019
When mcxconfig advises you to review server mapping table actions in $McINST_ROOT/data/LSSERVE.BAT, merge any/all locally added definitions from $McINST_ROOT/data/LSSERVE.BAT.2019 into $McINST_ROOT/data/LSSERVE.BAT.
cd $MCDATA rm DECINFO.DAT
