| − | == Group software == |
||
| − | Our software is managed under Subversion (SVN) version control. For information on how to set up your SVN details and access the code, see the [[SVN setup]] page. Tips on good practice when using SVN can be found on the group [[Wales Group Version control | version control ]] page. It is highly recommended that you read this once you have set up your details. Once you're up and running, you should definitely take a look at the Theory Sector [[SVN Page]] which is chock full of useful info on the commands you'll be using on a regular basis. |

| − | The official documentation can be found [http://www-wales.ch.cam.ac.uk/software.html here]. It is highly recommended that before you start any jobs, you check the documentation to make sure you understand what each keyword you have specified does and if it's necessary! The links below provide a few working examples for each program the group uses, from initial setup to job submission. |
