Quick Start

installation

Note these instructions will be improved and we will make this available in Conda. This is just an example, modify as you see fit.

$ ssh chad.hanna@ldas-pcdev1.ligo-wa.caltech.edu
(igwn) [chad.hanna@ldas-pcdev1 ~]$ mkdir git
(igwn) [chad.hanna@ldas-pcdev1 ~]$ cd git
(igwn) [chad.hanna@ldas-pcdev1 git]$ git clone git@git.ligo.org:chad-hanna/gwtc.git
(igwn) [chad.hanna@ldas-pcdev1 git]$ export PATH=${PATH}:/home/chad.hanna/.local/bin
(igwn) [chad.hanna@ldas-pcdev1 git]$ pip install --user ./gwtc

Create a GWTC table from GraceDB query

Start with creating a table that mapps each GWTC entry with G event in a database. One can give Gracedb query to specify events to add to the table.

gwtc_create_from_query --service-url https://gracedb-test.ligo.org/api/ --proxy-path /path/to/your/proxy --number 4 "far < 9.65e-08 1368921618 .. 1394841618 ADVOK &~EARLY_WARNING"

The above command queries all the public events (exclusing early warning) during O4a found in GraceDB test instance. One can change the URL to https://gracedb.ligo.org/api/ to create a GWTC table for the production GraceDB instance.

Define a new set of g events for a given pipeline with hard reset

Obviously you need to change your user to be you not chad.hanna - Also, you have to be authorized to access certain features
