		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Initial setup&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;This page gives a short overview of setting up and running SIXTE simulations on the Remeis cluster. Do read the [https://www.sternwarte.uni-erlangen.de/sixte/sixte-manual/ simulator manual] if you are not familiar with SIXTE!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Getting the tools ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You typically do '''not''' need to install SIXTE for yourself on the cluster - instead, you can use the module system. The command&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 module load sixte&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
will provide all the tools as well as the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;$SIMPUT&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;$SIXTE&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; environment variables used in the next sections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By default, the above call will load the newest publicly released version of SIXTE. If you are testing new features, you can get the &amp;quot;bleeding edge&amp;quot; version of SIXTE (reflecting the current stage of the `main` development branch) using the call&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 module load sixte/bleeding&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Instrument files ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After loading the module, instrument files for many missions are avaiable under&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 $SIXTE/share/sixte/instruments&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you think that files are missing, please contact the developers!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Slurm scripts ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are running SIXTE or SIMPUT tools in a slurm script, you will need to add the following lines to the beginning of your script:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 export HEADASNOQUERY=&lt;br /&gt;
 export HEADASPROMPT=/dev/null&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These environment variables disable the interactive parameter handling, which would otherwise fail.&lt;br /&gt;
