Installation instructions

Extract files from the attached folder. The localEnv contains examples of setenv and alias commands that we use in our local implementation of Aleph. Also attached are examples of of some of the aliases that include shell and perl scripts. The file is not meant to be a working example, but rather it demonstrates a methodology to incorporate a local environment into the Aleph environment. So, when logged in as the aleph user, additional commands and environment variables are available by default. Scripts run from the job list also include this enhanced environment.
