Configuration#

NDManager allows you to manage databases for different kinds of files:

  • ENDF6 evaluation nuclear data files

  • HDF5 processed nuclear data files

  • XML depletion chain files

  • HDF5 sampled nuclear data files

The directories in which these databases will be stored can be specified using the following environment variables: NDMANAGER_ENDF6, NDMANAGER_HDF5, NDMANAGER_CHAINS, NDMANAGER_SAMPLES.

You can also define these paths in a YAML file located at $HOME/.config/ndmanager/settings.yml:

NDMANAGER_ENDF6: /path/to/endf6
NDMANAGER_HDF5: /path/to/hdf5
NDMANAGER_CHAINS: /path/to/chains
NDMANAGER_SAMPLES: /path/to/samples

If no path is set, the data will be stored in $HOME/.config/ndmanager
