Cloning uvcdat to add specific packages for LSCE
This section is about the creation of the cdatm15 environment
Notes about actually using the cdatm15 conda-based python
Note: using hard links, cloning a full environment only adds an extra 500M of disk space

Getting ready for a moving default CDAT
We create a cdatm symbolic link in the envs
directory, that has a stable name but can be moved to point to the latest default CDAT. In that case, most users can just activate this cdatm version and always get the latest stable version
bash-4.2$ cd /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b/envs bash-4.2$ conda env list cdatm15 /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b/envs/cdatm15 uvcdat-2.10 /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b/envs/uvcdat-2.10 root * /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b bash-4.2$ ln -s cdatm15 cdatm bash-4.2$ conda env list cdatm /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b/envs/cdatm cdatm15 /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b/envs/cdatm15 uvcdat-2.10 /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b/envs/uvcdat-2.10 root * /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b bash-4.2$ source activate cdatm (cdatm) bash-4.2$ conda env list cdatm * /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b/envs/cdatm cdatm15 /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b/envs/cdatm15 uvcdat-2.10 /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b/envs/uvcdat-2.10 root /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2b
Customizing UV-CDAT for LSCE
Downloading cdms2/vcs test data
You should download the test data and use it in the example scripts that you want to distribute, and scripts you write for reporting the errors you find (if any…)
bash-4.1$ source activate cdatm15 (cdatm15) bash-4.1$ python -c 'import vcs; vcs.download_sample_data_files(); print "\nFinished downloading sample data to", vcs.sample_data' [...] Finished downloading sample data to /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2/envs/cdatm15/share/uvcdat/sample_data (cdatm15) bash-4.1$ du -sh /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2/envs/cdatm15/share/uvcdat/sample_data 174M /home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda2/envs/cdatm15/share/uvcdat/sample_data

TODO
Add here packages that would be useful but have some problems that prevent their installation
- vacumm: Validation, Analysis, Comparison - Utilities written in Python to validate and analyze Multi-Model outputs, and compare them to observations
- As of August 08 2017, installing vacumm in 2.10 requires downgrading to 2.10 (see github issue)!
- Problem solved with vacumm 3.4.1-1 on August 31st! Installation was OK with
conda install -n cdatm15 -c conda-forge -c vacumm vacumm
- Install PySPLIT for Sentia
PySPLIT A package for generating HYSPLIT air parcel trajectories trajectories, performing moisture uptake analyses, expediting HYSPLIT cluster analysis, and for visualizing trajectories, clusters, and along-trajectory meteorological data
Works with HYSPLiTconda install -n cdatm15 -c conda-forge fiona geopandas
pip install pysplit
Other packages
- NO such packages now!
Updating some packages
Some packages change more often than others, and can be easily updated the following way:
-
- Update with:
conda update -n cdatm15 -c conda-forge -c pcmdi -c uvcdat cmor
- Get version number with:
python -c 'from cmor import *; print CMOR_VERSION_MAJOR, CMOR_VERSION_MINOR, CMOR_VERSION_PATCH'
-
- Update with:
pip install --upgrade dreqPy
- Get version number with:
drq -v
Cleaning up things
Some packages may have files that can only be read by the person who installed CDAT and the LSCE extensions (eg pcmdi-metrics in 2.8.0 and cdp in 2.10)
We check if some of the installed files are missing read access for the group or other, and we manually change the permissions
