Instructions for installing and configuring a WMT executor on siwenna.
--Mpiper (talk) 14:52, 22 February 2018 (MST)
Install Python
Install a Python distribution to be used locally by the executor. We like to use Miniconda.
mkdir -p /home/csdms/wmt/_testing && cd /home/csdms/wmt/_testing curl https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -o miniconda.sh bash ./miniconda.sh -f -b -p $(pwd)/conda export PATH=$(pwd)/conda/bin:$PATH root=$(pwd)
If working with an existing Python install, be sure to update everything before continuing:
conda update --all
Install the CSDMS software stack
A limiting factor in setting up this executor is that the componentized version of ILAMB can only be run with `pymt=0.2`; in particular, the BMI I wrote for ILAMB is incompatible with the `model_metadata` package in newer versions of PyMT.
Using the csdms-stack conda channel (the Bakery), simultaneously install the `pymt=0.2` and `cca-tools` packages.
conda install cca-tools pymt=0.2 -c csdms-stack -c defaults -c conda-forge
Next, install `wmt-exe` from source.
mkdir -p $root/opt && cd $root/opt git clone https://github.com/csdms/wmt-exe cd wmt-exe python setup.py develop
Install the `babelizer` for components that need to be built from source.
conda install -c csdms-stack babelizer
Optionally install IPython for testing.
conda install ipython
When running IPython remotely on siwenna, it's helpful to set
export MPLBACKEND=Agg
Install and test CSDMS components
Each section below describes how to install and test a particular CSDMS component.
Permamodel
Install the `permamodel` components from the Bakery.
conda install *permamodel* -c csdms-stack
Test a component by starting a Python session in $root/test and executing the setup and IRF methods.
from pymt.components import FrostNumberModel
comp = FrostNumberModel()
comp.get_component_name()
# args = comp.setup('.')
# comp.initialize(*args)
comp.setup('.')
comp.initialize('frostnumber_model.cfg')
comp.get_start_time()
comp.get_end_time()
comp.get_current_time()
comp.update()
comp.finalize()
