Installing on WCOSS

Legacy System

These instructions were written for the legacy WCOSS system (Dell phase 1/2). For the current WCOSS2 (Cactus/Dogwood) system, some paths and module names may have changed. Use module spider to find the correct Python/Intel modules.

If you have access to the NOAA WCOSS machines you can create your own python environments very easily using intel-python:

module load ips/19.0.5.281

Then it is suggested to create a .condarc file that lives in your $HOME folder to point to a location that will house your conda environments. Below is a sample .condarc file:

channels:
  - intel
  - conda-forge
  - defaults
envs_dirs:
  - /gpfs/dell2/emc/verification/noscrub/User.Name/conda/envs
pkgs_dirs:
  - /gpfs/dell2/emc/verification/noscrub/User.Name/conda/pkgs

Next you should start a new environment by cloning the default environment to a new name. This can be done in a single command:

conda create -n myenv --clone="/usrx/local/prod/intel/2019UP05/intelpython3"

A prompt should come up and tell you to activate the environment you just created, myenv:

source activate myenv

From here you can install any package the same way you could on regular anaconda installations:

conda install -c conda-forge monetio
