I wanted to document my testing of the new pip-based install (alternative to Anaconda) developed by @timcera . Install seems fine, but testing is now a challenge. I would love any pointers that can be given specifically on managing my expectations about what I should be seeing.

• Install pip and package dependencies
• Install runnable hsp2 command line tool via pip
• Run a test UCI
• Examine UCI test run output in hd5 file
• Compare output to previous (maybe in ./tests/test10/HSPFresults/ ?)

Installation of pip and package

• Get test branch: This branch made by @timcera -- Will replace with master after it is merged
  • git clone https://github.com/timcera/HSPsquared/tree/develop
• install hdf5
  • The necessity of this step on Ubuntu is uncertain. There are apt packages for hdf5-tools, and there are existing executables named h5cc in the system prior to unpacking and installing this package, however, this did not seem sufficient to run test10, so I added these.
  • download hdf5-1.12.1.tar.gz (need to go through their web sign-up, so no direct download link to use with wget)
  • tar -xvf hdf5-1.12.1.tar.gz
  • cd hdf5-1.12.1
  • make all
  • sudo make install
  • sudo apt install hdf5
• Install pip:
  • sudo apt-get install pip
• Install Python Dependencies (I had a brand new Ubtuntu 20.04/python and had to install some dependencies via pip first)
  • pip install panda
  • pip install tables==3.6.1
    • Needed the previous version of tables because the newest tables breaks numba
  • pip install numba
• Create hsp2 executable
  • pip install .
• Log out and log back in to get the python/pip path updated tp be able to run hsp2
• Test hsp2 executable (see Testing below)

Testing

• I used /opt/model/HSPsquared/HSP2notebooks/Data, though the run did not appear to complete to completion.
  • mkdir test; cd test
  • cp /HSPsquared/HSP2notebooks/Data/* ./
  • hsp2 import_uci test10.uci test10.h5
  • hsp2 run test10.h5
• Comments below will be used to debug and/or verify the steps above
