On Bianca cluster

Note

Bianca has no Internet! pip will not work!

Since we have mirrored conda repositories locally conda will work also on Bianca!

• First try conda, as above.

• If packages are not available, follow the guideline below, while looking at https://uppmax.uu.se/support-sv/user-guides/bianca-user-guide and https://www.uppmax.uu.se/support/user-guides/transit-user-guide/.

• Make an installation on Rackham and then use the wharf to copy it over to your directory on Bianca.

  • Path on Rackham and Bianca could be (~/.local/lib/python<version>/site-packages/ ).

• You may have to:

  • in source directory:

    cp –a <package_dir> <wharf_mnt_path>
    

    • you may want to tar before copying to include all possible symbolic links:

      tar cfz <tarfile.tar.gz> <package>
      

  • and in target directory (wharf_mnt) on Bianca:

    tar xfz <tarfile.tar.gz> #if there is a tar file!
    mv –a  <file(s)> ~/.local/lib/python<version>/site-packages/
