Problem installing on cluster

Post by jtg374 »

Hi everyone,
I am trying installation on a cluster following this post. With the advice of the administrator, I created a conda virtual environment with all possible dependencies I can find.

Code: Select all

module load anaconda3/5.2.0
module load openmpi/gnu.3.1.3
conda create -n NEURON -c conda-forge python=3.4
Then I downloaded nrn 7.6 and followed the installation script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
../nrn/configure --prefix=`pwd` --with-nmodl-only --without-x
make
make install

../nrn/configure --prefix=`pwd` '--without-nmodl' '--without-x' \
'--without-memacs' '--with-paranrn' 'CC=mpicc' 'CXX=mpicxx' \
'--disable-shared' 'CFLAGS=-g -O0' 'CXXFLAGS=-g -O0'  linux_nrnmech=no
make
make install

Code: Select all

tar xzf nrn-7.6.tar.gz
mv nrn-7.6 nrn
mkdir mpi
cd mpi
sh ../nrninstall.sh &> installnotes.log
The compilation with-nmodl-only succeeded but the nrniv compilation encoutered MAKE ERROR:

Code: Select all

Hi,
The cluster administrator helped installation in the public folder. There is no further problems. Thanks!

--
Yes, what I do is get it installed from source.



Step 1. download the two packages iv and nrn
Step 2. install iv. For I am root, then I could get it installed in a public folder. If you like make it, let it goes to your home folder.
Step 3. install iv
tar xvf iv.***.gz
cd iv
./configure --prefix=/where to install
make
make install

Configure the environment of them
export PATH=...(where to find the bin):$PATH
export CPATH=...(where to find the include) :$CPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=...(where to find the lib):$LD_LIBRARY_PATH


Step 4. install nrn
module load iv/19 anaconda3/5.2.0
tar xvf nrn.***.gz
cd nrn
./configure --prefix=/where to install --with-iv --with-nrnpython --with-paranrn
make
make install
cd src/nrnpython
python setup.py install

Configure the environment of them
export PATH=... :$PATH
export CPATH=... : $CPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=... :$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=.... :$PYTHONPATH

In cluster, we use module to manage the environment variables (PATH, CPATH ..), The file you can find at /gpfsnyu/modules/iv/19 and /gpfsnyu/modules/nrn/7.6


In case, if there are some error generated during your computing, please let me know.
