Installation and Startup

Installation

To install the official DUNE version (until we add to spack)

First make a virtual environment and activate it.

# note, this ends up in the directory you invoke the venv in
python3 -m venv .merging
. .merging/bin/activate

Then use spack (or ups) to set up a normal DUNE environment

(your setup script here)

Then download and install the merge-utils code in your virtual environment

git clone https://github.com/DUNE/merge-utils.git
cd merge-utils
pip install -e .   # this makes an editable environment

Note

Note that the pip install gives error messages about incompatabilities with rucio.  It appears

ERROR: pips dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
rucio-clients 35.4.1 requires dogpile-cache>=1.2.2, but you have dogpile-cache 1.1.8 which is incompatible.
rucio-clients 35.4.1 requires jsonschema>=4.20.0, but you have jsonschema 4.17.3 which is incompatible.
rucio-clients 35.4.1 requires requests>=2.32.2, but you have requests 2.31.0 which is incompatible.
rucio-clients 35.4.1 requires tabulate>=0.9.0, but you have tabulate 0.8.9 which is incompatible.

Testing

You can check to see if it is set up by typing

python3 -m pytest
