Eophis Installation

Eophis can be installed in multiple ways. We recommand installation From Container for newcomers or quickstart. Advanced users could follow From Sources section for a native build of Eophis.

From Container

We provide Apptainer (formerly Singularity) images which contain all dependencies and ready-to-use Eophis environment. Follow instructions below to install Apptainer and run containers.

Apptainer on Linux

# For Ubuntu
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:apptainer/ppa
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y apptainer

# For amd64 Debian
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y wget
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/releases/download/v1.4.3/apptainer_1.4.3_amd64.deb
sudo apt install -y ./apptainer_1.4.3_amd64.deb

Warning

For other Linux distributions, please refer to this guide.

Apptainer on macOS

# Apptainer is available on macOS via LIMA (LInux virtual MAchines)
brew install qemu lima  # Install with brew
port install qemu lima  # Install with macports

# Create Linux VM with Apptainer
limactl start template://apptainer
limactl shell apptainer
# IMPORTANT: type 'cd' to go in VM home, 'pwd' should return '/home/<your_name>.linux'
cd

Run Eophis containers

Once you installed Apptainer, or are running the Virtual Machine, you can download and run Eophis containers with:

# Get your hardware architecture
uname -m
#  aarch64 --> arm64
#  x86_64  --> amd64

# For Eophis version 1.1.0 on AMD64 architecture
export   VER=1.1.0   ARCH=amd64
wget https://github.com/meom-group/eophis/releases/download/v${VER}/eophis_v${VER}_${ARCH}.zip
tar -xf eophis_v${VER}_${ARCH}.zip
# or
unzip eophis_v${VER}_${ARCH}.zip

# Run apptainer image
apptainer run --writable-tmpfs --bind $(pwd):/home/jdoe/to_host eophis_v${VER}_${ARCH}.sif

# In the container: Test Eophis
cd ~/eophis/tests
./run_all_tests.sh

From Sources

As a Python package, installing Eophis is straightforward. However, some dependencies are low-level libraries that need to be compiled beforehand. Below, we summarize the steps to build these dependencies.

Please make sure that the following requisites are installed on your system:
  • Fortran / C compilers

  • MPI implementation, such as OpenMPI

  • netcdf library for Fortran (>=4.5.2) and C (>=4.7.2)

  • Python environment (>=3.10)

OASIS3-MCT_5.0

Download and compile OASIS

Get OASIS sources by cloning git repository:

git clone https://gitlab.com/cerfacs/oasis3-mct.git
cd oasis3-mct

Check commit and go in compilation directory:

git checkout OASIS3-MCT_5.0
cd util/make_dir

OASIS libraries must be dynamically compiled. Edit your own make.<YOUR_ARCH> file. Pay attention to the following important variables:

# Path for oasis main directory
COUPLE = /PATH/TO/oasis3-mct
# Dynamic flags
DYNOPT = -fPIC
LDDYNOPT = -shared
# inc and lib dir
NETCDF_INCLUDE = /PATH/TO/NETCDF/include
NETCDF_LIBRARY = -L/PATH/TO/NETCDF/lib -lnetcdf -lnetcdff
MPI_INCLUDE = /PATH/TO/MPI/include
MPILIB = -L/PATH/TO/MPI/lib -lmpi
# Compilers and linker
F90 = # mpifort -I$(MPI_INCLUDE) , ftn , mpiifort ...
CC =  # mpicc , cc , mpiicc ...
LD = $(F90) $(MPILIB)
# Compilation flags - adapt with your compilers
FCBASEFLAGS = -O2 ...
CCBASEFLAGD = -O2 ...

Note

Arch files for common machines and/or HPC centers are provided in OASIS sources.

# Link your architecture file for compilation
echo "include ~/oasis3-mct/util/make_dir/make.<YOUR_MACHINE>"  >  make.inc

# Compile dynamic libraries
make -f TopMakefileOasis3 pyoasis

If everything goes right, you should find the following libraries in oasis3-mct/BLD/lib/:

ls ~/oasis3-mct/BLD/lib/
libmct.so   libmpeu.so   liboasis.cbind.so   libpsmile.MPI1.so   libscrip.so

PyOASIS

PyOASIS is the Python API of OASIS. Source the following files to initialize PyOASIS modules. The best is to put those commands in your .bash_profile:

source /PATH/TO/oasis3-mct/BLD/python/init.sh
source /PATH/TO/oasis3-mct/BLD/python/init.csh

Python libraries required to use PyOASIS will be automatically installed with Eophis package. For more details, please check out OASIS documentation.

Eophis

Install package

Clone a copy of the Eophis repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/meom-group/eophis.git

Install Eophis with pip:

cd ~/eophis
pip install .

Testing

Running the tests is not mandatory but highly recommended to ensure the proper installation of Eophis. Proceed as follows:

# Run operating tests
cd ~/eophis/tests/
./run_all_tests.sh
# Should print "TEST SUCCESSFUL" for each test

Checkout Tests section of this documentation for more informations about operating tests.
