yt/dev module out of date on Kraken?

Hi all, I'm trying to run some simple analysis on some FLASH runs I've done on Kraken, and it looks like the yt/dev module is stuck somewhere between ver. 2.3 & 2.4. Specifically, it looks like it's before SlicePlot was added since I see it in the 2.4 docs, but not the 2.3 docs. I unsurprisingly get errors with my plotting script: NameError: name 'SlicePlot' is not defined "yt instinfo" gives me: yt module located at: /lustre/scratch/proj/sw/yt/dev/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt-2.4dev-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg I haven't tried installing yt to my home directory since I'm worried about space issues (we only have 2G total). Is it possible to update the yt/dev module or add a yt/2.5 module? Thanks, Kevin

I believe you will need to contact Kraken/XSEDE admin for installation of the updated version on their machine. From G.S. On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 10:07 AM, Kevin Moore <kmoore@physics.ucsb.edu>wrote:

Hi Kevin, Alas, the 2GB of space on Kraken is the least of your problems. Building on Kraken is notoriously difficult. The modules on kraken are maintained by the NICS staff, not us. You might give them a shout and ask them to make a newer module. However, what I would recommend instead is to move your data over to nautilus, install your own yt in your home directory. For me, it takes 1.1GB for everything. Personally, this hasn't been a problem for me, though I think if you need another GB or so, the NICS staff may just give it to you if you ask. You'll need to first do $ module swap PE-intel PE-gnu $ module swap mpt mpt/2.04 before running the install script. After that, yt should work smoothly on nautilus. Make sure to run both of those module swaps before using yt, and in any job scripts if you submit jobs to the queue on nautilus. I hope this is helpful. j On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 1:07 PM, Kevin Moore <kmoore@physics.ucsb.edu>wrote:

Hi all, I will update and install the latest module of Yt on Nautilus and Kraken when I get back from work related travel next week. I had promised Brian O' Shea that I would accomplish this earlier, but I have had several deadlines and travel plans that have interfered with updating Yt. Once Yt is up to date, my goal is to keep the dev environment updated on a weekly basis. Best regards, Hari On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 1:15 PM, j s oishi <jsoishi@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Kevin, I just updated my "community" install of yt on Kraken. You can use it like this: source /lustre/scratch/proj/yt_common/current/bin/activate I haven't tested it - I just updated it, so it may not work, but it's worth a shot. Good luck! -- Stephen Skory s@skory.us http://stephenskory.com/ 510.621.3687 (google voice)

Thanks for the quick replies! I'll try it out when I get back home and let you know if I have any problems with it. -Kevin On Jul 24, 2013, at 2:09 PM, Stephen Skory <s@skory.us> wrote:
