A large number of software packages are available for working with gravitational wave data. A whole bunch of these can be easily installed using the IGWN Conda environment.
And … that’s it! You should have a full suite of IGWN software on your computer. Now you can run tutorials from the Open Data Workshop locally on your laptop. Please try it out, and let us know how it goes.
Hi Jonah,
I checked the Option 3 of the Setup (odw-2022/setup.md at main · gw-odw/odw-2022 · GitHub), it seems to work (and to work quite easily), but maybe I’m biased by the fact that the conda environment was already installed on my mac. Anyway, everything else seems to be ok, the instructions are clear and the tutorial (at least 1.1) works as well.
I am trying to setup the conda environment on mac, everything else works fine at first, but when i get to the step where i will have to enter “conda env create --file igwn-py39.yaml”, the terminal returns:
It seems like it could not install the entirety of the packages on the stack. I can only think of a network connection problem. Can you post as well the commands you typed? Deleting the environment and creating a fresh new one may also help.
@harryyeh I’m sorry you are running into a problem!
I just tried it on my mac, and it worked for me. Sometimes, conda packages can go missing for a few hours due to network and/or server issues. I’d encourage you to try again after 24 hours, and let us know if the problems persists.
For the new ARM-powered macOS hardware, you need environments built for osx-arm64. These should become available this week, I will post here again when that work is complete.
Related to this issue, I think Apple removed Rosetta (the osx-64 to arm translator) in one of the latest updates because I used to be able to make it work before with the previous yaml, but not after I last updated the OS.
