Add PYBDSF to Kern-2 #3

Closed foxmouldy closed 7 years ago

foxmouldy commented 7 years ago

Could we add the following software to the KERN-2 Container? http://www.astron.nl/citt/pybdsm/

It ought to be available via the Kern-2 repo.

Think this is part of the lofar package which @Shadowphax said something about errors during the install.

foxmouldy commented 7 years ago

But its not really part of the LOFAR package: https://github.com/lofar-astron/PyBDSF

daikema commented 7 years ago

Maybe a difference between how LOFAR has things classified in github and how kern is being built? e.g. if I look at https://launchpad.net/~kernsuite/+archive/ubuntu/kern-2/+packages - and download the blob that the lofar set of packages is constructed from, it seems that PyBSDM is there. (I haven't tracked down which of the resulting files it winds up in).

Shadowphax commented 7 years ago

So lofar and meqtrees are installed. These two packages in question was the real reason why I needed to split the installation sequence. So should PYBDSF exist as part of Lofar ?

Looks like the bdsm python module is in there but you have to manually set the PYTHONPATH at the moment:

$ python

>>> import bdsm

  warnings.warn('Matplotlib is building the font cache using fc-list. This may take a moment.')

I haven't found a pybdsm / pybdsf binary anywhere which I think @foxmouldy may is looking for - or is the python package enough?

Shadowphax commented 7 years ago

@foxmouldy , do you need the binaries as well ?

foxmouldy commented 7 years ago

@Shadowphax No, as per our discussion, and pybdsm seems to be working okay. I'm going to close this issue.
