"MemoryError" on windows machine

[olyson]

For the purposes of building CTSM documentation on my windows machine (running Windows 11) I did the following using PowerShell:

cd C:\Users\oleson\ctsm-repos git clone https://github.com/ESCOMP/CTSM.git ./ctsm_masterdoc cd ctsm_masterdoc python .\bin\git-fleximod update -o

but got the following "MemoryError":

python : Traceback (most recent call last):

+ python .\bin\git-fleximod update -o

    dirlist.append(dl)
MemoryError

I have python 3.7

Hi Keith - this is the first mention of windows I have seen. For this purpose I think that you don't need to use git-fleximod at all. Instead try git submodule update --init

That works, thanks.
