2 years ago May I know if only one step is required to use this new Hera setup script: source ../etc/Hera_setup_intel.csh? When I tried to use it, I got the message: Setting environment variables for CCPP-SCM on Hera with icc/ifort Loading intel and netcdf modules... Setting CC/CXX/FC environment variables Setting NCEPLIBS environment variables Loading cmake Loading the SCM python environment usage: conda [-h] [-V] command ...
conda is a tool for managing and deploying applications, environments and packages.
Options: positional arguments:
...
conda commands available from other packages:
env
Could not find conda environment: pyccpp
You can list all discoverable environments with conda info --envs.
With this, I can compile the SCM successfully, but I could not run it. The error message is:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you, Siwei
Fixes https://github.com/NCAR/ccpp-scm/issues/298
Hera sysadmins changed how python is managed on Hera: https://rdhpcs-common-docs.rdhpcs.noaa.gov/wiki/index.php/Anaconda#Migrating_from_the_old_.22RDHPCS_mirror.22_installation_to_the_Anaconda_installation
Specifically, installing shapely, configobj, and netCDF4 using the method of grabbing the modules from the RDHPCS mirror does not work any more. According to their documentation, the preferred method for managing python is for users to install their own version of Miniconda and use that, which is what I did on Hera.
Note that UFS is going to use the hpc-stack repo for managing dependencies on supported platforms, which should also affect these files. I tried to follow their instructions for using hpc-stack modules on Hera and ran into a runtime error when running the SCM executable (something about not being able to find the sz.o dynamic library, potentially related to szip, hdf5, and/or use of netCDF in the code).
