Undocumented dependency on packages DataFrames and Proj

[zduputel]

A minor issue when running the code from a fresh julia installation:

$ julia run_growclust3D.jl vsup_nllgrid3D.inp
ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package DataFrames not found in current path.
- Run `import Pkg; Pkg.add("DataFrames")` to install the DataFrames package.
Stacktrace: (...)

which can be easily solved by running import Pkg; Pkg.add("DataFrames") in julia as prescribed. Then

$ julia run_growclust3D.jl vsup_nllgrid3D.inp
ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package Proj not found in current path.
- Run `import Pkg; Pkg.add("Proj")` to install the Proj package.
Stacktrace:

that can also be solved with import Pkg; Pkg.add("Proj").

Interesting, thanks for letting me know. I could not replicate this issue with a fresh installation of Julia on a new computer server, setup following these instructions (https://julialang.org/downloads/platform/#linux_and_freebsd). All tests passed after adding GrowClust3D without explicitly adding any other packages.

I also confirmed Proj, DataFrames, etc are in the Project.toml.

Are you certain the Julia instance you are calling is properly installed and is the same one you added GrowClust3D to?

I installed julia following the instructions at: https://julialang.org/downloads/ (i.e., just by running curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh)

I then installed growclust using pkg> add https://github.com/dttrugman/GrowClust3D.jl and tested the installation pkg> test GrowClust3D (no issue reported during the test). The aforementioned errors only appeared when running run_growclust3D.jl... The problem was solved after running

import Pkg
Pkg.add("DataFrames")
Pkg.add("Proj")

I see what you mean, thanks. DataFrames and Proj are both bundled with the GrowClust3D package but the example scripts also use DataFrames functionality outside the exported functions (the same is not true for Proj).

I've updated the example scripts to remove the unneeded Proj imports and added documentation to recommend installing DataFrames on top of GrowClust3D.

Thanks for the tip.
