Permission issue/How to change the path for data? #11

Closed dcsozturk closed 4 years ago

dcsozturk commented 5 years ago

I run into the following error after using the msise00.run():

"PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/geomagindices/data/2017'"

Is there a way to set/change the path for the data to be stored?

The system path for the library is '/Users/username/msise00'.

Thank you.

This is handled automatically by Python setuptools.

As with any Python package, the --user option can be used when initially installing this package. 

pip install msise00 --user

what I would consider is to:

  1. manually install geomagindices via pip install geomagindices --user or in development mode as per the link
  2. install msise00 pip install msise00 --user or in development mode.

This is a general Python packaging issue, that can arise when system Python is used. By definition, installing both packages with pip ... --user flag should resolve this issue.

I will tentatively close this issue, but if it's still bothersome, perhaps a option for data directory could be added
