PUDL Development Setup for Linux

[Nancy9ice]

Hello,

I've been trying to set up PUDL on my linux and have been following the instructions but I keep getting errors when I use the command: make install-pudl. Attached is a screenshot that contains the error. The package name changes if I retry the command. And honestly the expected hash is what my package has as seen in the third image so I'm wondering why I'm getting this error.

Not sure what's going on here. Is it possible there's a corrupted package in your local cache? Could you try purging the cached packages and attempting to create the environment again? Are you installing on the main branch of PUDL?

[Nancy9ice]

I just purged the cached packages and re-ran the command but it didn't work. And yes, I'm installing it on the main branch

What version of mamba are you running?

Are you able to run mamba install gcsfs==2024.3.1 directly, or does that come up with the same hash mismatch?

She mentioned in our office hours call that she was using mamba version 1.5.8

Hello,

I apologize for the late response. It has finally worked! I had to delete the cloned repo and start all over again on the development setup and it just worked.

Thank you for your help! And thank you @aesharpe for recommending that I start from scratch

Hello @Nancy9ice
I am facing similar error. I tried to delete repo, updated my forked repo and tried again but no success. I'm also using mamba 1.5.8

Can you share what commands did you use for resolve this?

[Nancy9ice]

So sorry about this. I understand how frustrating it can be. I'll advise you do the following and see if it works:

• Delete the folder from your linux (That is, PycharmProjects/pudl)
• Delete the PUDL repo from your github
• Fork the repo again
• Reclone the repo in your linux
• Confirm that your mamba and conda are still intact
• run 'make install-pudl'

These are the steps I took to make it work. I hope it works for you and will be waiting for your update on the outcome.

Hi @Nancy9ice

I have just

1. Deleted pudl from my local machine.
2. Deleted github forked repo
3. Deleted my miniforge installation
4. Forked again with main only branch.
5. Freshly installed miniforge from https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge

And back again in terminal. No SUCCESS.

I'm so sorry you're having trouble with this. I've just tried recreating my environment from scratch on the main branch locally and haven't had any issues, but I'm on MacOS so maybe it's a platform specific issue. This seems like a different kind of error than the one that @Nancy9ice was originally having with the mismatched package checksums.

With the base conda environment activated could you do mamba list to see what all packages and versions you've got installed there? Maybe there's something different in there that's causing an issue.

Was there any additional output in that last stack trace? It doesn't seem like it gets to reporting its final error. Or were they just the same as the ones above?

I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS. I think it is the capture output error not the same as @Nancy9ice was facing earlier.
