Elasticluster fresh install on centos7

[Maiken Pedersen]

Hi,

I am running through a fresh install of elasticluster using the git source on a freshly installed centos7 instance.

When installing the code from github following the instructions (https://elasticluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#prepare-the-environment-for-installation),

first I see this message in the

pip install -e .
 

ERROR: google-auth 1.11.2 has requirement setuptools>=40.3.0, but you'll have setuptools 28.8.0 which is incompatible.

This might be due to Centos7 having python2.7  as default? Should elasticluster from the repo not work with a centos7 system with python 2.7?

I am preparing a demo for a course in the end of March, so running through install steps etc again.

Thanks!

Maiken

Hello Maiken,

can you try the following?

pip install 'setuptools>=40.3.0'

then proceed with `pip install -e .` again.
I've tested this on a local CentOS machine and it works, but I haven't
checked whether the installed ElastiCluster actually works or has any
dependency conflict -- I'll be grateful if you could confirm that
everything is fine after forcing an upgrade of setuptools like above.

Thanks,
R

Confirmed that that works as it should.

Now doing

elasticluster list-templates

works, while it did not earlier.
