MintPy via Conda on MacOS Monterey

[Sven Borgstrom]

Hi Yunjun,

I've just installed MintPy on MacOS Monterey via Conda.

I made a test to unpack TSX data but I got only one file (data.db) besides the SLC of course, instead of the usual three files (data.bak, data.dat and data.dir).

As far as I can understand I cannot do anything more with this for further processing, is it right?

How can I fix this?

Should I install Mintpy via MacPorts?

I use Conda on Linux Ubuntu and I'm really satisfied with it, so if I can fix for conda I would prefer.

Cheers,

Sven.

Hi Sven,

It seems like you are referring to isce2, not mintpy? As for isce2, I had both one and three pickle files (data.*) generated before, but don't remember the details. I would say just go ahead until you reach an error. The conda version of isce2+ mintpy should work on macOS. There are some complications recently with isce2 on conda-forge, you may find more up-to-date information on isce2 github repo.

Regards,

Yunjun

Hi Yunjun,

processing was ok until the "prep_isce" step excluded.

In the attached file the screenshot: the script doesn't accept the "data.db" file.

How can I fix this? 

Sorry for disturbance.

Sven.

Hi Sven,

Could you try the following change to see if it works?

Change (https://github.com/insarlab/MintPy/blob/d9879502265e53daafc9aa2ccf5dcf4c5fa1cb21/mintpy/utils/isce_utils.py#L52):

from

stripmap_meta_files = [os.path.join(meta_dir, i) for i in ['data.dat', 'data']]

to 

stripmap_meta_files = [os.path.join(meta_dir, i) for i in ['data.dat', 'data', 'data.db']]

The path to mintpy installed through conda can be found as below:

python -c "import mintpy; print(mintpy.__path__)"

Cheers,

Yunjun

Hello Sven,

In case the above solution didn’t work, try renaming the ‘data.db’ as ‘data’ in referenceShelve folder. I got this issue with UAVSAR before and renaming worked for me.

Hi Yunjun and Bhuvan,

the workaround proposed by Yunjun works perfectly, the one proposed by Bhuvan doesn't work b.t.w thank you for suggestion Bhuvan

I have now a problem with mdx.py which doesn't work: I asked on the isce2 GitHub forum but no answer till now.

May I explain to you my problem (another post, of course) or should I wait the answer from the GitHub forum?

Cheers,

Sven.

Thanks for the reporting and testing Sven. The fix is now committed (https://github.com/insarlab/MintPy/pull/846) and will be available to the conda-forge channel in the next release.

I am not sure abou the mdx.py in isce2, its functionality is limited anyway. There will be a new plotting program in isce3, which should be more powerful and flexible. For now, I would recommend using view.py from mintpy, it works on all the isce2 data files as far as I am aware of.

Cheers,

Yunjun
