fatal: not a git repository

[Vishnu V. Krishnan]

Hi!

I just installed v1.9.7, and when I tried to install a model, I get the following error. Am I doing something wrong?

$ kim-api-v1-collections-management install system --sudo EDIP_BOP_Bazant_Kaxiras_Si__MO_958932894036_001

Aborting!

Hello Vishnu,

I'm not sure what is happening there. I just checked this and it seems to be
working fine for me. Can you detail exactly the steps you have taken to build
and install kim-api-v1.9.7?

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I used the 'make' method (since the pre-v2 doesn't seem to use cmake), and did the following:

./configure --prefix="/usr" --libexecdir="lib"
make
make install

Hi Vishnu,

Try using:

./configure --prefix="/usr" --libexecdir="/usr/lib"

instead.

Against logic there is no armor like ignorance.

That still gives me the same error. But no worries, turns out LAMMPS is building in support for the v2 API, and that version works fine for me, so I think I will just wait.

Thanks for your time!

OK,

Sounds good.
