How to install 6S on linux or mac os?

[Mengmeng Yang]

Dear Robin,

Thank you very much for providing the Py6S. I am a beginner of Py6S and 6S and I am trying to install 6S on ubuntu with a virtualbox on my macbook. 

However, according to the "Py6S Documentation", it seems that the UNIX tools (windows only) are required to install 6S. So I wonder if there is any way to install 6S on ubuntu or mac os?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Mengmeng.

Hi,

The recommended way to install 6S on any operating system is to use Conda - there are instructions at https://py6s.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html that should get you going on any operating system.

Best regards,

Robin

Hi Robin,

When I ran the full test suite to verify that both 6S and Py6S have been installed correctly, I got an error bellow:

Could you tell me how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Mengmeng.

Hi,

That's strange - I don't know why that error is occurring, the code it is running is a built-in Python function.

You can remove the print statement from that line - it's just for debugging purposes - so the line should just be `import Py6S`.

Hi Robin,

Thank you for your reply. I ran 'import Py6S' without the print statement from that line and got no error. 

Then I tried to run py.test in the <PATH_TO_PY6S_MODULE>. I suppose this path in my case is /home/mmy/anaconda3/envs/py6s-env/bin/, but I did not find the py.test file.

So I wonder where is the py.test?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Mengmeng.

Hi Robin,

I found two py.test files in these two paths: ~/anaconda3/pkgs/pytest-6.1.1-py38_0/bin  and  ~/anaconda3/bin

I am not sure which one I should run, but I can plot the default graph of 6S, which suggests that I have installed 6S and Py6S correctly.

Sorry for my trivial questions, but I appreciate your replies a lot.

Kind regards,

Mengmeng.

Hi,

Don't worry about running pytest - that's mostly for developers or people who need to run the full test suite for some reason.

If running `SixS.test()` works, and plotting a graph works, then it is all installed fine.

Thanks,

Robin

I see, thanks.

Hi Robin,

 

I’m not sure if it is a Windows only function or if it was removed at some stage but I also have an error with:

 

os.path.dirpath

 

on my mac and Linux. Using:

 

os.path.dirname

 

instead works.

 

Thanks,

 

Dan
