Cylc 8 GUI on Monsoon

[Denis Sergeev (dennissergeev)]

Hello,

Is it possible to run Cylc 8 in a GUI mode on Monsoon? I suspect it isn't but I thought I'd check.

Cheers,
Denis

Hi Denis,

I think its not - I've been recommending use of cylc tui as an alternative.

Cheers
Jenny

Thanks Jenny! Cylc TUI is very nice but doesn't seem to have the same functionality as the Cylc 7 GUI. For example, I would like to reset tasks or skip them - it it even possible in the TUI?

Unfortunately the Cylc 8 GUI is not available on the current generation of Met Office HPCs, this is an issue that will be fixed once we are on the new machine later this year :-)
There is some information on this in the Monsoon User Guide, see https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/doc/monsoon2/roseCylc.html#cylc-8

Thanks Roger! Sorry I missed that in the user guide. Looking forward to using the new machine!

No probs, just pointing out for future readers.

We're all looking forward to the new machine!
