Familiarize with PARCELS

[ocgabs]

Instructions to install and several tutorials can be followed online at:
https://oceanparcels.org/
People have had issues to install the environment on livljobs you can try out instructions circulated by Max, if it doesn't work you can use an existing environment from me or Val.

[ocgabs]

To use my environment with an old version of PARCELS installed on livljobs just do:
module load anaconda
source activate /work/gmaya/pparcels
When you are inside the environment the path or name of it will appear on the terminal in () before the pointer.

(base) livljobs8 ~ $ source activate /work/gmaya/pparcels
(/work/gmaya/pparcels) livljobs8 ~ $

You can see I have switched from the (base) environment to (/work/gmaya/pparcels)
So you can now run parcels scripts in this terminal i.e.
python /projectsa/NEMO/gmaya/CollabVG/test_val.py
Stuff will show up on your terminal while it runs, in a matter of minutes 10 or so it will finsih, hopefully happy with no errors.
The output will be a netCDF, the name is specified inside the python script.

@ocgabs I'm trying to use your environment, but it doesn't recognise it:

livljobs8 test_mpp $ module load anaconda
livljobs8 test_mpp $ source activate /work/gmaya/pparcels
Not a conda environment: /work/gmaya/pparcels

Any ideas?
