chmutil on Comet cluster - CRBS/chmutil GitHub Wiki

This page describes steps to setup chmutil on Comet cluster. It is assumed the reader already has an account on the Comet and is able to ssh to the cluster.

Setting up python on Comet

Step 1) Load Python module

Comet uses the Environment Modules package to configure user environments. By default python is not loaded in a user's environment.

To load Python for the current terminal run this:

module load python/2.7.10
# if error is returned about modules not found remove
# the # on the next line and run that command and try again:
# source /etc/profile.d/modules.sh 

TO make the above change permanent for future shells do the following on Comet:

For Bash shell, append the above to ~/.bashrc file like so:

echo "module load python/2.7.10" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Step 3) Update PATH to include ~/.local/bin

For Bash shell, update PATH entry in ~/.bashrc or do this:

echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Step 3) Install chmutil

pip install --user chmutil

To test run this:

createchmjob.py --version
