HPC
^^^

These instructions have been written for the Gadi supercomputer of the 
`National Computational Infrastructure (NCI)`_. The process for other
HPC platforms may differ. 

.. _`National Computational Infrastructure (NCI)`: https://nci.org.au/ 

Login to Gadi and clone the `PyRate` repository::

    ssh <user_name>@gadi.nci.org.au
    cd ~
    git clone https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/PyRate.git

Create a Python virtual environment::

    python3 -m venv ~/PyRateVenv
    source ~/PyRateVenv/bin/activate

Load the required Gadi modules (this will also remove the default NCI GDAL
Python bindings so we can build and use our own)::

    source ~/PyRate/scripts/nci_load_modules.sh

Install `PyRate`::

    cd ~/PyRate
    python3 setup.py install

Following this, `PyRate` will be available for PBS jobs. To verify the 
installation, first run an interactive session::

    qsub -I -q express -l walltime=01:00:00,mem=16Gb,ncpus=4,wd

Once the session has started, you will need to reactivate your virtual 
environment and reload the required modules::

    source ~/PyRateVenv/bin/activate
    source ~/PyRate/scripts/nci_load_modules.sh
