./README does not install any dependencies

[hsergi]

I have cloned Ginan in a machine. It's already executable (so the step in the installation that says to make it executable seems outdated):

-rwxr-xr-x 1 srhildeb gipsy 20977 Jan 10 01:38 README.md

When I type in the terminal: ./README.md, nothing at all happens:

[srhildeb@pp1oc ~/ginan]$ ./README.md
[srhildeb@pp1oc ~/ginan]$
[srhildeb@pp1oc ~/ginan]$ ls
archived docker examples LICENSE.md scripts
CHANGELOG.md Docs ISSUES.md README.md src

The OS in my machine is:

NAME="Scientific Linux"
VERSION="7.9 (Nitrogen)"
ID="scientific"
ID_LIKE="rhel centos fedora"

Does the installation from the README.md file only work with Ubuntu?

The Ubuntu (apt) and Fedora (yum/dnf) install systems are fundamentally different. The scientific Linux seems to be a Fedora derivative so under the yum package management system. You may get some traction by installing apt equivalent for the Fedora ecosystem. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-vs-apt/

P.S. I'll try the source installtion with dnf next week after we upgrade the OS to Red Hat 8.

Update: We have installed RHEL8 and dependencies. We are looking at an issue with boost. I'll report soon if we suceed and we can close this issue. Thanks.

Boost fine, now part of openblas.

[hsergi]

Fine with OpenBLAS. Flags needed in our installation (RHEL8) copied below for cognizance.

I need to test some examples and make sure it runs well. I'll give a final update soon.

cmake -DOpenBLAS_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/depot/redhatel8_64/openblas/0.3.21/include -DOpenBLAS_LIB:FILEPATH=/usr/depot/redhatel8_64/openblas/0.3.21/lib -DBLAS_blas_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/depot/redhatel8_64/lapack/3.5.0/lib/libblas.so -DLAPACK_LIBRARIES:FILEPATH=/usr/depot/redhatel8_64/lapack/3.5.0/lib/liblapack.so -DNETCDF_LIBRARIES_CXX:FILEPATH=/usr/depot/redhatel8_64/netcdf-c++/4.3.0_ABI0/lib -DNETCDF_INCLUDES_CXX:PATH=/usr/depot/redhatel8_64/netcdf-c++/4.3.0_ABI0/include -DNETCDF_INCLUDES:FILEPATH=/usr/depot/redhatel8_64/netcdf/4.6.2_ABI0/include -DNETCDF_LIBRARIES:FILEPATH=/usr/depot/redhatel8_64/netcdf/4.6.2_ABI0/lib ../

Since ex11 is advertised, MongoDB is required, so I would remind the user about it. Everything else seems fine. P.S. the tar zip files are easy to download in a machine with good internet connection. In cases where the connection is not good enough (unfortunately, the case of my institutional secure servers), I download it to my laptop and upload the file via sftp. Then, I had to unzip it and re-run python3 scripts/download_examples.py

[hsergi]

Okay. MongoDB is optional, and I set to false the option in ex11. It run well.

If someone uses RHEL, please see above for tips about the installation of external packages.
