  • 1.  Tool files with a suffix of .tar.bz2

    Posted 04-07-2022 17:10
    Can more recent tool updates be installed with gzip if the file has a suffix of .tar.bz2? I'm unable to access the webinar video that is supposed to explain using conda. (And I have registered in the Rocket community forum.) I'd like to be able to update the tools I have (curl, libssh, openssl and sudo) as I have done in the past with instructions in the readme. I don't know if that is still possible but it is preferable to me. If not, then it would be great if I had more clear instruction on the use of conda in USS.
    Thanks!

    Hi Debra,

    There is a video about z/OS Miniconda installation.
    https://community.rocketsoftware.com/viewwebinar/installing-zos-miniconda

    The z/OS Miniconda and z/OS Miniconda documentation can be downloaded from Rocket community portal.
    1. Sign in to the Rocket Community Portal.
    2. Click Downloads from the navigation menu. A list of available Rocket products for your account appears.
    3. Select z/OpenSource.
    4. Type 'Miniconda' in the search box to filter the list of available downloads.

    I also attached the documentation to the post.


    Thanks,
    Sergei

    OOPS, nevermind....I see the updated doc mentions this! Thanks!

    I've watched the video for installing miniconda however, it only used the appdev bundle file....no mention of the manifest. How does that figure in to the install?

    UPDATE to this....I reran the install and got the question this time....however, when I replied N, I received this error
    Am I using an incorrect file for install? This is what I've tried to use....
    appdev_manifest_2.0.1.txt
    miniconda-zos-2.0-2022-01-17.run
    Thanks!
    Deb


    Hi Sergei,
    I have tried to do the miniconda install as was shown in the video and the documentation. I wasn't given the opportunity to answer Y or N to whether or not I want to use the paid secure server or the public one. Just put me directly into the secure server. Idea of how to change that?

    Thanks,
    Debbi

    Hi Debra,

    If you already have an installation, you can reconfigure it to use public server.
    Type 'conda config --show-sources' to see the configs. The command will show config names with a content.

    in the case of a free conda server, the channel_alias option should be absent. 

    if you see channel_alias: https://condaserver.rocketsoftware.com/api/repo
    then just delete it from the related config file.

    Thanks,
    Sergei

    Hey Sergei,
    That's the problem....I don't already have an installation. It fails. I've tries running in Putty and in bash shell in Putty. I attached the log from my attempted install. I'm stuck at this point. I've been working with another co-worker who seems to have no problem with his install. I can't even issue conda commands. (Do I have to issue the activate prior to being able to issue conda commands? My experience with this stuff is very limited.)
    Thanks!
    Debbi

    Hi Debbi,

    Thank you for the full log.
    It looks, the error appears because the installation scrip cannot save the log and print it then, since you are located it a root directory.

    /
    ...
    # /pptmp/miniconda-zos-2.0-2022-01-17.run --path /usr/lpp/rsusr/miniconda

    Could you try to run the following commands instead of the latest one:

    cd /pptmp/
    ./miniconda-zos-2.0-2022-01-17.run --path /usr/lpp/rsusr/miniconda

    I think, it's a bug and we will fix it in a future release.

    Thanks,
    Sergei

    Sergei,
    Many thanks!! That did the trick! And now that I figured out how to pull the tools in from the public anaconda.org site....wow, that is super cool! I would recommend though that the doc for doing the install and the video be updated a bit. The doc makes some assumptions about the reader's skill level and knowledge. In my case, they thought I knew much more than I actually do! :-)  Let me know if you guys need an "idiot" to help "idiot-proof" your docs.
    Thanks,
    Deb
