The following set of instructions is intended for the creation of a shared Python virtual environment within a group.
The Python standard library provides a lightweight solution for creating virtual environments via the venv module.
Navigate to ENGN3903's NCI project directory, du53:
$ cd /scratch/du53
Load the Appropriate Python Version: Ensure you're using the Python version compatible with geemap, such as Python 3.9.2:
$ module load python3/3.9.2
Create the Virtual Environment: Use Python's built-in venv module to create a virtual environment. We'll name this environment "engn3903_py392":
$ python3 -m venv engn3903_py392
Activate the Virtual Environment: Use the source command to activate the virtual environment:
$ source engn3903_py392/bin/activate
Install Required Packages:
We have a list of required packages in the /scratch/du53/requirement.txt file. You can install these packages into your virtual environment using pip:
$ python3 -m pip install -r /scratch/du53/requirements.txt
Please follow these instructions carefully to set up your shared virtual environment correctly.
