conda config --add channels http://conda.lsst.codes/sims |
Note: if you have installed sims conda binaries in the past, you may have an 'eupsforge.net' channel in your ~/.condarc file. This channel no longer exists and should be removed from your ~/.condarc file.
3) Install the desired sims and apps packages

- If you have issues with installation, first check that your system meets the minimum requirements listed here: https://pipelines.lsst.io/install/newinstall.html#prerequisites, including having git-lfs set up. Note that you need cmake – if installation of 'mariadb' fails, you probably do not have cmake installed ('conda install cmake' is an easy way to get it).
- Check for other known issues here: https://pipelines.lsst.io/known-issues.html#installation-issues
- You can also search for similar problems on https://community.lsst.org/
- If you are having issues specifically with pyephem or healpy on a Mac, check for the existence of a /Developer directory. This directory is obsolete after upgrading to newer versions of XCode, but not removed by the XCode installer. Rename the /Developer directory and pyephem will install.
- If you are using your own python, be sure to check the Using Your Own Python page. In particular, on Linux, some lsst_apps packages will currently fail to build if the "nomkl" package is not installed in anaconda.
- On a Mac, make sure you have accepted the terms on XCode. You can do this by opening the Xcode.app (should be in your Applications folder).
- git can fail, complaining about not having an https helper. If your native git version is > 1.7, you can probably use that rather than the LSST installed git.
- If all else fails, it's usually an issue with some environment variables interfering with the installation. You can create a new user and install the stack there. You can quickly login/out of a new user account as follows: First make a new admin-level user in System Preferences->Users and Groups, and then click on your name in the top right hand corner of the screen. A drop-down menu should appear, offering you a choice of other users to log in as. You might have to toggle the check box in System Preferences->Users and Groups->Login Options first though.
