Installation

Info

pybes3 requires Python 3.9 or higher.

Install pybes3 using pip

pip install pybes3

Users on lxlogin server

"lxlogin server" refers to the login server of IHEP computation clusters. If you are not using the lxlogin server, you can skip this section.

Since there is a quota limitation on the user's home directory (~/), you need to create symbolic links for ~/.local and ~/.cache, which contain pip packages and caches installed in "user mode":

# Check whether `.local` and `.cache` directories already exist.
# If so, move them to somewhere outside ~/
ls -a ~
mv ~/.local /path/to/somewhere/
mv ~/.cache /path/to/somewhere/

# If no `.local` or `.cache` exists, create them
mkdir /path/to/somewhere/.local
mkdir /path/to/somewhere/.cache

# After moving or creating them, link them back to ~
ln -s /path/to/somewhere/.local ~/.local
ln -s /path/to/somewhere/.cache ~/.cache

Using pybes3 under BOSS8 environment

If you are using pybes3 under a BOSS8 environment, you must run the following commands after setting up the BOSS8 environment:

export PYTHONPATH=`python -m site --user-site`:$PYTHONPATH
export PATH=`python -m site --user-base`/bin:$PATH

Warning

Do not add these commands to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.bashrc), since they will conflict with the default Python environment (without BOSS8).
