pip install macs2 works fine to install MACS2 without easyBuild (c.f. https://github.com/taoliu/MACS/blob/master/INSTALL.rst)
I have only ever done this without virtualenv, thus, my macs2 installs have always been direct into the system wide python libraries. “For shame”, you say. “Good thing you are now using EasyBuild and modules”, you say. “Alas, there is no easyconfig for MACS”, I say. So here is what I’m poised to try tomorrow or the next day: - create an easyconfig for macs2 - based on easyblocks/generic/pythonpackage.py - using a toolchain which provides a python. say: Python/2.7.3-goolf-1.7.20 - possibly(?) modified (somehow?) to provide a compatible NumPy (>= 1.6) I appreciate any feedback or pointers to examples or advice on best practices in this regard. Now, I want to appreciate best practices for installing such applications . My next attempt will be to eb ImageMagick (built with --enable-shared=yes), followed somehow by the perl “Image::Magick” module, and I welcome similar pointers. Cheers, ~ Malcolm Cook
