Virtualbox Troublshooting

Warning

It is highly recommended to run eON locally, since hypervision virtualization incurs a significant slowdown.

The virtual machine used for the CECAM-LTS-MAP 2024 event has an older version of eON which must be removed.

To do so:

# Remove the directory
rm -rf "$HOME/software/eon"
# Remove the paths
sed -i.bak '/export PYTHONPATH=\$HOME\/software\/eon:\$PYTHONPATH/d; /export PATH=\$HOME\/software\/eon\/bin:\$HOME\/bin:\/opt\/bin:\$PATH/d' "$HOME/.bashrc"
# Refresh the shell
source "$HOME/.bashrc"

Finally, since most of machines are not configured with enough memory to run ninja (executed by meson) directly, the commands should be modified to:

meson setup bbdir --prefix=$CONDA_PREFIX --libdir=lib
# j1 means use one core only
meson compile -j1 -C bbdir
meson install bbdir

Now everything should be ready to run.
