Introduction

The Broadband Platform is compatible with Linux as well as OS X. However, due to some recent changes that Apple has made to their Xcode development tools, users on Mavericks (OS X 10.9) and Yosemite (OS X 10.10) will need to follow some additional steps to make the installation work.

Installation on Mac Yosemite

The following section describes one developers experiences installing Broadband Platform on their Mac running Yosemite OS.

There are several known issues or limitations related to the BBP on a Mac.

An important requirements is that the Mac has a full installation of Python. The BBP needs optional Python packages including Numpy, matplotlib, and others. In the following description, the installation of anaconda is the process by which this full Python installation is done.

Also, one of the methods, SDSU, does not pass all Unit tests when compiled on a Mac. This is a known issue that was introduced converting from Intel to Gnu compilers. This issue will cause of the twelve BBP Unit Tests to fail on the Mac. We will provide a resolution as soon as possible.

  1. Install anaconda python:

http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install.html

  1. Evaluate Mac environment:

Bring up terminal Env Which python

scecadms-MBP:~ maechlin$ env TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm-256color TMPDIR=/var/folders/52/gd67hpb90f9b_3qftg4hnn_00000gt/T/ Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.JEvsdrGEeL/Render TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=343.7 TERM_SESSION_ID=177D5090-D37D-4EFD-998D-9290C7DD789B USER=maechlin SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.WDI4RcLb1g/Listeners __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1FA:0x0:0x0 PATH=/Users/maechlin/anaconda/bin:/Users/maechlin/.composer/vendor/drush/drush/:/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.5.14/bin:/opt/local/gmt/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/Developer/Tools/Panda3D:/usr/texbin PWD=/Users/maechlin LANG=en_US.UTF-8 XPC_FLAGS=0x0 XPC_SERVICE_NAME=0 SHLVL=1 HOME=/Users/maechlin PYTHONPATH=/Users/maechlin/anaconda/lib:/Users/maechlin/Documents/dev/workspace/lib/python LOGNAME=maechlin _=/usr/bin/env scecadms-MBP:~ maechlin$ which python /Users/maechlin/anaconda/bin/python

  1. Download 6 files from BBP web site:
  1. Do md5 sum check like this:

bbp-dist-15.3.0.tar.gz bbp-dist-15.3.0.tar.gz.md5 labasin-velocity-model-15.3.0.tar.gz labasin-velocity-model-15.3.0.tar.gz.md5 northridge-validation-15.3.0.tar.gz northridge-validation-15.3.0.tar.gz.md5 scecadms-MBP:bbp_2015 maechlin$ cat bbp-dist-15.3.0.tar.gz.md5 24d88c5a22543409e89a22d64b451f85 bbp-dist-15.3.0.tar.gz scecadms-MBP:bbp_2015 maechlin$ md5 bbp-dist-15.3.0.tar.gz MD5 (bbp-dist-15.3.0.tar.gz) = 24d88c5a22543409e89a22d64b451f85 scecadms-MBP:bbp_2015 maechlin$ cat labasin-velocity-model-15.3.0.tar.gz.md5 f24dc01a6b1bf533b83067fbaa75c9d3 labasin-velocity-model-15.3.0.tar.gz scecadms-MBP:bbp_2015 maechlin$ md5 labasin-velocity-model-15.3.0.tar.gz MD5 (labasin-velocity-model-15.3.0.tar.gz) = f24dc01a6b1bf533b83067fbaa75c9d3 scecadms-MBP:bbp_2015 maechlin$ cat northridge-validation-15.3.0.tar.gz.md5 d4f396be3b29082841ddd4622f39cabb northridge-validation-15.3.0.tar.gz scecadms-MBP:bbp_2015 maechlin$ md5 northridge-validation-15.3.0.tar.gz MD5 (northridge-validation-15.3.0.tar.gz) = d4f396be3b29082841ddd4622f39cab

  1. Check xcode on Mac. Yosemite. XCODE Version 6.3
  1. Check on Mac Python installation.Use anaconda because it includes many of the packages, such as numpy and matplotlib that are required by bbp.

Also, this version can be installed without root access, which I did in my Mac account User Maechlin

https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/

  1. At command line which gcc, gcc -v

scecadms-MBP:~ maechlin$ which gcc /usr/bin/gcc scecadms-MBP:~ maechlin$ gcc -v Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.49) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0 Thread model: posix scecadms-MBP:~ maechlin$


5. Issue is no fortran installed. Details to install fortran https://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/HUGG/Installing+the+GNU+compilers+on+Mac+OS+X

Download the gcc compiler for Yosemite to the downloads direction. Then run as sudo to install gcc and gfortran.

gunzip gcc-4.9-bin.tar.gz

sudo tar xvf gcc-4.9-bin.tar -C /

This installs things in root, in /usr/local/…

6. Download the three tar files and put them on a mac and create the data structure defined in the installation guide. /Users/Maechlin/Documents/dev/bbp_2015/15.3.0 ../bbp_gf ../bbp_val ../bbp_data

7. Now, in the src directory, the make file builds without error.

8. Now the ./UnitTests.py fails, unable to find pyproj

https://github.com/jswhit/pyproj

Go to pyproj, download, build and install

python setup.py build python setup.py install (with sudo if necessary). To test, run python -c "import pyproj; pyproj.test()"


9. Now ./UnitTests.py gives deprecation wanings, but all tests pass.

scecadms-MBP:tests maechlin$ ./UnitTests.py /Users/maechlin/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/cbook.py:137: MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: The matplotlib.mpl module was deprecated in version 1.3. Use `import matplotlib as mpl` instead.

ok

The BBPToolbox does not pass, but this is a known limitation of the BBP installation

OS X 10.9 Mavericks

Installing OS X on Mavericks is possible by following these steps:

1) Install Xcode from the Mac App Store.
2) Install the Xcode command line tools. To do this, in your Terminal window, please type in sudo xcode-select --install. A dialog box will pop-up asking if you want to install the command line tools. Please choose "OK" on this box.
3) Then install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org. MacPorts helps install the requirements to compile the Broadband Platform. The version of MacPorts we used was 2.3.3. Please note that to install MacPorts you must agree to the Xcode license terms. After running the MacPorts installer, please go to your Terminal and run the command sudo xcodebuild -license.
4) Install GCC 4.8 using the following command: sudo port install gcc48
​​​​5) Select the new compiler as the default compiler using the command: sudo port select gcc mp-gcc48
6) Install the PIP package manager for Python, using the command: sudo easy_install pip
