Question: Is there an easy way to install NetID on LInux

[adelabriere]

Hi, is there an easy way to install NetID on Linux, for example a container, notably to run it on an HPC cluster ? I am trying to find a way but it is actually quite complex given the number of moving part.

Hi Alexis C Running NetID on a cluster is something I am very interested in. Installing the optimization module from IBM, namely CPLEX, in a cluster is difficult to me, with both technical and possible license issues. I did once manage run the codes before optimization, but I had to save the intermediate file, move it back to my own computer, and perform optimization. Happy to discuss how to make a container for the algorithm and hopefully we can run it on a cluster in the future.

To be honest, I also meet this problem on linux. But I thinks we should to read the README of cplexAPI directly:

https://github.com/cran/cplexAPI/blob/master/inst/INSTALL#L21

Bellow the command line can work on my linux machine.

R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="  \ 
 --with-cplex-lib='/usr/lib' \ 
 --with-cplex-include='/usr/include' \ 
 --with-cplex-link='-lcplex -m64 -lm -pthread' \ 
 --with-cplex-cflags='-m64 -fPIC'" \ 
 cplexAPI_1.4.0.tar.gz

Hope it can help others.

For CPLEX installation on linux, if you use archlinux, there a PKGBUILD (bash script) to build the package, then we can use system-level package manager (pacman) to install it.

Similarly, this method is suitable for ubuntu, centos and other system.

I can help you if you have any problem in installing it on linux.

So the full process is:

1. Download cplex manually at IBM website, assume we have downloaded it, and the file name is: ILOG_COS_20.10_LINUX_X86_64.bin

2. Then at archlinux, you can run:

pacman -G cplex
cd cplex
cp /path/to/ILOG_COS_20.10_LINUX_X86_64.bin ./
   
makepkg -s -f -m
   
sudo pacman -U cplex-20.10-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

3. Install cplexAPI:

R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="  \ 
 --with-cplex-lib='/usr/lib' \ 
 --with-cplex-include='/usr/include' \ 
 --with-cplex-link='-lcplex -m64 -lm -pthread' \ 
 --with-cplex-cflags='-m64 -fPIC'" \ 
 cplexAPI_1.4.0.tar.gz
