Hello everybody,

I have a question about using different Python environments.  
That’s my basis:  
We use the Nullspace environments on a server (There are all installed). I get a remote connection to the server and will work on it. But I don’t have the admin rights, so I try to script locally on my Notebook in my Python environment. But now I have the problem, that I don’t have the needed packages for Nullspace on my Notebook. For example nsem.

Is there the possibility to work locally on my Notebook for script a  
Python program using the nessosery packages or I have to write them on the server and install them in a Python environment. And if it is so, does the connection to Nullspace get automatic or what is the procedure?

Thank you for helping

Michael

Michael,

Thanks for your question. On the server, you’ll find a Python whl file located at /opt/nsem/share/nsem/python-package/ (assuming the default installation path). You can copy that wheel file to any computer and install into your local environment. It should work with regular Python venvs or Conda environments.

Please let me know if that works for you.

Daniel
