Test Installations

We aim to make sdss_install as robust as possible. sdss_install has been designed to work on Linux and Mac OSx, with Lua and Tcsh modules environments and bash terminal shells. However sdss_install may behave differently under specific combinations of operating systems, Python versions, Modules versions, etc. If you encounter any problems with the installation of sdss_install itself, or its use to install SDSS software products, please file a new Github Issue. Currently, sdss_install has been tested to work on the following systems:

Operating System	Module Environment	Python(s)	Shell
Mac OS X 10.14.6	Tcsh Module 4.2.4	Anaconda 2.7.15, 3.6.7, 3.7.3	bash 3.2.57(1)-release
Mac OS X 10.13.6	Lua Modules 7.8	Anaconda 3.7.2	bash 3.2.57(1)-release
GNU/Linux 3.10.0	Lua Modules 8.2.7	3.6.9	bash 4.2.46(2)-release

We also use Travis-CI to run our test suite, which includes tests for installation of sdss_install, as well as a few SDSS software products versioned in both git and svn. The latest run of Travis can be found at https://travis-ci.org/github/sdss/sdss_install. Travis can automate product testing on a variety of operating systems, environment setups, and Python environments. More information on Travis’s build environments can be found here. While Travis constantly updates its environment images, sdss_install is currently being tested on the following setups:

Operating System	Module Environment	Python(s)	Shell	Module Installer
Ubuntu Xenial Linux	Lua Modules 5.8	2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8	bash 4.3.48(1)-release	apt-get 1.2.31
Mac OS X 10.14.6	Lua Modules 8.3.10	3.7.7	bash 3.2.57(1)-release	homebrew 2.2.16
Mac OS X 10.13.6	Lua Modules 8.3.10	3.6.5	bash 3.2.57(1)-release	homebrew 2.2.16
