XSEDE 2013 SAGA Tutorial

Preparation

This tutorial will use the TACC Virtual Machine (VM) repex1. Log-in via SSH using the username/password you received at the beginning of the tutorial:

ssh <username>@repex1.tacc.utexas.edu

---

Installation

Next, you need to install SAGA-Python in your user account on repex1. Since saga-python, is - as the name suggests - written in Python, you can use virtualenv to create a local installation:

virtualenv $HOME/sagaenv
. $HOME/sagaenv/bin/activate

The SAGA-Python package on PyPi (Python Package Index) that we are using is called saga-python and can be installed via pip:

pip install saga-python
