If you happen to be an Intel Mac user, this might help with your performance issues when starting up unep-gpml

To use, install vagrant and virtualbox then run

vagrant up
vagrant ssh
# now you're in the VM
cd unep-gpml
docker-compose up
# Grab a coffee or tea, because this will take a while...

It's recommended to give the VM a good amount of RAM (4GB+) and CPU (4 cores), otherwise you might wait a while for thing to start. Edit Vagrantfile (grep "cpus").

Notes

This checks out the project into the VM, meaning you'll need to edit it with the VM. The alternative is cloning unep-gpml into this folder. It's mounted into the VM (probably with sshfs so, you might not see the performance you like).

You can then edit the files in there and modify your commands to get up and running to

vagrant up
vagrant ssh
# now you're in the VM
cd /vagrant/unep-gpml  # <-- notice the /vagrant, the CWD is mounted there
docker-compose up
# Grab a coffee or tea, because this will take a while...
