Installation Problem

Hi All,

I am trying to install lava on Linux:

1- I go to my directory.

2- Then I run this command:

git clone [email protected]:lava-nc/lava-dl.git

3- After a while I am getting this error:

Cloning into 'lava-dl'...
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Can you help me with this error, given that I am able to clone other repos normally without any problem?

On the other way around when I clone the repo by doing:

git clone https://github.com/lava-nc/lava-dl.git

The repo is cloned normally.

However, when I come to the step where I should run (I am done so, after activating a newly installed python environment):
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
I get this error:
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: install.python-poetry.org

Any idea how can I bypass either of the errors.

Thanks.

@Dola47 Continuing from #164 (reply in thread)

Are you trying to install it in your home environment or work/university?

[Dola47]

@bamsumit Yes, it is a notebook for work.

[bamsumit]

@Dola47 you should contact your IT and get the curl instruction working.

[Dola47]

@bamsumit I think IT is not needed, I got it running on Linux, with this workaround.

1- git clone https://github.com/lava-nc/lava-dl.git
2- cd laval-dl
3- python -m venv .venv
4- source .venv/bin/activate.csh
5- pip install poetry
6- pip install --upgrade pip
7- pip install --upgrade pytest 
8- deactivate
9- source .venv/bin/activate.csh (again)
10- poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
11- poetry install

Step 10, and 11 may need to be run several times, if some of the packages failed during running "poetry install"

@Dola47 okay great. Closing this issue. FYI you needed to repeat step 11 because of poetry issue with pip install. The curl install fixes that.
