Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble getting any of the paegan functionality to work, try running the tests:

git clone git@github.com:asascience-open/paegan-transport.git`
cd paegan-transport
pip install pytest
python -m pytest -s

If you want to run the model_controller or shoreline tests, you will need to edit the test files with paths appropriate for your system. Default is /data/lm with /data/lm/bathy and /data/lm/shore filled in with the files below.

Some tests require large files that are not in source control. You can get them here:

• ETOPO1 Global Bathymetry (ETOPO1_Bed_g_gmt4.grd)
• Shoreline files (unzip) (shore.zip)
