5.2 Installation steps
5.2.1 Build LSF Python API
1) Logon the Windows host on which VS2015 is installed.
2) Install swig from http://www.swig.org
3) Get LSF Python API code from https://github.com/IBMSpectrumComputing/lsf-python-api.git
4) Unzip this patch to any directory <LSF_EXT_TOP>
5) Open "VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" and type following command:
set PYTHON_INCLUDE=<Python_Top_Dir>\include
set PYTHON_LIB=<Python_Top_Dir>\libs\python37.lib (or python35.lib, python36.lib, based on your python version)
set LSF_LIB=<LSF_EXT_TOP>\lib\win2003-x64
set LSF_INCLUDE=<LSF_EXT_TOP>\include
cd <lsf-python-api_Dir>\winbuild
build.bat
(Note: The LSF Python API built with a certain Python3 version is not compatible with different version of Python3. For example, the LSF Python API built with Python 3.7 can not work with Python 3.5 or 3.6. If you need work with different Python, you need compile different version of LSF Python API in step 5.)
6) LSF Python API files will be generated under directory <lsf-python-api_Dir>\pythonlsf
5.2.2 Install LSF Python API:
1) Copy the directory <lsf-python-api_Dir>\pythonlsf to <Python_Top_Dir>\Lib\site-packages
(Note: you can copy the directory to other Windows host on which LSF10 cluster is installed.)
2) Verify the LSF Python API. Open a command line window, run the examples under directory <lsf-python-api_Dir>\examples, for example:
C:\> python lsf-python-api\examples\cluster_info.py
(Note: You may need install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145)
