HPC BRC OpenSees installation without sudo privileges

[luisberg]

Hello,

I have been looking for a way to install OpenSees within the HPC Berkeley Research Computing Savio Clusters environment. So far, I've followed the instructions on here: https://vijaypolimeru.github.io/researc ... buntu.html

The issue, however, is with the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install make
sudo apt-get install tcl8.6
sudo apt-get install tcl8.6-dev
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install gfortran
sudo apt-get install python3-dev

Some of these are pre-installed in the HPC environment but for the ones that are not (such as tcl8.6) it is not possible to add them in. From the software requirements listed here, https://docs-research-it.berkeley.edu/s ... -software/, the software must be "Be capable of installation without root/sudo privileges." Does this mean I will not be able to install OpenSees in the HPC environment?

The last time I tried I got a hefty catalog of errors, most of them looking like:
g++: error: /global/home/users/ /OpenSees/SRC/domain/pattern/TclPatternCommand.o: No such file or directory
g++: error: /global/home/users/ /OpenSees/SRC/domain/pattern/TclSeriesCommand.o: No such file or directory

Any help on this would be much appreciated.
