Porting CESM 2.1.5 error:root:Command

[shiannder]

Hi,

I am trying to port the CESMv2.1.5 into my plasma supercomputer at the University of New Hampshire.

I follow the steps from the websites:
Download CESM — CESM Tutorial

Downloading CESM2 (CESM2.1) — CESM CESM2.1 documentation

I pasted the following in my command line:

• git clone GitHub - ESCOMP/CESM: The Community Earth System Model my_cesm_code
• cd my_cesm_code
• git checkout release-cesm2.1.5
• ./manage_externals/checkout_externals

But the return prompt is

[jsl1063@ln-0002 my_cesm_code]$ ./manage_externals/checkout_externals

to which I wrote with -c instead of -C:

• git -c /mnt/lustre/letscher/jsl1063/my_cesm_code/cime remote add ESMCI_cime GitHub - ESMCI/cime: Common Infrastructure for Modeling the Earth

After trying the "./manage_externals/checkout_externals" again, i get the error code below:

[jsl1063@ln-0002 my_cesm_code]$ ./manage_externals/checkout_externals

ERROR: submodule status has no section, 'CIME/non_py/cprnc'

my "/mnt/lustre/letscher/jsl1063/my_cesm_code/cime/CIME/non_py/cprnc" contains nothing in the directory.

Is there anyway to fix this issue?

Thanks,
James

I suspect that you have a really old version of git on your system. git -C has been supported for quite some time.
