Urgent: SMOKE v4.7 installation problem

Hi,

I am installing SMOKE v4.7 based on https://www.cmascenter.org/download/software/smoke/smoke_4-7.cfm?DB=TRUE. instructions.

Then, I did the following steps:

  1. type “csh” and then “ps” scripts in Linux

  2. download 3 main files, put the in a folder, define SMK_HOME, and then install SMOKE

  3. go to .cshrc file (it is a hidden file) and define $SMK_HOME there as well

  4. then go to assigns folder and type “source ASSIGNS.nctox.cmaq.cb05_soa.us12-nc”. Once I typed this, I received this message (I am not sure if it is error or not):
    NOTE: AUTO_DELETE script setting is not set.
    Default is N to not delete I/O API intermediate and output files

  5. then I went to $SCRIPTS/run folder and tried to run test case. One I run test cases (for example “smk_area_nctox.csh”), I have received this error (and I dont know how I can resolve this issue):
    SMOKE ---------------
    Copyright ©2004 Environmental Modeling for Policy Development

    Program SMKREPORT, Version SMOKEv4.7_Oct2019
    Online documentation
    http://www.cep.unc.edu/empd/products/smoke

    Program SMKREPORT to take any combination of SMOKE intermed-
    iate files (but at least an inventory file) and generate
    one or more user-defined reports in any combination of output
    files.

    You will need to enter the logical names for the input and
    output files (and to have set them prior to program start,
    using "setenv ").

    You may use END_OF-FILE (control-D) to quit the program
    during logical-name entry. Default responses are given in
    brackets [LIKE THIS] and can be accepted by hitting the
    key.

I really need your urgent help to resolve this issue, please.

Also, can you please tell me where can I see the results of test case?

Thank you

I do not see any error message in your posting. Not sure what you want us to assist you. Looks like you went through the SMOKE installation chapter fine and then. Go to the running the SMOKE test case section and the instruction the step by step.

Thank you so much for your reply.

I follow the step-by-step procedure that you sent.

  1. For example, once I type “smk_area_nctox.csh”, the program starts to do something and I think the following message is error, if I am not wrong (it says I have to define input and output!):
    You will need to enter the logical names for the input and
    output files (and to have set them prior to program start,
    using “setenv (logicalname) (pathname)”).

  2. Moreover, once I finished running all scripts of test case, I went to $LOGS folder and type “grep ERROR *”, then I found the following errors:

Can you please help me in these two problems?

Based on grow messages, the runs went successfully. No error seems occurred. The messages you are seeing is either warning messages and notifications that the number of error messages is set to certain many numbers. Looks like the SMOKE has been installed successfully!

If you want to learn how to use the SMOKE for your emissions modeling, I would suggest you to sign up for upcoming SMOKE Online training course. There will be one in July if you are interested in.

Thanks a lot.

Can you please give me more information about the online training course? Do you have its registration website?

Please check our the CMAS training website. It’s not official yet but there could be a new training in the weeks of [Jul 27] (SMOKE) and [Aug 3] (CMAQ), Let me know if you are interested in this July training.
