Pixi Environments

Three pixi environments are available in the analysis nodes, beamline machines, as well as the jupyter notebook severs.

To activate an environment, in a terminal run the command:

$ nsd-pixi-shell.sh <environment>
# which is a wrapper around the command:
$ pixi shell --manifest-path /usr/local/pixi/<environment>

where <environment> is one of usansred, usansred_qa, and usansred_dev

usansred Environment

The latest stable release of usansred. Typically users will reduce their data in this environment.

usansred-qa Environment

The release-candidate environment. Instrument scientists and computational instrument scientists will carry out testing on this environment to prevent bugs being introduce in the next stable release.

usansred-dev Environment

The environment corresponding to the latest changes in the source code. Instrument scientists and computational instrument scientists will test the latest changes to usansred in this environment.
