Magic function `bash ` not found
- by inspectorG4dget
I have a bunch of simulations that I want to run on a high-performance cluster, on which I should make reservations to get computing time. Since the reservations are bounded by time, I am developing an automation script that I can scp into the cluster and run. This script will then download the relevant simulation files, run them, and upload the results.
Part of this automation script is in bash (cp, scp, etc) and the rest is in python. In order to develop this automation, I am using an IPython notebook.
So far, I've coded all the python automation stuff in my IPython notebook and am trying to write the bash part of it now.
However, it seems that the magic %%bash doesn't work in my IPython notebook. I get the following error when I have this code in my cell:
Cell
%%bash
echo hi
Error
File "<ipython-input-22-62ec98e35224>", line 3
echo hi
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
On a whim, I tried this:
Cell
%%bash
print "hi"
Error
hi
ERROR: Magic function `bash` not found.
So I tried this with %%system, %%! and %%shell. But none of those work; they all give me the same error.
Why is this happening? How can I fix this?
