Move your files to your $WORK directory (/work/group/user) and resubmit

The worker nodes on our clusters have read-only access to the files in
$HOME directories. This means that when a job is submitted from $HOME,
the scheduler cannot write the output and error files in the directory

Next, log in to Crane. The Allinea software uses a `.allinea` directory
in your home directory to store configuration information. Since `/home`
is read-only from the nodes in the cluster, the directory will be
created in `/work` and symlink'd. To do so, run the following commands:
{{% panel theme="info" header="Create and symlink .allinea directory" %}}

rm -rf $HOME/.allinea

versions are available on Crane. Additionally, installs for both Python
2.7 and 3.6 are provided.
### Initial Setup
Theano attempts to write to a `~/.theano` directory in some
circumstances, which can cause errors as the `/home` filesystem is
read-only on HCC machines. As a workaround, create the directory on
`/work` and make a symlink from `/home`:
{{% panel theme="info" header="Create & symlink .theano directory" %}}
{{< highlight bash >}}
mkdir -p $WORK/.theano
ln -s $WORK/.theano $HOME/.theano
{{< /highlight >}}
{{% /panel %}}
This only needs to be done once on each HCC machine.
### Running the CPU version
To use the CPU version, simply load the module and run your Python code.

Shared endpoints created in your `home` directory on HCC servers (with
the exception of Attic) are *read-only*. You may create readable and
writable shared endpoints in your `work` directory (or `/shared`).
Because of size and performance limitations, HCC does not recommend
creating shares in your `home` directory.
