I am currently attempting to install the LSST science pipeline to access the sims_feature scheduler function and am running into an issue while attempting to rebuild the ‘lsst_distrib’. I encounter an error when building product 'astro_metadata_translator. Can anyone help me resolve the issue?
The failures you are seeing are I believe due to astropy being unable to download the list of observatory sites. You may find this string in the test output (in one of the files in lsstsw/build/astro_metadata_translator/tests/.tests/):
AstropyUserWarning: Could not access the online site list. Falling back on the built-in version, which is rather limited.
You will need to ensure that you have Internet access during the build process or that astropy has cached this file and the file of IERS data.
