Good morning Patrick I wonder if you might be able to help me with tracking down status of ANTS on JASMIN. I discovered these instructions, but afraid I failed at step 5 (i.e. python pointing to your path). > **[ANTS on JASMIN - Land Surface Processes Group](https://research.reading.ac.uk/landsurfaceprocesses/software-examples/ants_on_jasmin/)** > > ANTS on JASMIN This should get you started with setting up your environment on JASMIN so that it can use ANcillary Tools and Suites (ANTS). This is not necessary to...Read More \> In any case, I wonder how up-to-date these installations might be, or if you’re aware of any updated guidance on accessing ANTS via Jasmin. I can also ask the ANTS team locally here. Thanks for any insights Huw ---

Hi Huw I just tried the instructions. And it works for me. Do you have access to the ‘ncas\_generic’ group workspace mentioned in item #1? If not, then maybe you can apply to the JASMIN Accounts portal for access? Patrick ---

Hi Patrick Thanks for following up. I had missed the part about ncas\_generic workspace, apologies. I can investigate this further and come back to you if I need to. Can you confirm what version of ANTS is available via your route? i.e. do you update versions, or is this relevant to whenever it was first installed? Huw ---

Hi Huw: The version found in this old version that I still use sometimes is: > > > print(ants. **version** ) > > > 0.6dev I don’t personally update this version. Simon Wilson has an ANTS build working in a Singularity container that works on JASMIN and ARCHER2. It is version 0.15, which is newer. I have used it some, to try to get various ANTS/CAP rose/cylc suites to work on JASMIN with it. It’s pretty easy to use. It is described at: [http://cms.ncas.ac.uk/wiki/ANTSContainer](http://cms.ncas.ac.uk/wiki/ANTSContainer) Patrick ---

Hi Patrick I will investigate the Container option when I can. Thank you Huw ---

Hi Huw: Based upon your query, I also updated the webpage a little, at: [ANTS on JASMIN - Land Surface Processes Group](https://research.reading.ac.uk/landsurfaceprocesses/software-examples/ants_on_jasmin/) Patrick ---
