Hi, I am trying to run the UM training simulation suite as part of the NCAS UM training documentation. When I try to run the suite, I get the same error as found on this post: [Failure from rose suite-run](https://cms-helpdesk.ncas.ac.uk/t/failure-from-rose-suite-run/1700)

‘ssh -oBatchMode=yes -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -oConnectTimeout=8 -n ln01 env\ ROSE\_VERSION=2019.01.3\ CYLC\_VERSION=7.8.12\ bash\ -l\ -c\ ‘“$0”\ “$@”’\ rose\ suite-run\ -vv\ -n\ u-db898\ –run=run\ –remote=uuid=01542424-c658-4f69-ae77-ef5f5adfcbd8,now-str=20250507T095027Z,root-dir=’$DATADIR’ # return-code=1, stderr=  
This command has been replaced by: “cylc install”.’

I followed the suggestions from the post linked above and discovered that my cylc versions were different on archer2 and on puma2. On puma2, I am using cylc 7.8.12, and on archer2, the cylc --version command says that I am using cylc 8.4.2.

I suspect that this could be the reason for the ‘cylc install’ error. I tried the export ROSE\_VERSION=2019.01.3 CYLC\_VERSION=7.8.12 command, but this did not work. How can I ensure that the versions are aligned and both version 7.8.12 of cylc?

Thank you!  
Brooke

You must be setting CYLC\_VERISON somewhere on ARCHER - we can’t see where:  
please give us read permissions to your /home and /work space

I think this is because I have previously installed metomi-rose, how would I uninstall it?

I’m guessing, but, try deleting /home/n02/n02/earbsn/.local/bin
