Hey everyone! We have a need to utilize libreoffice in one of our automated tasks via a notebook. I have tried to install via a init script that I attach to the cluster, but sometimes the program gets installed and sometimes it doesn't. For obvious reasons, I need to guarantee that these tasks run successfully. Here is my init script that resides in my workspace: "install_libreoffice.sh":
#!/bin/bash
echo "----------------INIT SCRIPT---------------"
apt-get update
echo "----------------Installing libreoffice---------------"
apt-get install -y libreoffice
echo "----------------Installing python3-uno---------------"
apt-get install -y python3-uno
echo "----------------Installing poppler-utils---------------"
apt-get install -y poppler-utils
echo "----------INIT SCRIPT COMPLETE------------"
When it is successfully installed I can run the following cell and it returns expected results:
import subprocess
import os
result = subprocess.run(["libreoffice", "--version"], capture_output=True, text=True)
print(result.stdout)
It will work and then I will terminate the cluster and start it and it won't work. I have views the init_script logs and everything looks good, but the program will not be installed and %sh ps will not show the process running.
I have tried to install it in a %sh cell, but that doesn't work either. What is the best way to get this consistently installed on a cluster?
Thanks,
Scott
