How to find out what cylc versions are available?

hi there,

how would i find out what versions of cylc are available on my system?

for cylc 8 i’m using version 8.1.1 but would be interested to know what other versions are available?

thanks,

jonny

That will depend a lot on exactly which strategy your site uses to provide Cylc:

which cylc

Will tell you quite a lot -

If your site uses some variant on the standard Cylc wrapper then it might be worth:

$ grep CYLC_HOME_ROOT $(which cylc)
CYLC_HOME_ROOT="${CYLC_HOME_ROOT:-/path/to/somewhere}"
... other output ...

$ ls -la /path/to/somewhere
cylc -> cylc-7.8.1
cylc-7.8.1
cylc-8.1.2-2
cylc-8.1.2-3
cylc-8.1.4

Would give you an idea.

This might be better asked of your site admin though.

In the future we may support this via the wrapper script: https://github.com/cylc/cylc-flow/issues/4555
