FAQ

How do I run my run bundle on a GPU?

See our article on running jobs that use GPUs.

How do I share a bundle only with other CodaLab users?

By default, all bundles (and worksheets) on CodaLab are public (and we encourage this). But if you need to make your bundle private to you and your team, check out the instructions here.

I received an ImportError because I don't have the appropriate library installed. How do I install libraries in CodaLab?

CodaLab runs all run bundles in Docker containers. See our article about specifying Docker containers. You can see how to make your own Docker images.

How do I check how much space my bundles are using?

You can use cl uinfo to find out how much disk space you have left. To find out which bundles are taking the most space, you can check "My Dashboard" or type cl search .mine size=.sort-.

Common Errors

I upgraded CodaLab and now I'm getting an error like: ValueError: unknown url type: local/rest/worksheets?specs=%2F

Run cl alias main https://worksheets.codalab.org and retry your command.

When I try to execute a command like make on CodaLab, it fails because of "read-only" permissions. What do I do?

Each bundle uploaded to CodaLab is read-only. If a command you are running creates new files, you'll have to create a duplicate of the in the run command. For example, instead of running cl run :src 'cd src && make, run cl run src-orig:src 'cp -RL src-orig src && cd src && make'. Your freshly compiled executable will now be present in the src directory inside the last bundle.
