Description

IN:06685497

We have 9.1. And now also 24.1.0.

9.4 can't be installed from bindist because it requires a newer glibc, needs building from source.

https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/releases/tag/v9.4.0

(Note: the newer versions have bindists for CentOS 7 so I installed 24.1.0 from that too).

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the repository currently builds or installs EnergyPlus 9.1 and 24.1.0, then use the linked v9.4.0 release as the source reference. Done means EnergyPlus 9.4.0 builds from source despite the bindist/glibc limitation and is installable on the target RC platform.
