annotald install failure

[JethroNCIS]

I fail to install annotald because it appears distribute-0.6.21 is not available.

pip2 install --upgrade pip

I have tried this several times with and without sudo on several different laptops running Mac OSX 10.9. In April 2016 I did successfully install annotald under 10.9. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

Based on my testing, the distribute file is available. Can you please copy the full traceback into a comment here, so that I can examine it more fully?

[JethroNCIS]

Hi Aaron,

thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Which version of Mac OS do you have success with? (My version is 10.9.5, which did work to install annotald a year or so ago, but on another machine. I am sticking to 10.9.5 so I can run EXMARaLDA which we use for transcribing our Swiss-German data. I have run into problems using EXMARaLDA with newer version of Mac OS.)

Here is what happens when I try to install annotald

All the best,

Manuela.

The problem arises because recently the python website was changed not to allow unsecured HTTP requests (only secured HTTPS ones). But, an old version of pip still wants to use the unsecured requests.

As a workaround, you should be able to do:

sudo pip install annotald -i https://pypi.python.org/simple/

The -i and following URL tell pip to use the secure installation. Let me know if this works for you!

[JethroNCIS]

I tried your suggestion, but it does not appear to work. Here is the copy of the extract from running it in the terminal window. It seems to make an unsecured request still.

Hmm. You may have to install a newer version of pip. Try the instructions from https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/, under "Installing with get-pip.py". (You'll need to use sudo)

[JethroNCIS]

I (well, my partner) updated python to 2.7.14 and pip to 9.0.1: projet$ python -V Python 2.7.14 projet$ pip -V pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

However the annotald install fails just as before. I added --log on pip and this shows that indeed the https connections are being made for all components until distribute. Then it seems setuptools is requesting http not https: here is the extract showing a https call, and then the failure when an http request is made,

Does this mean it is the setup.py file that has a hard coded http rather than https? We do not know enough python to know what to do next. Is there some way to pass the https url into setup.py?

Thanks,

Manuela

P.S. It still fails trying to do this http download of distribute-0.6.21 even if that has been installed explicitly via pip install distribute==0.6.21. (That appears to work).

[pfaria]

On Mac, I've come to the following solution:

General:

• Download pip: curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
• Install 'pip': sudo python get-pip.py
• Install 'virtualenv': sudo pip install virtualenv

ANNOTALD:

• Create virtual environment: virtualenv annotald

• Activate it: source annotald/bin/activate

• Download nltk 2.0.5: https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/50/9e/39418026bf8013bbc2852c7aec3fb21e4339f6cd694934496d67a19b53b8/nltk-2.0.5.tar.gz

• sudo pip install distribute

• sudo pip install nose tornado

• sudo pip install PyYAML

• sudo pip install six==1.11.0 --ignore-installed

• NLTK [in its unpacked folder]:

  • Open 'setup.py' and comment (with a '#') the lines 'import distribute_setup' and 'distribute_setup.use_setuptools()'
  • sudo python setup.py install

• sudo pip install annotald

Work sessions:

• source annotald/bin/activate
• Run Annotald as needed
• deactivate

I believe that the latest version of annotald (1.3.10, released today) solves these problems. Please let me know if this is not the case. Thanks.
