RadVel pip Install Failure due to Inability to Build Wheel (Seemingly Unrelated to cython)

[literalcarys]

Hi there. I created a fresh conda environment for a astrophysics course project, and require RadVel. However when I try to install it (after installing cython on the advice of the other thread), I am left with this message. Any help would be much appreciated.

Building wheels for collected packages: radvel Building wheel for radvel (setup.py) ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error

          ********************************************************************************
          ############################
          # Package would be ignored #
          ############################
          Python recognizes 'radvel.templates' as an importable package[^1],
          but it is absent from setuptools' `packages` configuration.

          This leads to an ambiguous overall configuration. If you want to distribute this
          package, please make sure that 'radvel.templates' is explicitly added
          to the `packages` configuration field.

          Alternatively, you can also rely on setuptools' discovery methods
          (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
          instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).

          You can read more about "package discovery" on setuptools documentation page:

          - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/package_discovery.html

          If you don't want 'radvel.templates' to be distributed and are
          already explicitly excluding 'radvel.templates' via
          `find_namespace_packages(...)/find_namespace` or `find_packages(...)/find`,
          you can try to use `exclude_package_data`, or `include-package-data=False` in
          combination with a more fine grained `package-data` configuration.

          You can read more about "package data files" on setuptools documentation page:

          - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/datafiles.html

          [^1]: For Python, any directory (with suitable naming) can be imported,
                even if it does not contain any `.py` files.
                On the other hand, currently there is no concept of package data
                directory, all directories are treated like packages.

Can you try installing from pip? pip install radvel

Can you try installing from pip? pip install radvel

I have tried that, both in the anaconda environment and straight onto my machine. Unfortunately I get that error above

[bjfultn]

Which OS are you running under?

Which OS are you running under?

I am running Windows 10/11 on my laptop and desktop, getting the same error on both

[bjfultn]

Windows is not supported directly. To run it on a Windows machine you need to install WSL2 and run it under a Linux distro such as Ubuntu.

Have installed WSL2 and Ubuntu and the package installed correctly. Thank you for the assistance!
