Local install to some environments may cause trouble with precalculated package versions in requirement.txt

[nakytoe]

Describe the bug

The package versions specified in requirements.txt may not install in all local environments (if not using docker), and may have to be manually installed.

Desktop

• OS: MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 / Apple M1 (M1 may be part of the issue)
• Project template version

How to fix

1) Recalculate the requirements with pip-tools locally and then install

or

2) manually install the packages in spesified in .in files

Note that both of these may again result in reproducibility issues in other environments. Container development is recommended.

Some spesific solutions to this issue

Project setup (Apple Silicon): Prerequisites:

• python 3.8 -- pip -- virtualenv
  • brew -- openblas: brew install openblas export OPENBLAS=$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew --prefix openblas) export CFLAGS="-falign-functions=8 ${CFLAGS}"

Python project setup:

pip install virtualenv
python -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install ipykernel
pip install nbdev

May be due to differences between ARM & x86 (default) architectures

solution: container development. Local install not encouraged.
