Installation step - pip install

[yanspikesorting]

Dear Erick, I am trying to install and use your code in windows - anaconda promt. But facing an issue that I am not sure if related to the requirements.txt file: I am using the following lines and getting errors when trying the pip install steps, please see below:

In C:\Documents\TEST\

mkdir WaveMAP_Env cd WaveMAP_Env

%From https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/ curl https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe -o miniconda.exe start /wait "" .\miniconda.exe /S del miniconda.exe

conda create --name WaveMAP_Env python=3.8 conda activate WaveMAP_Env

pip install -r requirements.txt %ERROR 1 pip install wavemap-paper %ERROR 2

%ERROR 1 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% pip install -r requirements.txt

I really appreciate any comment on this, thanks---

It looks like you are missing the appropriate C++ compiler? Specifically, error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ Unfortunately, CyLouvain is not well-maintained (and hasn't been updated for 6 years) so I no longer suggest using it. I suggest dropping it from the requirements.txt and reinstalling. Honestly, you don't need most of the things in the requirements.txt file, that was just a file generated for my own use on my particular computer. I instead suggest you use WaveMAP by following the example here.

Let me know if you have any questions!
