• QHOME=C:q

You have an error in your QHOME variable. Correct one should be either QHOME=C:\q, or QHOME=C:\path\to\q.

PyQ was not tested when compiled via cygwin. For use with conda, we provide instructions on how to easily install PyQ in coda environment with the kdb+ personal edition.

conda install -c enlnt -c kx pyq

[jdoraemon]

Thank you so much for pointing out that silly error. I tried following your instruction on conda install, but I get the following PackagesNotFoundError:

base) C:\Users\Jay Huang>conda install -c enlnt -c kx pyq Solving environment: failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

Are you able to shed some light on this please? Thanks

We don't publish windows builds on anaconda, only macOS and linux. Your best bet would be to run pip install pyq then, but properly setting QHOME.
