Ubuntu installation instructions seem to not be working #130

This is using Ubuntu via WSL on windows. Following the installation instruction in the README, I get the following output: ` sudo apt-get install python-dev ipython python-numpy python-matplotlib python-scipy cython

I faced similar problems when I tried to test the tools today.

How I got it running in Ubuntu was first installing python3-dev using $ sudo apt-get install python3-dev (seems to be required to be able to compile the C code)

Then you can install the python packages using pip: $ pip3 install ipython numpy matplotlib scipy cython

I recommend installing the python packages inside an virtual environment.

Then compile the C code in software/models/utilFunctions_C $ python compileModule.py build_ext --inplace

For the plotting to work I also had to install tkinter $ sudo apt install python3.8-tk

I noticed some bugs related to plotting, for example when running the STFS analysis in models_GUI. TypeError from matplotlib. I was able to get those working for the default examples by changing the array dimensions, but not sure if it works in general.

It seems that the SMS-tools have some compatibility issues with a lot of python package.

I suggested you to use Pycharm so you can choose yourself an old version of these modules. For example, I am on python 3.7 and I use the matplotlib version (3.5.0), numpy version (1.21.0), and scipy version (1.7.3).

With the python console of PyCharm, you can see which of those have not been recognised and try to downgrade it
