Describe the bug Installation failure with "subprocess.CalledProcessError"

I installed julia in WSL Ubuntu by command line. Then, run: pip install -U pysr Yet, python -c 'import pysr; pysr.install()' did not work. Please see error message below.

Version (please include the following information):

• OS: Win 10, WSL2, Ubuntu 20.04
• julia version 1.4.1
• Python 3.8.10
• pip
• PySR version 0.11.9
• Does the bug still appear with the latest version of PySR? Yes

Configuration

• What are your PySR settings? Still installing
• What dataset are you running on? NA
• If possible, please share a minimal code example that produces the error. NA

Error message Add the error message here, or whatever other information would be useful for debugging. log below: ~/pysr$ python3 -c 'import pysr; pysr.install()' Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/flyme2004/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pysr/julia_helpers.py", line 74, in install _julia_version_assertion() File "/home/flyme2004/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pysr/julia_helpers.py", line 223, in _julia_version_assertion if not is_julia_version_greater_eq(version=(1, 6, 0)): File "/home/flyme2004/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pysr/julia_helpers.py", line 122, in is_julia_version_greater_eq juliainfo = _load_juliainfo() File "/home/flyme2004/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pysr/julia_helpers.py", line 23, in _load_juliainfo juliainfo = JuliaInfo.load(julia="julia") File "/home/flyme2004/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/julia/juliainfo.py", line 87, in load raise subprocess.CalledProcessError( subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['julia', '-e', '...']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Additional context I have searched the issue log, yet could not find any clue. Appreciate any comment. Looking forward to apply PySR in my new paper.

testing newer version of julia

Looks like it can’t find the location of Julia. Check your PATH variable?

[MilesCranmer]

julia version 1.4.1

this also won’t work, you need Julia 1.6 or higher

Hi Miles,

Thank you. I believe I have resolved it. The PySR runs well with the example!

Another Note: I could not download package in Julia unless changing the source: export JULIA_PKG_SERVER="https://mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn/julia" in the ubuntu terminal. Perhaps because I am using it from China.

With kind regards,

Mike

Awesome! Glad to hear it’s working.
