Could you try it with mamba? I find it resolves packages a lot more successfully.
Also, you should try and stop the default
conda channel from being included. This can slow things down as it has more channels to download and then resolve (a view recommended by mamba devs). Adding -c nodefaults
should do the trick.
I already found a workaround by installing from pip:
conda create -n calliope pip
conda activate calliope
pip install calliope
Nodefaults was not faster either (I stopped after 5 minutes):
~ conda create -c conda-forge -c nodefaults -n calliope calliope
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: unsuccessful attempt using repodata from current_repodata.json, retrying with next repodata source.
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): | failed
I just want to state, that the "Quickstart" instructions, weren't so quick at all ;) which is quite weird as I am creating a new env with only one selected package...
Ok, good to know RE nodefaults. Can you try with mamba? I would highly recommend it as your go-to instead of conda (and we will update our installation instructions accordingly). I also would recommend not mixing conda and pip packages where possible. It might work fine initially but then the environments can become very messy very quickly.
Also, you could try forcing the python version to the highest calliope can be built with: conda create -c conda-forge -c nodefaults -n calliope calliope python=3.9
This should be done by conda by default, but maybe it helps speed things up to pin it explictly.
I heard promising things about mamba, but it is not available as a .deb package, and I don't feel like installing it with sudo tee :D
For my needs I more and more find pip sufficient, as it has binary packages (psycopg2-binary
, pytorch
and so on) as well - reducing the usefulness of conda..?
I am therefore mostly using conda as venv alternative which is globally usable
Setting the python version explicitly did not speed things up for me. How long does this command take on your computer? Maybe this could also be a problem which is only reproducible on Debian12?
EDIT: i could install it after like 10 Minutes - so it has a deterministic end at least :D
It takes less than a minute, but then I have most dependencies cached. It could be a Debian12 thing. I think @sjpfenninger had similar issues on a remote machine recently too, but don't know what distro he was using.
If pip works for you then I would suggest continuing with that as your workaround, but would advise keeping your conda env python version to <=3.9 to ensure you don't accidentally trip up on issues that have led to us choosing this upper limit for now.

I tried to install Calliope through this procedure, and it worked, as well as it worked through Mamba. Unfortunately, I encountered the same error when launching the Jupyter Notebook. First, the Jupyter Notebook is not installed, then I installed it in the Calliope environment just created. Then, when launching it, i get the following error, as if smth got lost during the "easy way to install":

We can't diagnose what might be going wrong with Jupyter, but I'd try something like conda create -c conda-forge -c nodefaults -n calliope calliope jupyter notebook python=3.9
- that ought to get you an environment with a working Jupyter installation.

Magic! It worked, you were very kind. Thanks a lot!
Problem description
Running
conda create -c conda-forge -n calliope calliope
does not finish somehow.Running on Debian 12 with
conda 23.7.4
with base python3.10.4
Calliope version
Does not resolve somehow - creating an env and installing with pip works though
