installation of 'pip' mayavi and pyqt5 using conda environment files fails on windows if run without admin privileges #16

Closed jmp75 closed 5 years ago

jmp75 commented 5 years ago

@DennisHgj had bumped into this issue

Short: pip install mayavi and pip install pyqt5 lead to an "access denied" error even if this is done under the user's folder. TODO capture the error message.

Mayavi is now (as opposed to a year ago) available for py3 on conda. pyqt5 is not, but there is a pyqt conda package that may be the same thing as pyqt5 on pip. This is worth checking; the less we install from pip, in general, the better.

Maybe transition towards PyVista for 3D visualization? 😁

conda install pyqt should do the trick for PyQt5 - at least in my experience...

PyVista and PyQt5 can both be successfully installed with conda install pyvista pyqt (assuming you have the conda-forge channel)

@banesullivan thank you, indeed using conda-forge in preference to pip does prevent these issues. And regarding pyvista @DennisHgj is doing an internship to start transitioning to pyvista. We should have a demo notebook available in a few weeks that may be suitable for inclusion in a gallery showcasing pyvista and/or voila
