installation error

[LeonaireHo]

I am trying to install ecole with conda, but it keep trying to build the environment and then fail.

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

someone know why this error and how to to solve. Thanks in advance

Hi @LeonaireHo ,

For the conda problem, could you try with:

conda install mamba -n base -c conda-forge
mamba install -c conda-forge ecole

For the second problem, that could point to a leaking include. But I won't know for sure without being able to reproduce on your system. Anyways, I've released a bug fix in #332.

[LeonaireHo]

@AntoinePrv ,thanks you. I have successfully installed with /dev/run.sh. Actually,I want to use Ecole to get the features of lp problem, and use them to predict solution using supervised learning. So I want to extract the features of the original problem, but it looks like scip changes the constraints of the problem during extraction, i try to turn off the presolving of scip, but it didn't work. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks a lot

[LeonaireHo]

I have solved this problem of increasing the number of variables by setting the separating and resolving parameters of scip.
