pip install openqaoa throws some qiskit error

kidiki commented 7 months ago

When running in Colab, installing openqaoa with 'pip install openqaoa' and then simply running 'from openqaoa.problems import NumberPartition' throws and error 'ImportError: Missing optional 'qiskit' dependencies. To install run: pip install azure-quantum[qiskit]'

However, after installing the error persists.

Screenshots

Additional context

Current fix is installing openqaoa-core only.

What's the status of this? I was just about to report this same issue.

Thanks for reporting that the issue still persists for you. This is due to a version limitation on azure-quantum[qiskit] (more specifically). When installing the openqaoa meta-package, the qiskit installation is apparently resolved by installing openqaoa-qiskit first and then openqaoa-azure, resulting in incompatibilities. This does not happen when installing locally. This issue should be fixed on Azure Quantum's side.

In the meantime, here are some solutions you may want to try:

installing the openqaoa meta-package can still be done by cloning the repository and using the makefile.
installing through pip by choosing the plug-ins you may want to use (either -qiskit or -azure).
modifying the qiskit to 0.43.3 on your current installation.
