[yangyang-studio]

Hello, when i installed rebound with the offline installation package, the installation failed.

I'm using a window 10 system, and the python version is 3.9.7.

You see how I deal with this problem, look forward to your reply, thank you!

Hello, I installed the virtual environment according to your prompt, and then tested it, but it still can't be installed normally.

You have to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

For a similar issue:

ERROR: Could not build wheels for rebound, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Unfortunately as the owner pointed out, it seems as though this project isn't supported on Windows. I didn't have any luck using newer versions of Python (3.10) or 64 bit, as similar questions on stackoverflow recommend for the issue

I did have immediate success when installing in Ubuntu using Virtualbox with python 3.8 (in case you don't have access to WSL through your Windows license), so that is a working alternative.

I'll close this issue. To use REBOUND on Windows, you need to use WSL.
