error: package directory 'qtools' does not exist #52

Closed cxrodgers closed 9 years ago

cxrodgers commented 9 years ago

Hello, I am trying to install klustaviewa on Linux Mint. I tried cloning the current version of the github repository, and also downloading the stable 0.3.0 source tarball. I always get: "error: package directory 'qtools' does not exist"

This occurs whether I run "pip install --user ." or "python setup.py build" in the source directory.

I think the "qtools" you have in mind is probably this one, but could you verify this to be true? I don't see it listed as a requirement. https://github.com/rossant/qtools

I've installed the current github version of it, but for some reason the setup.py in klustaviewa is having trouble finding it. But I know that it is there because python and ipython find it no problem. In [1]: import qtools In [2]: qtools.file Out[2]: '/home/chris/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/qtools/init.pyc'

It did not help to add /home/chris/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages to either my $PATH or my $PYTHONPATH. Typically pip has no trouble finding requirements there anyway, though.

Thanks for any tips!!

Yes, that's the one.

If you're downloading from source, you should either install all the packages separately, but better to keep up-to-date, you should symlink:

https://github.com/rossant/qtools: qtools/qtools/ (note the subdir) into klustaviewa/qtools
https://github.com/rossant/galry: galry/galry (note the subdir) into klustaviewa/galry
https://github.com/klusta-team/spikedetekt2: spikedetekt2/spikedetekt2 (note the subdir) into klustaviewa/spikedetekt2
https://github.com/klusta-team/kwiklib: kwiklib/kwiklib (note the subdir) into klustaviewa/kwiklib

Then you can python setup.py install or python setup.py develop depending whether you want to be able to update the version you're running by pulling the repository or not...

Thanks! This fixed it.

I think you are missing a subdir on spikedetekt2 in your response. I had to make it spikedetekt2/spikedetekt2 to get it to work.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Is there a reason you don't use submodules so that git clone --recursive will automatically pull all the required repositories and folders to the right spot?
