JOSS: Installation: Does installation proceed as outlined in the documentation?

[sangpham171]

Hello, I try to run the pyplot, but no success. Is it an obligation to use Linux? because i am using window and python version 3.9.10 I have already installed all the requirements except the mantide-workbench, I can't find with pip.

Here is the problem:

C:\PyRS-next>py scripts/pyrsplot C:\PyRS-next\scripts\pyrsplot:3: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses import imp Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\PyRS-next\scripts\pyrsplot", line 6, in import pyrs.interface.pyrs_main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyrs.interface'

If not, do you have an .exe file to test the program. Because for a normal user it might be difficult to install all the dependencies. https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/4104

We have never tested pyRS from windows. My best guess is that there is a path issue related to running pyrsplot. Please see the JOSS_ISSUE branch for an updated readme. At this moment we do not have compiled version of the software. We are waiting for mantid dependency issues to be resolved before deploying pyRS as part of an anaconda release.

Mentioning JOSS review issue to link these together for easier tracking

I have no experience with Linux. If Linux is an obligation, I don't think I'm a good candidate for the reviewer. All my applications are developed in windows environment. I don't know if you can change the reviewer, but if so, you can choose another one who knows the Linux environment.

@sangpham171 Please try the following: From the PyRS directory, start the user interface set PYTHONPATH=%PATH%;%PYTHONPATH%; python scripts/pyrsplot

The instructions now work for me on the JOSS_ISSUE branch.
