installation in windows under anaconda

[dacoex]

Is there a possibility to install this package in anaconda on a windows machine?

The documentation does not mention conda and windows.

The problem you seem to have is the following: when you want to use Git in Sumatra, you will need to have Git installed, but you also will need to have a Python library called GitPython installed. To me it seems you have installed Git (using conda), but not GitPython. You can install GitPython using conda from the conda-forge channel:

 conda install -c conda-forge gitpython

This should solve the error you are seeing. It still doesn't mean that Sumatra will work for you. To my knowledge, Windows is not officially supported.

For some reason, sumatra does not recognise gitpython:

Any idea why this package is not cross-platform?

Are you sure C:\Users\%USER%\Documents\sumatra_trials is a git repository?
