Issue with launching stytra after installation

[GeorgSZ]

Hi, I'm encountering an issue after installing stytra. I'm using Anaconda and used the "conda env create -f environment.yml" to install stytra. This step worked fine. However, when I try to use "conda activate stytra_env" it just says "Note: You may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages". I've restarted the kernel and the computer multiple times, but I'm still encountering this error. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get stytra started?

I also tried running the test for the installation "python -m stytra.examples.looming_exp", but that only gives me a syntax error.

hi @GeorgSZ, thanks for trying out our package! The problem is that you are invoking those commands from a Jupyer notebook- can you try to run them from the Anaconda terminal?

Hi @vigji , thank you for the help. Using the Anaconda terminal I was able to launch the stytra environment. I tried running the looming_exp example, but there was an error with a module called "flammkuchen" (see screenshot). Looking at older tickets it seems like it's another module that needs to be installed. Am I on the right track?

Yes you are! I guess we have a bug in the requirements. After pip install flammkuchen does it work?

Hi @vigji , I was able to launch stytra. pip install flammkuchen resolved that issue, but it kept asking me to download further packages. I went through the manual installation process again and this resolved most of the issues. There was 1 further package that needed to be installed, but now it is running great. Thank you for the help, I'm looking forward to using this program.

Glad to hear that! Let me know about any further problem you might have :)
