Python packages not installed automatically for all tutorials #526

Open MakisH opened 4 months ago

MakisH commented 4 months ago

We now install Nutils in a venv for every related tutorial. We could do the same for:

[ ] fmi runner
[ ] fenicsprecice
[ ] aste
[ ] micro-manager
[ ] SU2 adapter
[ ] visualization scripts requiring pandas, matplotlib, polars

This is particularly important in Ubuntu 24.04, which forces using virtual environments for libraries.

Note that the fmi-runner and the micro-manager can already be installed via pipx for the current user.

In general, using a venv directly is always an option though.

MakisH commented 4 months ago

If both are only stand-alone applications (I assume, but did not test), this is probably what we should document and maybe use in the VM.

But, independent of the compatibility issue, I think that formally specifying the dependencies is a goal we should aim for.
