Newer versions of pip are problematic when installing q2studio #497

Closed thermokarst closed 3 years ago

thermokarst commented 3 years ago

Bug Description The QIIME 2 Studio interface docs (Ref 1 below) show users how to install dependencies using pip. It looks like this is now failing on many user's machines (Refs 2 and 3), presumably because of newer versions of pip. It would be great to replace this with @andrewsanchez's instructions (Ref 3) that leverage conda:

conda install gevent nodejs

The linked PR should address this. Can you think of any other tweaks that should be made to address these issues? Should we also remove gevent from q2studio's setup.py?

Nothing comes to my mind - thanks for checking.

Should we also remove gevent from q2studio's setup.py?

Good question - I don't think so - conda installs gevent in a manner that allows pip to "see" it, so when running pip install . after the new conda install ... command you introduced in #498, pip skips installing gevent because it is all there.
