conda forge package? - Githubissues

rabernat commented 5 years ago

Thanks so much for providing this amazing tool the the python community!

Several users here at LDEO (e.g. @jkingslake, @jjspergel) are interested in trying richdem but are hitting problems with the pip install.

Most scientific python packages, especially those with compiled code, now provide a conda-forge package. The process for creating a conda-forge recipe is quite straightforward. If you could consider adding a conda package, I think you would get a lot more users.

@rabernat I ran into a similar issue with pip installation before, so I uploaded it to Anaconda Cloud. You can try install it using the following command. All credit goes to Dr. Richard Barnes for developing such a great Python package.

conda install -c giswqs richdem

rabernat commented 5 years ago

@giswqs - that sounds like a good temporary solution.

conda-forge is probably a better long term choice because it automatically builds the recipe for all platforms and automatically re-builds every new release. It doesn't have to be the owner of the repo who creates the conda-forge recipe. You could easily do it yourself if you already have experience with building and packaging richdem.

No, some credit also goes to you for making it more accessible to end users. 😄Open source projects need a community of contributors to thrive, and there are many different roles to play.

@rabernat I have created a conda-forge recipe for richdem. However, it failed to pass the AppVeyor test.To resolve the first error, I modified the .appveyor.yml, which leads to the second error. Any advice?

Hi,

I tried to this same thing:

$ conda install -c giswqs richdem

Collecting package metadata: done Solving environment: failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

richdem

Current channels:

Any suggestions for installing on MacOS?

giswqs commented 5 years ago

@mberry28 I just tested it. The installation conda install -c giswqs richdem works fine on my Linux machine. I am sorry I don't have access to MacOS. Have you tried pip install richdem?

ramalee420 commented 5 years ago

Hi @giswqs, I am getting the same error as @mberry28 when I try "installation conda install -c giswqs richdem" (ie, PackagesNotFoundError). When I try "pip install richdem" I get this:

Building wheels for collected packages: richdem Building wheel for richdem (setup.py) ... error

Do you know how else to install richdem? I am using Python 3.7 in Anaconda on a MacOS. Thanks in advance.

rabernat commented 5 years ago

The long term solution here is to get the conda-forge build working as @giswqs is trying to do.

@giswqs - you should direct your conda forge build questions to the conda-forge team. Can you link to your staged-recipes PR?

ramalee420 commented 5 years ago

Is there a way to build directly through the Terminal? I tried running the wheelhouse and setup.py files, but that didn't work. I think some directory names have changed. What is the best solution to build this on my local machine ASAP?

Thanks.

The conda-forge package is now available! It is now trivial to install in linux and mac-os

conda install -c conda-forge richdem

Recipe is here: https://github.com/conda-forge/richdem-feedstock

@rabernat I think it is broken again. I'm getting the same error as @mberry28 had on Apr 23. Any recommendations?

@rabernat

Please re-open the issue. I get the same error as @mberry28 and @jryoung3

(using Anaconda on a Win10 machine)

Hi, I'm facing the same issue with W10 machine.

> conda install -c conda-forge richdem
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

But as per this message, I think Windows was never supported:

The conda-forge package is now available! It is now trivial to install in linux and mac-os

And indeed, the recipe gives no instruction concerning windows (https://github.com/conda-forge/richdem-feedstock)

Maybe this should be brought to @ocefpaf 's attention ? I think he's the recipe owner.

(For future reference here is a recipe for several archs including win: https://github.com/conda-forge/libpng-feedstock)

ocefpaf commented 4 years ago

Folks, there is no richdem on Windows in conda-forge. Compiling stuff on Windows is an art and we have very few of those artists in our community.

If someone here has Windows expertise please send a PR to https://github.com/conda-forge/richdem-feedstock
