Unable to install client on the windows enviroment #625

Open arm2arm opened 2 years ago

Dear developers, I have a trouble to install reana-client on the Windows 11 within the conda/pip environment. The package jq is failing to build. I have manually installed jq via conda-forge channel v 1.6 but reana-client is still trying to install jq 1.2.2 version. here is my environment:

conda 4.13

python 3.10 Steps:

conda create -n reana python=3.10
conda activate reana
conda install -c conda-forge jq
>conda list | grep jq
jq                        1.6                  haa95532_1
pip install reana-client

Error:

reana-client was not tested on Windows, so I will try to help to the best abilities. I assume pip install reana-client fails with jq. It looks like jq doesn't support Windows - https://pypi.org/project/jq/. The fastest workaround might be to try using WSL and get the Linux subsystem on Windows.

We recognize that differences between operating systems can cause a lot of trouble. We are developing a new reana-client that will be just a simple binary; there will be no need to fight with Python/pip/conda - https://github.com/reanahub/reana-client-go.

Unfortunately, the new reana-client is still not ready for users, but we hope to release it soon. You can follow the progress here
