Solutions I have tried (with errors nested)

conda install python=3.6 –––– while this allowed me to install python 3.6.13, this gave another error

(WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=0, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.",)': /simple/simba-uw-tf-dev/ Could not fetch URL https://pypi.org/simple/simba-uw-tf-dev/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /simple/simba-uw-tf-dev/ (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.",)) - skipping ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement simba-uw-tf-dev (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for simba-uw-tf-dev)

conda install python=3.6.2 –––– I found this can bypass the SSL error from above and allow me to run pip install simba-uw-tf-dev along with the rest of the MacOS installation tutorial. But, attempting to run simba gives a massive error code

Will add as I attempt more fixes

Hello @bdy2530 ! Sorry for delay, I missed this one.

It seems something may have gone astray when the conda environment was created: pip and python should come with it.

Try: (i) conda create -n simba_env python=3.6 (ii) conda activate simba_env (iii) pip install simba-uw-tf-dev (iv) On my mac, I sometimes have to reinstall matplotlib through conda: pip uninstall matplotlib followed by conda install matplotlib (iv) and to launch, type simba

Let me know how it goes!

[sronilsson]

Another way would be to try the docker image, but the drawback there is that I have not setup any ci cd to auto update to the docker image with each pip/github update, so docker updates drags behind for now.

Hi! Sorry to reopen this issue but I am dealing with the same situation: This is my error message after I tried "conda create -n simba_env python=3.6"

Hi @Siriz23 no problem - how does it go when you try in a python3.9 environment?

[Siriz23]

Unfortunately it is worse because I had so many issues with different dependencies such as numpy, cython, matplotlib. All of them with different timing. I am going to try again, starting from the scratch: Error1 -->

I've uninstalled and installed Shapely.

Error2-->

And here I am completely stuck

[sronilsson]

Got it someone yesterday-ish raised this on their M1 on Gitter, never really was solved: https://matrix.to/#/!afKEsAvrtNfxHHEeIJ:gitter.im/$77Tddm33m4MkWcWHGa4zoU2LIQFC0_RO603oivCjMj4?via=gitter.im&via=matrix.org&via=matrix.freyachat.eu

It seems to be using a cache, if you install simba with the --no-cache-dir flag how does it look? Sorry I can't troubleshoot this as I don't have access to the M1..

[Siriz23]

Thank you for your feedback! I'll give it another shot tomorrow. By the way, I'm curious if it's possible to install it on a MacBook with an M1 chip🥲

Were you able to figure this problem out?

[sronilsson]

Hi @ligeralde! What error are you seeing, is it the python 3.6 error?

[ligeralde]

Hi @ligeralde! What error are you seeing, is it the python 3.6 error?

When i run simba, i get AttributeError: 'version_info' object has no attribute '__version__'

this may be a problem with my environment

[sronilsson]

Interesting, do you have a full traceback to see which lines are causing it?

Also which version of Simba do you see with pip show simba-uw-tf-dev ?

[sronilsson]

There is a suggested fix here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70061207

Try pip install pyparsing==2.4.7 and then try to launch Simba, how does it look?

Thanks, this is a step in the right direction! I still get this warning, not sure if it's a big deal

[sronilsson]

I'm not sure, have not seen it before? If it's just a warning I wouldn't worry for now. If you get any errors related to plotting and matplotlib let me know here and we can dig into it as we'd hopefully receive a more informative error msg
