Installing on Windows #2

Closed jqrzixin closed 5 years ago

jqrzixin commented 5 years ago

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your repositories.

I am trying to install iri2016 on my PC with a windows 10 platform.

After the Gfortran and Python 3.6.7 are installed, I always encounter the following problem when I try to intall iri2016 using "pip install iri2016" or "python setup.py build_ext --inplace --compiler=mingw32"

File "D:\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\fileinput.py", line 299, in readline line = self._readline() UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0x93 in position 3975: illegal multibyte sequence

Can you help me with this? Thanks, Gary

Hi Gary, thanks for raising this issue. I'll give this a try on Windows and see what I get.

scivision commented 5 years ago

Gary, this doesn't happen for me with fresh Windows 10, Python 3.6, Gfortran. It may have been a bug in the old v1.5.1. I have just uploaded v1.5.2.

pip install --upgrade iri2016

or you can work directly from this repo:

git clone https://github.com/scivision/iri2016

cd iri2016

pip install -e .

Thanks a lot, Michael!

Maybe this error is because of my Chinese Windows system. Anyway, Thank you for your excellent job.

The problem is solved by change the default encoding of operating system from 'gbk' to 'utf-8'. Thanks.

OK Cool Gary thanks for letting us know! This is something that may be less of an issue in the future as Python ≥ 3.7 explicitly defaults to UTF8.
