Hello,

On of my colleagues tried to install tellurium on her windows machine using both the pip install, the conda installer, and the windows notebook installer, and kept getting the same error message:

Please advise,

Sincerely,

Jeremy Zucker and Pallavi Kolambkar.

The pip installer might need an updated version of pip itself:

pip install --upgrade pip

The conda installer has not been updated recently, so is not expected to work at this point.

The windows installer is supposed to come with its own version of python and everything else, so if it didn't work, that would be surprising. Unless it was installed, and then you used the version of Python that you already had on your system?

I recommend using the windows installer, I’ve never had it fail. You can still pip additional packages into this version by just typing pip install xx at the spyder console.

The advantage of the windows installer is that creates a separate distribution which doesn’t interfere with any existing installs you have.

Note the current version doesn’t have auto2000 installed. I hoping that will come in October.
