Windows builds failing #62

Open msricher opened 5 months ago

msricher commented 5 months ago

Windows builds on Github Actions fail, I think because you can't install PySCF on Windows.

Proposed solution: Remove the Windows builds from Github Actions and don't support Windows. Most people use WSL for this kind of stuff now anyway.

Let me know what you all think and I'll update the .github/ folder.

I'm fine with this solution, but I'm forgetting why AtomDB has a dependence on PySCF? Is it a mandatory dependence?

We should document cleanly that one needs to install Windows Subsystem for Linux. Probably link to Microsoft's documentation, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/
