Cython is already installed but I keep getting error

[kcjavier21]

I'm trying to install the package by using the command make install_py

But then I'm getting error about cython, which is already installed.

How can I fix this? Thank you!

I guess the cython was not installed in the same place as your current python? Can you try which command for python and cython?

[kcjavier21]

Oh yeah, it's on a different folder. How can I install it on the same folder as python?

I just insert pip install cython for installing it. Can I just copy cython and paste it on the folder where python is located?

[yangao07]

I think you should be able to install pyabpoa after "pip install cython".

[kcjavier21]

I still can't :(

[yangao07]

OK, do you have python under your '.local/bin' folder? If so, you should use that python for installation.

[kcjavier21]

Copied python in ./local/bin which is the same as cython. Uninstalled and reinstalled cython. Same result :(

[kcjavier21]

Should I also move pip in /.local/bin?

[yangao07]

What's the output of python -c "import Cython" on your machine?

[kcjavier21]

That's weird. It says no module named 'Cython'

pip

[yangao07]

OK, this is the reason. You need to install cython with this specific python. Maybe try python -m pip install cython

[kcjavier21]

Okay. But should I uninstall the cython first and then reinstall using that command?

[yangao07]

It doesn't matter.

[kcjavier21]

Oh, it worked! But I got new error.

[yangao07]

How about python -m pip install .?

[kcjavier21]

It gives the same error when I run 'pip install pyabpoa'

[yangao07]

I guess you downloaded the zipped repo from abPOA github homepage directly. Try using the release link: wget https://github.com/yangao07/abPOA/releases/download/v1.4.1/abPOA-v1.4.1.tar.gz tar -zxvf abPOA-v1.4.1.tar.gz && cd abPOA-v1.4.1

OMG! It worked! Thank you so muuuch!
