Issues with autolens installation
igixri opened this issue · comments
Hello!
I was trying to install autolens onto my laptop so that I could import it to use in my Jupyter notebook, but I kept running into issues when I was trying to pip install it through anaconda. This is the error I got:
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\Users\igixr\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-k6oej0xp\autofit\test_autofit/database/mass_sie__source_sersic/phase_mass[sie]_source[bulge]/settings__imaging[grid_sub_2]__lens[pos_off]/dynesty_static[nlive_50__bound_multi_vol_dec_0.5_vol_check_2.0__enlarge_1.0__sample_rwalk_walks_5_facc_0.2]'
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I went to the directory to try and find the folder, but it looks like the pip-install-k6oej0xp folder doesn't exist (and the number/letter combination changes every time I rerun the code). For reference, my system is Windows 64-bit and my version of Python should be Python 3.
Thank you!
Hi,
This is a really weird issue, could you copy and paste the command line instructions you go through to get to this point? Will help me try and replicate these issue.
I apologize, I realized belatedly that I had not activated the conda environment before trying to pip install autolens. However, when I did that, I received another error. The final message that the terminal sent was:
"Failed to build Cython matplotlib numpy scikit-image scipy pyquad
ERROR: Could not build wheels for scikit-image which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly"
The actual terminal error output is too long to paste here, but it starts with:
"ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:
command: 'C:\Users\igixr.conda\envs\autolens\python.exe' 'C:\Users\igixr\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-standalone-pip-qb17h4_env_pip_.zip\pip' install --ignore-installed --no-user --prefix 'C:\Users\igixr\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-env-j8v317mg\overlay' --no-warn-script-location --no-binary :none: --only-binary :none: -i https://pypi.org/simple -- wheel setuptools 'Cython>=0.29.18' 'numpy==1.14.5; python_version=='"'"'3.6'"'"' and platform_system!='"'"'AIX'"'"'' 'numpy==1.14.5; python_version=='"'"'3.7'"'"' and platform_system!='"'"'AIX'"'"'' 'numpy==1.17.3; python_version>='"'"'3.8'"'"' and platform_system!='"'"'AIX'"'"'' 'numpy==1.16.0; python_version=='"'"'3.6'"'"' and platform_system=='"'"'AIX'"'"'' 'numpy==1.16.0; python_version=='"'"'3.7'"'"' and platform_system=='"'"'AIX'"'"'' 'numpy==1.17.3; python_version>='"'"'3.8'"'"' and platform_system=='"'"'AIX'"'"'' 'pybind11>=2.4.3'

It would be great if you could help me with this error. Please let me know if you need more information from my end.
Good news that we have a new error, the previous one was pretty terrifying!
Could you copy and paste the instructions that you go through to get to that error, I should be able to help from there.

Hopefully, this looks more familiar to you!
The issues are specific to installing autolens in Windows, which is still relatively untested and generally more difficult.
I am working on some fixes to try and make it easier, but this will take a day or so. In case you are unaware, you can begin using PyAutoLens via binder, which runs in a web browser. The memory / run times are a bit slow, but it'll help you get familiar with the software:

I'm sorry for the late response to this comment. I think I will be able to use PyAutoLens through binder for the time being, as I am still getting the same errors when trying to pip install on Windows. Thank you for the help!
Apologies for the long time to fix this, but the new version (https://github.com/Jammy2211/PyAutoLens/releases/tag/2021.8.12.1) should install without issue if it is still of use to you.
Albeit, Windows likes to cause unexpected issues, so maybe another problem will crop up!
Thank you! This new version does install properly on Windows. I don't seem to be having any issues yet, but I will let you know if they do show up.
Again, thank you so much for your help!
