Trying to install Calculix

[Karl Hoitsma]

Using Conda, I tried several installation channels with no success -- I'm using Python 3.7.

conda install -c conda-forge calculix
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

Hi @khoitsma, why are you trying to install calculix from conda? I don't think there is a conda package for calculix.
I think that all you need to do is download the latest version of the cae (binaries or source code) and have python3, unpack it and allow to be executed (give permissions).

Sorry, @khoitsma , this repository isn't related to Conda. CAE is being developed without it.
If you need CalculiX - please, you can download it from the official website.
Also CalculiX is embed in CAE - you can download the latest release and run with your Python 3.7. Here is info how to run CAE.
