Installation without hdf5
JohannesBuchner opened this issue · comments
The latest corner depends on pandas and arviz, xarray and netCDF4. Is there a more lightweight pip install option that does not include arviz/hdf5?
I am asking because my CI stopped working with this netcdf4 problem https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28931204/hdf5-headers-missing-in-installation-of-netcdf4-module-for-python .
@JohannesBuchner: good question! I think these are required dependencies for arviz and I'd love to keep arviz as a required dependency for corner in the long term, but perhaps it was a bit agressive to make it immediately required. It would probably be possible to make it optional until version 3.0. For now, your best bet is probably pinning the version <2.2 and I'll revisit this when I have a minute?
Also: might be worth opening or commenting on an issue on the arviz repo since they have many more users and developers!
v2.2.1 will be on PyPI shortly and it makes ArviZ an optional dependency. Let me know if you continue to have issues.
Thank you, Dan.
