Fail to install on Windows

❓ Questions and Help

i was installing from source using: >pip install -e .
ERROR: Could not build wheels for scikit-sparse, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

then i went to suitesparse: https://github.com/jlblancoc/suitesparse-metis-for-windows
and installed it with cmake from source.

here i dont know how to continue installing Theseus. because [pip install -e .] still doesn't work.

can anyone give some help?

best wishes!

i m still trying to install scikit-sparse on windows.
install c++ suitesparse using cmake, referring to
https://github.com/xmlyqing00/Cholmod-Scikit-Sparse-Windows
i used the latest version of scikit-sparse, here :
https://github.com/scikit-sparse/scikit-sparse
modify the setup.py, specially the include dir and lib dir.
ensure the c++ suitesparse include and complied lib dir are correctly modified.
if u come across some problems like:
'.h' file can't be found, or '.lib' file can't be linked
try to include the special directory of the '.h' or the '.lib'

now scikit-sparse is successfully installed in the conda environment on windows.
i m trying to reinstall Theseus. new error comes, so sad.

Hi @BigPotato-H. I don't have a lot of experience using Theseus of Windows, but what I recall is that you could install suitesparse from conda instead of pip, without having to compile from source. Did you try this?
