Add pyyaml to installation instructions

[Patrick Walters]

It doesn't look like the installation instructions include pyyaml

pip install pyyaml

Hey, thanks for the feedback :)

Auto3D doesn't use or import pyyaml in its modules. We tried to keep the dependencies as few as possible. Could you let me know why you think pyyaml should be installed?

Hi, I think it's because the auto3D.py program imports yaml and it would not run without pyyaml. I ran into the same issue when trying to run auto3D

[Patrick Walters]

Yes, exactly

I see, I will include pyyaml as an installation dependency in the future update.

pyyaml is part of my Python environment since I used Anaconda to manage Python packages. I believe it automatically installs dependencies like pyyaml. Out of curiosity, could you let me know how you set up the Python environment?

[Patrick Walters]

I'm running conda and pyyaml is not installed by default. Try this: conda create --name test python=3.7 conda activate test python -c 'import yaml' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yaml' pip install pyyaml python -c 'import yaml'

Got it, thanks!

[Patrick Walters]

I think you can just add pyyaml to the dependencies in your installation.yml
