Installation Issues

[jortiz12]

Dear PyClaw community,

I was trying to install PyClaw in my local machine but got an error during te instalation process. In particular, I was able to execute all commands as per the instructions,

git clone https://github.com/clawpack/clawpack.git cd clawpack git submodule init git submodule update pip install -e . cd pyclaw/examples/euler_2d python shock_bubble_interaction.py iplot=1

, but this line pip install -e . brought me the error as per attached file. Nothing is inside pyclaw/ PyClaw_error.docx

Any suggestion?

Thxs vm in advance Jose

Couple questions for you:

• Are you running directly from windows, through the windows sub-system for linux (WSL) or something similar?
• Have you tried using the conda install instead? Recently someone updated the conda recipe and it seems to work.

The error log seems to indicate a path problem but since we do not officially support windows outside the WSL or another container I am not sure why it would be having issues.

Hello First of all, many thanks for your attention. I was trying to install PyClaw with my Anaconda distro in my Windows-based machine.

Tried to run conda install -e ., but the "-e" option was not recognized.

(base) PS C:\Users\jorti\clawpack\pyclaw> conda install -e .
usage: conda-script.py [-h] [-V] command ...
conda-script.py: error: unrecognized arguments: -e

The command conda install clawpack is what you want. Even then it sounds like you are on windows and we do not support the platform directly without the WSL or a container such as docker.
