Installation issues

[syralie]

Hi, I've been trying to install and run visualea but I've been running into issues. I was on macOS Mojave but I've tried updating to the newest macOS Monterey version 12.3.1 and am still running into the same issues.

For example, I tried conda create -n openalea -c conda-forge -c openalea openalea.visualea. This went through without issues but when I typed visualea, I received the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in

I then tried to solve this with conda install pyqt. Then I did "visualea" again and got this error message:

I saw on another closed issue thread that it should be openalea.vpltk 2.0.2 instead. However when I tried conda install -c openalea openalea.visualea openalea.vpltk=2.0.2, I got the following error message:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found
to be incompatible with the existing python installation in your environment:

Specifications:

• openalea.vpltk=2.0.2 -> python[version='>=3.10,<3.11.0a0|>=3.5,<3.6.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.6|>=3.7|>=3.7,<3.8.0a0|>=3.8,<3.9.0a0|>=3.9,<3.10.0a0']

Your python: python=2.7

If python is on the left-most side of the chain, that's the version you've asked for.
When python appears to the right, that indicates that the thing on the left is somehow
not available for the python version you are constrained to. Note that conda will not
change your python version to a different minor version unless you explicitly specify
that.

The following specifications were found to be incompatible with each other:

Output in format: Requested package -> Available versions

Another type of error I've previously gotten when entering "visualea" into the terminal was "ImportError: No module named asyncio" since I'm using python2.7 for this installation. When I try using python3 when installing visualea I'd get error messages about conflicts etc. but I believe asyncio is a python3 module? I have since deleted the env which gave that error though.

I also tried this on a Linux server and I ran into same/similar error messages.

[pradal]

Yes. Sorry. VisuAlea is not yet ported to Python 3 and PyQt5

[syralie]

I see, thanks for the prompt reply!

Would it be possible to install and run it with python2.7? I'm not quite sure how to download pyqt4 right now though (installing pyqt=4 gives error messages).

Or is there any other way I could install and use it?

[pellem]

Yes. Sorry. VisuAlea is not yet ported to Python 3 and PyQt5

I think it's done now, maybe should we close this issue ?
