Legacy implementation of Dask no longer supported - fixed via installations via github

[Lisamrshhsr]

Hello everyone,

I had issues setting up my spatialdata environment. My environment is super naked as I had several other issues with other packages i.e. numpy. I figured out a way myself to install everything from the github repositories and not using the pip install env-name. For everyone running into the same issues lately, here's how I fixed this:

conda create -n spatial-data python==3.12              
conda activate spatial-data   
pip install git+https://github.com/spatial-image/multiscale-spatial-image
pip install git+https://github.com/scverse/spatialdata    
pip install spatialdata-io==0.1.7    
conda install -c conda-forge ipykernel

Then continue with your required packages. Hope this helps :)

Best, Lisa

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. We are going to make a release soon and also unlocking the installation via conda, these two should improve the installation experience.
