Can't install pyspi - missing pyEDM==1.9.3

[Hananel-Hazan]

Thank you of the great package.

Trying to install pyspi under Ubuntu using 'pip'. After cloning the repository and running pip install . from the pyspi derectory, the setup stop with the following error:

INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of pyspi to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyEDM==1.9.3 (from pyspi) (from versions: 1.0.1, 1.0.3, 1.0.3.2, 1.10.1.1, 1.10.2.0, 1.10.3.0, 1.11.0.0, 1.12.0.0, 1.12.1.0, 1.12.2.0, 1.13.0.0, 1.13.1.0, 1.14.0.0, 1.14.0.1, 1.14.0.2, 1.14.2.0, 1.14.3.0, 1.15.0.0, 1.15.0.3, 1.15.0.4, 1.15.1.0)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyEDM==1.9.3

According to pypi.org the newest pyEDM version is 1.15.1.0 released: Oct 28, 2023

Where I can find pyEDM==1.9.3?

Thanks

Hi Hananel-Hazan, sorry for the delayed reply and for the installation bug. Some operating systems/pip versions seem unable to locate pyEDM==1.9.3 -- MacOS seems to find it ok, but I remember the same issue on my Ubuntu VM. In that case, the workaround is to download and install the wheel locally as follows:

1. Download the wheel file (.whl) from the pyEDM repository for version 1.9.3 at the following link (one of the two Linux versions depending on whether you're running i686 or x86_64 architecture): https://pypi.org/project/pyEDM/1.9.3.0/#files
2. Install the wheel package if you don't already have it with pip install wheel.
3. Navigate in your terminal to where you've downloaded the wheel file.
4. Install the wheel file directly with the command pip install [file.whl]. For example, that might look like pip install pyEDM-1.9.3.0-cp39-cp39-manylinux2010_x86_64.whl.

That should get pyEDM==1.9.3 installed okay on your machine to satisfy pyspi requirements, but ping us back if you run into any further issues!

Thank you for your response, now that I see your answer, I think that the reason pip didn't find pyEDM version 1.9.3 is because I am using python 3.11 and not an older version of python. That mean that I need to find an alternative to this issue since my other scripts that use pyspi require python >=3.10

Quick question, can pyspi can use newer version of pyEDM, or that will brake pyspi
