Installation error: building wheel fails

[maikemp]

Hi, thank you so much for developing this package. Unfortunately, I am running into a bit of a problem with the installation via 'pip install skgrf'. I have tried it in multiple environments with various python versions (all >= 3.7.10) on two different systems, and I always received more or less the same error message. I would really appreciate any advice on how to overcome this problem.

The full error message (with Python version 3.8.13) is:

Your system is trying to build the wheel for skgrf. Am I correct in assuming you are on an M1 mac? We ship wheels for linux and mac but not yet for M1 macs, so it's attempting to build from source.

In your error it says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools' Have you tried pip install setuptools? This should get you past the error and it will attempt to build the wheel.

Hi, thanks a lot for your quick response. No, I am on Windows (10). I have actually tried that but setuptools is already installed. I also tried updating this and other packages but it is still the same error.

[crflynn]

I'm not sure why it wouldn't pick up setuptools after installing it. I will say that even if you get past that error, I'm not sure whether or not it will build for windows, since we don't explicitly test or build on windows platforms here.

I've tried in the past but haven't gotten it to work. Unfortunately the logs have expired and I don't recall what the exact issue was: https://github.com/crflynn/skgrf/pull/89

[maikemp]

Alright, thanks for the info.

[aveshd]

Please test on Windows 10 as well. I have the same issue.

I am also having this error. Setup.py can't find setup tools. Disappointing to discover this package is completely unusable for windows.

[RemiKhellaf]

Please fix it, I use this package on Mac and it works great and now I've moved to Windows and cannot run my code bevause of this error
