Installation fails due to obsolete numpy code

[janpisl]

I am unable to install bfast (with pip or from GitHub) due to the following issue:

jan@eceo-ws12:~/Documents/bfast$ pip install bfast

      `np.bool` was a deprecated alias for the builtin `bool`. To avoid this error in existing code, use `bool` by itself. Doing this will not modify any behavior and is safe. If you specifically wanted the numpy scalar type, use `np.bool_` here.
      The aliases was originally deprecated in NumPy 1.20; for more details and guidance see the original release note at:
          https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.20.0-notes.html#deprecations. Did you mean: 'bool_'?

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Hi I have the same problem! If you found the solution please share it!

I managed to install it. I created a clean environment with Python 3.8, installed libraries from the provided requirements.txt with conda, those that were not available I installed with pip, there were some version mismatches and I had to install a 2020 version of pyopencl because I couldn't install the specified version (2018.2.5). But in the end it works and I am trying it out now.

Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Hi Jan.

I'm thankful for your guidance. I installed Python 3.8 along with the requirements, but I got an error. I also got an error for Python 3.7, but I was able to run it in Python 3.6. Thank you.

I wish the best for you Mohammad.
