Fireworks (1.9.5 later) can not be installed on Windows 10

[goodwilling]

Hi. Fireworks works great in Linux. However, using the same command in miniconda3 environment of Windows 10 Pro (locale: shift-JIS):

pip install fireworks

the error comes out as:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Users\test\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-bqrhom7v\fireworks\setup.py", line 22, in long_description=open(os.path.join(module_dir, 'README.md')).read(), UnicodeDecodeError: 'cp932' codec can't decode byte 0x93 in position 817: illegal multibyte sequence

On the other hand, no error occurs if a version <= 1.9.4 is specified:

pip install fireworks==1.9.4

Thank you very much.

Hey, I am able to install Fireworks successfully on Windows 10.

Option 1- Install Fireworks with conda

conda install -c matsci fireworks

Option 2- Install Fireworks in development mode:

git clone https://github.com/materialsproject/fireworks.git

followed by

python setup.py install

This should resolve installation error.

I can confirm this is no longer an issue.
