Not able to Install When Following the geckodriver fix

[gannonjs]

I am one of the people following the geckodriver problem to install the DRP. I've spent a few days trying to install now using various different attempts.

Firstly should I be creating the conda environment in python 3.7 or in python 3.12 to install the developer version? I have now tried both an neither worked but it would be a good first step.

1. If installing with python 3.7 I run into package inconsistency. When I get to the final step and run the setup.py the installation keeps failing:

I try running the install of pyregion 3 manually using pip and then re-run but it then just picks another package (cython/matplotlib) and crashes. As best I can tell it is because there are incompatible dependencies in the kcwidrp environment.

2. If instead I use python 3.12 it still fails on the final step of running the setup .cfg
   

(Obviously I have tried downloading and extracting the package to the KCWIDRP/build directory. It still did not install correctly and threw the same error despite the task being completed as requested)

I am running on Ubuntu:

Hi, sorry for the delayed response. Could you try following the geckodriver instructions with python 3.12 but instead of running python setup.py install run pip install .? This worked on my machines (Ubuntu and an intel Mac). If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll get some more info from you.

If it does work, I'll update the documentation accordingly.

OK, Tried that. It runs into a similar ish error where it couldn't build package dependencies:

After it threw the error the first time I tried pip installing matplotlib before re-running the pip install .

It threw the same error again (as is shown above)
