Installation Problems (environment_dev.yml not found error...)

[Hadi-Borjkhani]

Hi,

Please make clear in the installation instruction that we need to clone the cedalion first.
because I faced environment_dev.yml not found error:

conda env create -n cedalion -f environment_dev.yml

After I cloned the Cedalion. I did these steps:

cd C:\Users\borjkha\Documents\Hadi-PhD\GitLab\Cedalion\cedalion-main    # the cloned path in my PC
conda env create -n cedalion -f environment_dev.yml

But still I have faced error in excuting this command:

• pip install -e .

(cedalion) C:\Users\borjkha\Documents\Hadi-PhD\GitLab\Cedalion\cedalion-main>pip install -e .

      Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

      For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj

Sorry for the issue report I could fix the problem.

For those who may face similar issue.

• install git
• open gitbash in the folder that you want to save the cedalion:

git clone https://github.com/ibs-lab/cedalion.git

Now open your conda prompt. In the conda prompt

cd C:\Users....\ Cedalion # the address that you have cedalion cloned

follow the instruction in the installation documation of cedalion

Good news is that you can install spyder in the cedalion enviroment 👍

conda activate cedalion
pip install spyder

@Hadi-Borjkhani I'm getting such an error when I wanted to use cedalion over spyder.

"Could not find the Qt platform plugin "cocoa" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

Anyone experienced such an error before?
