Error installing GWmodel from source

[nikosGeography]

I am trying to install the package from source following this website. After running install_github(lbb220/GWmodel/GWmodel) I am receiving this error: Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub: Line starting '<<<<<<< HEAD ...' is malformed!

The reason I want to to install the package from source and not use the install.packages("GWmodel") is that I want to use parallel.method = "cuda". In the documentation it says:

_Requirements of using CUDA for high-performence computation in GWR functions:

To run GWR-CUDA (i.e. parallel.method is pecified as “cuda”) with gwr.basic , bw.gwr and gwr.model.selection, the following conditions are required:

1. There is at least one NVIDIA GPU supporting CUDA equipped on user's computer.

2. CUDA (>10.2) are installed with the environment variable 'CUDA_HOME' set properly.

3. The package should re-built from source. - For Linux user, 'GWmodelCUDA' will be automatically built if CUDA toolkit could be detected by the complier. - For Windows user, 'GWmodelCUDA.dll' and 'GWmodelCUDA.lib' will be automatically downloaded; however, we would recommend users to build the 'GWmodelCUDA' library manually to avoid some potentially unknown issues, and an 'CMakeLists.txt' file is provided for this procedure.

If any condition above is not satisfied, the GWR-CUDA will not work even though the “parallel.method” is specified as “cuda”._

If I install it using install_github() I am getting the error I mentioned. I have installed the CUDA (>10.2) and I have set the environment variable 'CUDA_HOME' properly.

How can I install the package from source?

I recently had a problem installing the GWmodel package like you.

I need to run GWR with 60,000+ point data, so CUDA is essential.

Have you solved this problem?

I tried running install_github(lbb220/GWmodel) but still get an Error.

@Seorim-Cho unfortunately I haven't figured it out and I stopped trying since no one was helping me.

@nikosGeography Thanks for the answer! But that's kind of sad news to me...
I sent an email about the error to Professor Lu (Author of GWmodel package).
If I get a reply, I'll share it with you.

Sorry for this late reply. Can you tell me what the error is? Technically, you have to set up the environment via the CMake file. ***@***.*** From: Seorim Date: 2023-05-04 09:35 To: lbb220/GWmodel CC: Subscribed Subject: Re: [lbb220/GWmodel] Error installing GWmodel from source (Issue #21) @nikosGeography Thanks for the answer!
