Error while installing AutoPhOT using conda

[navii98]

Hi Sean, I tried to install AutoPHoT using conda on two of my linux machines (one running on fedora and other on ubuntu).
And I'm getting a similar error in on both during the installation.

In the fedora machine -

(autophot) [navii@fedora ~]$ conda install -c astro-sean AutoPhOT
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json, will retry with next repodata source.

And in the ubuntu machine -

❯ conda install -c astro-sean AutoPhOT

I was hoping if you could help me resolve this.

Looking into this!- Will report back shortly!!

Hi again,

I managed to reproduce the error for a ubuntu system running on a virtual machine.

This error seems to be due to packages clashing with conda-forge and astropy channls.

Can you make sure these are accessible in the channel lists? So in your autophot_env can you run:

conda config --show channels

If you don't see conda-forge and/or astropy can you run:

conda config --append channels conda-forge
conda config --append channels astropy

and then try the install again:

conda install -c astro-sean autophot

By performing the above I was successfully able to import autophot in a python script. Let me know how it goes!!

Cheers! Adding the conda-forge and astropy channels solved the issue. I was able to successfully install AutoPhOT after that. Thanks, for the quick response. I guess you can close this issue now.

This is a very interesting project and something I believe will be very useful for the community. What is your preferred method of communication for questions and discussions related to this project.

Brilliant!

Depends on the topic - for bugs, bad user experience, bad science (if any) and/or installation/execution issues - best to open an issue.

Also open an issue if you need some help (i.e. a tutorial notebook) on how to perform a certain task with the code, how to deal with an annoying scenario etc.

For anything more "long term" i.e. adding new features, packages, or functionality - probably best to shoot me an email!
