Installation problems

[EricShmeric]

Hi, this is probably a silly mistake on my part. When running the bootstrap.py file from terminal (using conda flag), I get the following error in the env_config.py file:

RuntimeError: Python version incompatible with this build:
Build directory: "d:\deep_learning\xrays\cctbx\build"
Python version used initially: 2.7
Python version in use now: 3.7
Process failed with return code 1

I tried reinstalling the environment in anaconda with python 2.7, but that just throws compatibility conflicts with the newer dependencies. Any guidance would be much appreciated, thanks!

Are you trying to update to using a newer version of Python? There is an existing build directory (d:\deep_learning\xrays\cctbx\build) that is built with Python 2.7 and bootstrap.py is trying to build with Python 3.7. I would recommend that you rename your build directory to something else and let bootstrap.py do a new build with Python 3.7 (or later).

It also looks like you are on Windows. For Python 3 builds, Visual Studio C++ 2017 and later is required.
