@emmaliulu Are you using a 32-bit machine?

from wntr.

I just checked. It is a 64-bit machine.

from wntr.

@emmaliulu What version of python?

from wntr.

@emmaliulu Also, how did you install python?

from wntr.

@michaelbynum I just checked my python is 32-bit. Could this be the problem? I use Anaconda to run python.

from wntr.

@emmaliulu Yes, I believe this is the problem. Conda-forge does not support 32-bit builds, so we don't have any pre-compiled binaries for 32-bit systems right now. My advice would be to download the 64-bit version of anaconda. I know that is annoying, and I apologize. Alternatively, if you have a c++ compiler, you could change the build flag in setup.py to True, and then run python setup.py install.

from wntr.

@michaelbynum Problem solved! Thank you for your help.

from wntr.

@emmaliulu Great! For future reference, what was your fix? Did you use a 64-bit version of anaconda?

from wntr.

I did a couple things. First, I installed 64-bit version of Anaconda, I also updated my Python to the same version. Second, I installed Visual Studio C++ build tool as required in the command window. After that, the installation went through without any problem.

from wntr.

@emmaliulu I was hoping that you would not have to compile anything once you updated to the 64-bit version of Anaconda/Python. Did you actually compile anything? Did you change the build flag in setup.py to True or did you leave it as False?

I apologize for the many questions. I just want to make sure the install process is easy in the future.

from wntr.

@michaelbynum No, I did not compile anything. I just installed the VS build tool, and then the installation went through.

from wntr.

@emmaliulu Oh, okay. Great! Thanks.
