Unable to create conda env on MAC

[kosack]

It worked for me on a macbook. I see the fts3 package both in the diracgrid and conda-forge channels. But perhaps there is a restriction on the version of python? What version are you using? I installed with 3.8

% anaconda search fts3 

Using Anaconda API: https://api.anaconda.org
Packages:
     Name                      |  Version | Package Types   | Platforms       | Builds

Hi @Iburelli,

I guess my last instruction didn't work...thanks for opening the issue.

To be clearer: you get this error just when doing e.g. conda env create -f environment_development.yml, right?
Even before installing protopipe and the interface?

I could never reproduce this issue on my macos, and I also checked that it works on a Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS with conda 4.13.0...

If you wish we can have a zoom meeting in the next days to check this face-to-face.

@kosack : Python 3.8 is the only supported version in both environments due to upgrade breaking changes with CTADIRAC when using more than that (but this was sometime ago)

Hi!
@HealthyPear yes the probem shows up when trying conda env create -f environment_development.yml , before installing protopipe.
We followed your instructions (thanks again) but we did not succeed. Meanwhile I had to change my pc an trying to install the environment on ubuntu 22 I get the same error. Just to make sure it was not just me I also tried on farm always obtaining the same result. Both systems are updated to miniconda 4.13.0
@kosack I tried to look for the package (on my laptop) but I get the following output:
Loading channels: done
No match found for: fts3. Search: fts3

This week I'm busy with a PhD school so I have only the evenings free, after 18.30. Would it be ok for you if we meet next week?

Hi!
I managed to solve the problem in the following way:
I first downloaded diracos and source diracosrc:

• curl -LO https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRACOS2/releases/latest/download/DIRACOS-Linux-x86_64.sh
• bash DIRACOS-Linux-x86_64.sh
• source diracos/diracosrc

Inside protopipe-grid-interface/environment_development.yaml:

• diracgrid::fts3 line becomes fts3

At this point I create the environment

• conda env create -f protopipe-grid-interface/environment_development.yaml

I then go back to my standard conda env

• conda deactivate
• source .bashrc

At this point I tried to install protopipe (pip install -e ‘.[all]’ but I was obtaining some errors.
Than I modified the file protopipe/environment_developement.yml

• name: protopipe-dev → name: protopipe-CTADIRAC-dev
  - conda env update -f protopipe/environment_development.yml

I then activate my env and install protopipe and the interface (in both cases pip install -e ‘.[all]’ from the appropriate directory)
I have no idea why, but it works
