Win64 Dependencies Issue

[marpobuda]

I am finding that missingno and rise are both incompatible with Windows 64 when I use the environment.yml to create my conda environment. Any recommendations?

Hi @marpobuda! They will eventually get up on conda forge. For now, please go ahead and pip install just those two packages into the data testing environment, or use the virtual environment setup instructions.

Unfortunately pip fails to work as well. I tried troubleshooting this issue for awhile last night but to no avail. I'll just try to pair up tomorrow and follow a long as best as I can with the environment I have.

Okay, no problem. Missingno is only a small portion of the tutorial, so no worries about that. If you'd like to, I'm also happy to help with environment issues over lunch.

I was able to make rise work but no missigno here are my steps for rise after cloning the repo:
'''
conda config add--channels damianavila82
conda env create -f environment.yml

'''
rise will be install but failed full installation as no 64 version of missingo

Description:

You need to use a channel that has a win-64 version. Use:

conda install -c damianavila82

The option -c or --channel allows to specify a channel. You can also add a channel permanently via:
'''
conda config --add channels damianavila82
conda env create -f environment.yml

'''
This creates a file .condarc in your home directory (on Windows C:\Users<username>):

channels:

• damianavila82
• defaults

You can modify this file manually. The order of the channels determines their precedence.

Note: Files with a leading . might not be displayed by certain file browsers. You might need to change settings to display these files accordingly.

You can find out if a package exits for your platform by searching on Anaconda.
url: https://anaconda.org/search?q=rise
Just type rise in the search field and you should see the available packages. Check the column "Platforms" it will shows if a "win-64" version exists.

Hope that help a bit

@raggnar missingno is going to be more important than rise for the tutorial, so please pip install it rather than conda install it.

RISE is just a presentation plugin that I use, not essential for the tutorial, but included just in case tutorial participants want to view it as slides. I think I will remove them from the environment file.

I will update the environment file to reflect these two issues.

The update works! :) Thank you!
