Unable to install following instructions.

[vini2003]

Having significant issues when trying to install this locally. They are also present in the original repository, but this fork is improved, I'd rather use it and report things here instead.

Environment
Windows 11
10.0.22000 Build 22000

Conda
Miniconda3
4.12.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Miniconda3.
2. Enter Anaconda Prompt (Miniconda3) through Start Menu.
3. git clone the repository.
4. cd into the repository root.
5. conda env create -f environment.yaml -v
6. Stuck in Installing pip dependencies: ...working....

Solutions Attempted

1. Using Anaconda3 instead - failed.
2. Re-installing Miniconda3 - failed.
3. Updating pip - failed.
4. Installing pip packages from environment.yaml manually - shouldn't be necessary and is likely to cause conflicts.
5. Completely removing Python from my machine - every environment, every version, every package, everything - failed.

Currently at a loss for what to do. It stays in this line, forever. I've left it there for 8h to no avail.

I've encountered this with the upstream.

Installng pip git-based dependencies silently fails when installing via conda if there's already files in the target folder.

you can ctrl-c, delete the ./src folder and try again

There seem to be multiple reports of this type of failure on Discord. I've not seen a consistent explanation or solution. Have you tried deleting the conda folder completely? You'll need to remove at least two folders:

• C:\ProgramData\Miniconda3
• C:\Users\USERNAME.condarc

@Oceanswave's suggestion worked!
Thanks a lot; deleting ./src did it.

And yeah, I'd removed those folders as well, seems to be problem with conda itself.

[random29]

deleting ./src did it.

Can you please explain - you deleted srt folder and run conda env update? Or manually installed deps?
UPD: Yes, I deleted src dir and run conda env update --file environment.yaml --prune

[lstein]

I take it that problem is solved (or at least a workaround found). I'm going to close this issue for now. Please feel free to reopen if it happens again.

[Oceanswave]

@lstein maybe we can make this process easier by completely deleting the src folder and committing the change - since the contents get installed when doing a pip install -r requirements.txt or conda env create -f environment.yaml

[lstein]

For sure! I didn't even realize that src was created when you check out the distribution. Lincoln
