[omeradir1]

Thank you for your bug report!

Please fill out the following template.

PLATFORM (Mac, PC, Linux, other): Mac M2

OPERATING SYSTEM (eg OSX 10.7, Windows 8.1): Ventura 13.0

SEVERITY (Critical? Major? Minor? Enhancement?): Does not install

DESCRIPTION:

- What were you trying to do?

Installing the python package of cytoflow

- What happened?

I tried to install the cytoflow python package both through anaconda-navigator and through the terminal.

Through the navigator - I got the error:
UnsatisfiableError:

without any details.

When I attempted to install through the terminal, I opened a channel and then put in:
conda create --name cf cytoflow notebook

I got the following error:

Solving environment:
Found conflicts! Looking for incomaptible packages.
UnsatisfiableError: the following specifications were found to be incompatible with each other:

Package notebook conflicts for:

cytoflow -> notebookThe following specifications were found to be incompatible with your system:

feature:|@/osx-64::__osx==10.16=0
notebook -> ipykernel -> __linux

Your installed version is: 10.16

Alternatively , when I tried this command: conda create --name cytoflow cytoflow
in the terminal after adding the cytoflow channel, I got :

Don't forget to attach the log file to this bug report!

same here, installing via anaconda / mamba fails with:
- nothing provides numexpr 2.8.1 needed by cytoflow-1.2-py38

[r0oland]

I try installing numexpr explicitly via anaconda and pip but that did not make a difference

Here is an alternative way to install cytoflow to your mac(M2):
Assume you already have conda/mamba properly installed to your computer. (substitute all the “mamba” in the following commands with ”conda” if you are not doing with mamba. But mamba is highly suggested!)
You might need to upgrade rosetta software first, which is a translation process that allows users to run apps that contain x86_64 instructions on Apple silicon.

softwareupdate --install-rosetta
mamba create -n cytoflow
mamba activate cytoflow 
conda config --env --set subdir osx-64 
conda config --add channels cytoflow anaconda 
mamba install cytoflow 

You are all set now!
