Install package on PyCharm on Windows

Question

I'm trying to install some packages, and for some reason I can't for the life of me make it happen. My set up is that I'm using PyCharm on Windows with Conda. I'm having these problems with all the non-standard packages I'd like to install (things like numpy install just fine), but for reference I'll use this package. I'll detail all the methods I've tried:

1. Going File>Settings>Python Interpreter> Install and then searching for pyphy - it's not found.
2. Adding the URL of in the link above as a repository in PyCharm, and searching again for packages; again not found.
3. Downloading the .tar.gz from the above GitHub, and adding the folder containing that as a repository in PyCharm, then searching for pyphi -- again, nothing found.
4. From the terminal in PyCharm, pip install pyphi , which gives ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyphy (from versions: none)
5. From the terminal in pycharm, conda install -c wmayner pyphi , which gives a very long error report EDIT: the long error message is 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . EDIT 2: The error message is now included at the end of this post, as text.
6. With the .tar.gz file in the working directory, trying conda install -c local pyphi-1.2.0.tar.gz , which gives

Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - pyphi-1.2.0.tar.gz

7. Putting the .tar.gz file in the directory that the conda virtual environment is installed in, then directing the terminal there, and trying python pip install pyphi-1.2.0.tar.gz .

What am I doing wrong?

An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.

Answer 1

You should do sth like installation package from git , but for conda. (replace pip with conda, and provide valid URL). This is not a pypi package, it is not known to pip by default.

Answer 2

In response to @buran's comments above, I updated conda using

conda update --name base conda

Then used the recommended install for Windows, with

conda install -c wmayner pyphi

which now gives the error:

Found conflicts! Looking for incompatible packages.
This can take several minutes.  Press CTRL-C to abort.
failed

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found
to be incompatible with the existing python installation in your environment:

Specifications:

  - pyphi -> python[version='>=3.5,<3.6.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.7,<3.8.0a0']

Your python: python=3.8

If python is on the left-most side of the chain, that's the version you've asked for.
When python appears to the right, that indicates that the thing on the left is somehow
not available for the python version you are constrained to. Note that conda will not
change your python version to a different minor version unless you explicitly specify
that.

So at least it's clear why it won't install, and I can create another environment with another version of Python to house it.

Kudos to @buran!
