installation help, programs not running

[Alberto G]

Hello, I'm trying to install devsim for a college project but there seems to be an error.

I installed the program from GitHub for windows 10 (v. 1.5.0). I already have python and had to download anaconda. In Anaconda I downloaded all the packages and did the set PYTHONPATH=/path/to/devsim/lib instruction with the folders directory from my computer but this is what I get when I run an example.

I know that most likely I'm doing something wrong, any suggestion?

Hi,

Windows presents these types of messages when some dll's are missing.

Please see the windows.txt file and let me know if installing these packages fixes the problem.

It is necessary to install these packages into your conda environment:

conda install mkl numpy

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019

https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads

x86 (32 bit): https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x86.exe

x64 (64 bit): https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x64.exe

Regards,

Juan

Hi,

It looks like you are trying to run the 64-bit version of devsim with a 32-bit version of python.  This will not work.

32-bit versions of devsim are no longer being provided on the releases page.  If you are unable to update your python to 64 bit, please let me know and I will see if I can provide a 32-bit build.

Regards,

Juan

Thanks for the help, installed the latest Python but with 64 bits as you said and it's still not working, here is the error message and also the conda window (I think it has something to do with the PYTHONPATH?) Will wait for Visual to finish installing to try there anyways

[Juan Sanchez]

Hi,

The PYTHONPATH is ok, as the error message shows it has found the dll.  Please let me know if the Visual Studio runtime installation fixes the problem.

Regards,

Juan

Hello Juan, I get the following message when running an example (diode_2d) in Visual Studio

    from devsim import *

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'devsim'

Press any key to continue . . .

[Juan Sanchez]

Hi,

Did you install this package?

You want this package instead of Visual Studio.

Regards,

Juan

Thanks, I'm trying that solution, the problem is that when I'm trying to download it there's a download fail, it says :

0x80070570 - The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" 

so I'm trying to fix that or finding out other alternatives like downloading the missing dll's 

[Juan Sanchez]

Hi,

I am sorry you are having so much trouble.  You may want to try this version:

https://github.com/devsim/devsim/releases/download/v1.5.0/devsim_msys_v1.5.0.zip

These "msys" builds use a different runtime component, so the Visual Studio runtime is not required.

Regards,

Juan
