Dear collegues!
I work in PyCharm and I've downloaded pycalphad module on PyPI website and there are few problems. I tried to install it via Anaconda Prompt according to instructions on the website. Nothing has changed. Can you help me with an installation of this module?

Welcome to pycalphad!

Installing from PyPI via `pip install` is not currently supported because pycalphad depends on some C/C++ libraries that are difficult to install yourself, but can be easily managed using Anaconda.

We’re you able to verify that pycalphad successfully installed by running `python` from the Anaconda Prompt? You can check that the version of pycalphad is the latest release by running the following from the Python prompt:

```

import pycalphad
print(pycalphad.__version__)

```

The current released version is `0.8.4`.

If that works and you want to use it in PyCharm, then you need to make sure that PyCharm is using the Python that came with Anaconda. For that, this article may be helpful: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-python-interpreter.html#add-existing-interpreter

Cheers,

Dear collegues!!!

reviewing the email from above, I realized that Im having the same issue when I try to install Pycalphad.

Attached you will find a print of the error that keeps appering when I try to install it.

I used the commands: conda install pycalphad, and conda install pycalphad-0.8.4

This error mentions something about missing channels.

Can someone help me to fix it and be able to install it correctly ?

Thanks!

Hi Ivan,

It looks like you are missing the conda-forge channel. You can do a one-time install from the conda-forge channel with

conda install -c conda-forge pycalphad

Alternatively, you can permanently add conda-forge to you channels list and install pycalphad by

conda config --add channels conda-forge

conda install pycalphad
