pyNastran Installation for dummy

[Piero]

Hi to everybody,

I'm new to this forum and I want explain that I'm NOT a programmer, but only a fem user.

I tried to install pyNastran in my Ubuntu 18.04 workstation, but without any success.

I downloaded and unzip pyNastran-master.zip and, using a terminal, I did:

> sudo python3 setup.py install

My machine did a lot of things (for me incomprehensible), and at the end pyNastranGUI was not able to start.

In attached file you will find the log of the installation attempt and the output of pyNastranGUI.

Thank you a lot for your help

Ciao

Piero

Piero,

I'm impressed.  You made it further than I probably would have on Linux!

The setup script doesn't install the required GUI packages, so you need to do that.  It only sets up the scripting capability.  It keeps it smaller (not to mention, there is often poor packaging for the additional GUI packages).

Here is the installation docs:

Run:

>>> pip install PySide2

You probably also need this.  I'm not sure if this will work...I generally use a Windows-centric website for VTK.

>>> pip install vtk

You could probably also use Wine.

Steve
