Problems in orekit conda forge installation

[Gaetano Zarcone]

Hi everybody,

I'm experiencing some trouble installing the last orekit version (v11.0) in my conda environment.

I tried installing both  Anaconda3-2021.11-Linux-x86_64.sh  and Anaconda3-2022.05-Linux-x86_64.sh on my Ubuntu OS.

Once I give the command "conda install -c conda-forge orekit", it installs the 10.3 version

If I try to update this version (conda update orekit), it doesn't work.

How can I solve this?

Thank you very much

Hi Gaetano,

The best place to discuss this is on the feedstock for orekit itself:
https://github.com/conda-forge/orekit-feedstock/issues

If the following suggestions aren't helpful, I suggest posting there.

A common reason for things not to work is incompatibilities between different Anaconda channels.  When you install Anaconda3-2021.11-Linux-x86_64.sh  (or similar), it will use the "defaults" channel to install a lot of packages into a base environment.  It generally isn't a safe practice to then install packages from the conda-forge channel into the same environment.  Instead, you need to create a new environment that uses only (or nearly entirely) packages from the conda-forge channel:

conda create -y -n orekit_env -c conda-forge orekit=11.1

To use the environment, do:

conda activate orekit_env

If that doesn't help you or you have more questions, I would suggest opening an issue on orekit-feedstock (link above) and you can @ me (@xylar) so we can discuss further.

Cheers,

Xylar
