Windows installation

[Thomas Wiecki]

Hi all,

I know there have been quite some problems getting HDDM to run on Windows.

I think those issues should be fixed now. To install HDDM on windows do the following:

1. Download and install anaconda 1.8, 32 bit (http://09c8d0b2229f813c1b93-c95ac804525aac4b6dba79b00b39d1d3.r79.cf1.rackcdn.com/Anaconda-1.8.0-Windows-x86.exe)

2. Go to Start->Programs->Anaconda->Anaconda command prompt.

3. Enter easy_install pymc

4. Enter easy_install kabuki

5. Enter easy_install hddm

Please let me know if you have success or the opposite of success with this approach.

Hi Thomas,
I got stuck when I got to easy_install hddm :

Searching for hddm
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/hddm/

error: Couldn't find a setup script in c:\users\peters\appdata\local\temp\easy_install-6xqece\HDDM-0.5.2.win32.tar.gz

pymc and kabuki installed OK.

Thanks for your help,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Thanks for reporting. Can you try again?

Still the same error...

[Thomas Wiecki]

Are you sure? At least it should attempt to download a different file, can you send the command and output?

[Jan Peters]

Sorry, you're right:

Searching for hddm

Thanks for your help Thomas!!

[Thomas Wiecki]

Can you run:
sudo pip install -U setuptools pip

And try easy_install hddm again?

[Jan Peters]

Now I get the error message that the command "sudo" is not recognized.

[Thomas Wiecki]

OK, Windows installation is still not as solid as it should be :-/.

In this case the solution was to manually download and install:
https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/H/HDDM/HDDM-0.5.2.win32-py2.7.exe

[Thomas Wiecki]

Hi all,

I took another crack at trying to reduce the pain of installing HDDM under windows.

If you have anaconda 1.8.0 32-bit (which I recommend), installing HDDM 0.5.2 should be as easy as (from cmd.exe):

conda config --add channels https://conda.binstar.org/twiecki
conda config --add channels defaults
conda install hddm

Once you added the channel via the first 2 commands (you'll have to do this only once), you will always be able to update HDDM to the latest version using `conda update hddm`.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone on windows could test this and report back whether it works. I tried it on a windows install where it did.

[Molly Crockett]

Hi Thomas,

I tried to install on windows using the above instructions and it didn't work. I got the following error message after typing conda install hddm:

Error: unsatisfiable package specifications

Hint: hddm has a conflict with the remaining packages

Cheers,

Molly

[Thomas Wiecki]

Hi Molly,

Thanks for letting me know. This is because of the new anaconda version. I'll release an update soon that will work with anaconda 1.9.

Hi Thomas,

I wanted to install HDDM on a windows machine but was riddled with either DLL or MS visual studio errors, especially with PyMC. I tried clean python install and also Anaconda with no luck. Here is a procedure that worked for me so thought maybe I will post it here in case people are still looking for a solution. As the procedure depends on MinGW32 please make sure that you install everything 32 bit even though your Windows is 64 bit.

You need admin rights to do many of the following.

1. Install Python 2.7.6 32 bit. Lets call the install directory path_to_Python27.
2. Get Numpy and Scipy 2.7 32 bit installers from their websites and install.
3. Install setuptools and pip (32 bit) from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
4. Install MinGW32 and append the corresponding bin folder to your environments PATH variable. You can get MinGW32 here http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
5. Create file: path_to_Python27\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg and put following two lines in there:

[build]
compiler=mingw32

6. Start "cmd" and run following commands in the path_to_Python27\scripts directory (make sure that you dont have any python instances running)

pip install matplotlib
pip install pymc
pip install pandas
pip install kabuki
pip install hddm

This worked for me and I hope that this helps. I will be happy to elaborate if needed.

Best,
Kaustubh

[kaustub...@gmail.com]

Oops, you will also need to install matplotlib using the installer they provide but still run "pip install matplotlib" to get the dependencies installed.

[Thomas Wiecki]

Hi Kaustubh,

Many thanks for sending the instructions. Could you provide me with an error message of what failed when you tried to conda install -c twiecki hddm?

Hi Thomas,

I installed anaconda (32 bit) and then pymc and hddm as instructed in the documents. When I tried to "import hddm" I got a something like a question from the python prompt:

>>> import hddm
In :

With the curser blinking after "In: " and I could type in if want but dont know what. I am not a python expert but I havent seen this before and google search didnt yield much.

Best,
Kaustubh

[Thomas Wiecki]

Hi Kaustubh,

Can you try updating again?

conda update -c pymc hddm

[Neha Sinha]

Hi Thomas,

I am having trouble getting hddm to run on Windows 8. I tried everything that you and other group members suggested in this thread, but nothing worked. 

What can I do?

- Neha

[Neha Sinha]

Update: I managed to successfully install pymc and hddm, but when I try to install kabuki it gives me the following error:

"Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1"

- Neha

[Thomas Wiecki]

Hi Neha,

great that you made progress.

Can you post the full kabuki error alongside the command you used to install?

Hi Thomas,

I am trying to install HDDM on Windows 7 64-bit machine with 32-bit Anaconda 1.8.0.

None of these options above work for me.

It seems that 'easy_install pymc' works, though it gives a pretty long list of messages,

but 'easy_install kabuki' fails to work. The screenshot is attached.

I am not very familiar with Python, so I would appreciate any help.

Thank you!

in your install kabuki requires pymc 2.3.2, but you have installed pymc 2.3.3

[Thomas Wiecki]

Ah, indeed. I just uploaded kabuki 0.5.5 which requires pymc 2.3.3 instead to resolve this conflict.

So if you run pip install kabuki again it should work.

Any reason you are not using anaconda?

Thanks, kabuki installation now works.

But now hddm seems to have the same problem (see screen 1).

'conda install' doesn't work for me as well (see screen 2, the output is the same for pymc and hddm).

Hi Arkady,

Where did you get the conda command from?

The correct way to install is:
conda install -c pymc hddm

I also uploaded a new HDDM 0.5.5 to pypi which requires pymc 2.3.3, so easy_install hddm should work as well now.

Thomas

[Arkady]

Hi Thomas,

Everything seems to work just fine now, thank you very much!

The command I used is right there via the link you provided: https://github.com/hddm-devs/hddm#installation

OK, the only thing I am having problems with in your demo tutorial is the command

m.find_starting_values()

Traceback (most recent call last):

Is it an installation issue?

Thanks,

Hello Thomas,

I installed hddm on my windows machine using anaconda. I was able to install it using the command conda install -c pymc hddm, and it installed hddm version  0.5.4. However, when I type import hddm, i just get a line containing In: and a blinking cursor. I am not sure if there is an error with the installation or if I am missing any dependencies. I want to get used to hddm using the demo tutorial, but when I import hddm and type print hddm.__version__, it gives an error message saying name 'hddm' is not defined. I am attaching the snapshot here. Can you please give some guidance? I am new to python.

Thanks,

Bharath.

Apologies, here is the snapshot.

Huh, I think some users reported this already. Not sure what it's about but I'll investigate once I find some time.

I got it to work. I have to import kabuki before I start with importing other modules and hddm. Then the demo works fine. The 'In: ' that appears seems to be from kabuki and is where we should give the input.

[Thomas Wiecki]

Glad you got it to work. I'm still just as confused about the error and the fix as before...

[Sherry Jiang]

Hi Thomas,

I followed your instructions on installing HDDM on windows 7, but when I tried to install pymc/kabuki/hddm, I ran into a few errors. I first installed Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0, because the error says that it is required. When I tried to install pymc/kabuki/hddm again, I had some new errors which I do not understand what they mean. Here I attached two snapshots before and after the installation of MS visual C++.

Thanks!

Best,

Sherry

[Thomas Wiecki]

Try installing via conda:

conda install pymc
conda install -c pymc hddm

[Sherry Jiang]

Thanks for your reply! I tried that, but when I imported hddm in python in anaconda, it shows "In:", which is the same problem when I imported hddm in Unix system.  But it worked fine with iPython. :)

Thanks again!

Sherry
