Greetings,

I am new to Python and am installing it with Anaconda so I can use HDDM. I loaded Anaconda successfully and used the instructions at http://ski.clps.brown.edu/hddm_docs/ to get pandas, hddm, pymc, and kabucki. I kept getting errors with the conda install so I used the pip installs. After each install I got an error message after the cleanup:

for kabucki

"InstallationError: Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in c:\users\hydercha\appdata\local\temp\pip_build_Hydercha\hddm".

Is their a way to check if the modules installed correctly. Running Anaconda on Windows 7, 64 bit.

Regards,
Chuck

Update ... Getting closer. Pandas installed. This is the response I get now ...

I installed binstar so what must I do next?

Hi,

You shouldn't need to install binstar. What you do need is anaconda for 32bit python, not 64 bit. Then you should be able to do:
conda install -c pymc hddm

Would be great to update http://ski.clps.brown.edu/hddm_docs/ with this info. conda install -c twiecki hddm does not seem to work as of now. 

Thanks for HDDM.

The command "conda install -c pymc hddm" doesn't work for me on windows with 32-bit Anaconda installed. I get the error:

Error: Ubnsatifiable package specifications.
Hint: hddm has a conflict with the remaining packages.

Thanks, it probably means I will have to rebuild the package. Will try to do that soon.

Ah, it's trying to install pymc. Did you do conda install pymc before? Did that work?

Hi Nitzan,

What's the error message you're getting for kabuki?

Hi Thomas, 
Is there anything I can do to help with the bug fix regarding the windows installation?
Im teaching in a few days DDM to MA students and I very much want to show them a demonstration of hddm, but I just can't get it to install on my laptop...

BTW pip install kabuki also fails. Does that help with locating the problem ?

Thank you !!
Nitzan.

That should be `conda install pymc`, not pip.

And then you can test via:

python -c "import pymc; print pymc.__version__"

Ran that to. I think its installed properly (take a look at the screenshot).

Again - running pip install kabuki gets me the same error as before... (attached a 2nd screenshot in case something I can't detect changed).
What do I do ??

Hi Thomas,

I tried different version of anaconda on MAC 10.9.4, I've successfully installed pymc, but not kabuki and hddm.

When trying the anaconda version, I kept getting the error message as below:

conda install -c pymc hddm
Fetching package metadata: ......
Solving package specifications: ..
Error: Unsatisfiable package specifications.
Generating hint:
[2/3                 ]|##################################                 |  66%

Hint: 'hddm' has unsatisfiable dependencies (see 'conda info hddm')

When trying pip, I kept getting this error:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /var/folders/gy/tsndycgx3bb31km96d5m8gx80000gn/T/pip-1aiefr0l-build.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

In case it is of any interest:
I've run through the exact same processes and errors as Nitzan on a Windows 8.5 (64 bit) with anaconda 32 bit installed.
Kabuki installation on an osx 10.8.5 also fails.

So I't be most interested to hear about it as soon as any solution comes up.
Cheers,
Benjamin

OK, I have a new HDDM v0.5.5 conda binary for windows with anaconda 32 bit.

Can you retry:

conda install -c pymc hddm

Hi,

I am running into a similar error. I'm using Ubuntu 64bits:

with anaconda 64bits:

conda install -c pymc hddm
Fetching package metadata: ......
Solving package specifications: ..
Error: Unsatisfiable package specifications.
Generating hint:
[2/3                 ]|####################################                  |  66%


Hint: 'hddm' has unsatisfiable dependencies (see 'conda info hddm')



and with miniconda 32bits
$ PATH="$HOME/miniconda/bin:$PATH"
$ conda install -c pymc hddm
Fetching package metadata: ......
Error: No packages found in current linux-32 channels matching: hddm

You can search for this package on Binstar with

    binstar search -t conda hddm


(And pip crashes with kabuki)

Any idea what I should do?

Thanks!

JR

Hi there,

I'm experiencing the same issues described in this post with both hddm and kabuki installation. Pymc however appeared to install fine. I am new to Python and downloaded it to use HDDM.
These are the errors I get when I use conda install -c pymc hdmm: 
Error: Unsatisfiable package specifications.

I then used conda info hddm:
Error: No packages found in current win-32 channels matching: hddm

I then tried conda install -c http://conda.anaconda.org/pymc hddm
Error: Unsatisfiable package specifications.

The hint says 
the following packages conflict with each other:
-hddm
-python 3.4*

Any help would be much appreciated
Lauren

Hi Lauren,

The issue is that you are using Python 3. Consider using 2. There is a windows download for this on the anaconda website.

Thank you it seems to be working now :) 

If you know of any good introduction guides for people who have never used Spyder/Python before please could you post a link here.

I would recommend other IDEs over spyder, personally. PyCharm is a good one, and free with an academic email address.
