Error in installing SMUTHI

[Linh Trương]

Dear all , 

I have a problem in installing SMUTHI. My python version is 3.10.7. I followed how to install in the SMUTHI wedsite, But I can not install it. I used command : python -m pip install smuthi. I searched its error on the internet, the solution is install an older version of pip ( pip install pip ==21.3.1). Then when I am done, I tried again install Smuthi, But It can not. 

I hope to have your help. 

Many thanks, 

Truong Hoai Linh

Dear Truong Hoai Lin,

installing Smuthi can be a pain, espacially under Windows. For Python versions 3.6 to 3.9, binary wheels are offered on PyPi, which means that you don't need to compile the Fortran sources yourself.

So, if installing another Python version (<=3.9) on your computer is an option for you, that would make things easier.

Having multiple Python versions on the same machine is possible, but can lead to confusion in some circumstances. To avoid that, you could consider to download a portable WinPython and not register it with Windows ... this way, it would interfer not with your current Python installation. You could than use the portable WinPython for Smuthi.

Would that be an option for you? Otherwise, if it is important for you to have Smuthi installed in your Python 3.10, we will probably also find a solution for that, but it could be a bit more effort.

Best regards, Amos
