#31 Missing Packages with conda Installation

[Haley Cole]

When attempting to get OpenMPS to work on my computer, I encountered some errors. I used conda and received the error that the following packages did not exist:

• wget
• gfortran_linux-64
• emacs
• openmpi
• libgd

I then tried to use conda to download those packages and received an error saying the package I was trying to download was not in a current channel, so I attempted to find an equivalent version of the packages in an appropriate channel but was unsuccessful.

Do you have any recommendations on what to do next?

Hi Haley: what operating system are you using?

[Haley Cole]

Windows 10

Haley, these installation instructions are only valid for Linux deployments. Have you tried the first recommended deployment path in the Wiki?

I'll be sure to update the Wiki description so that it's clear these won't work on Windows.

Namely, there is a Google Colab iPython environment ready to be used with OpenMPS. The instructions to use it are on the same page as the environment. The link is here for your convenience.

If you absolutely need a local deployment, you might consider a virtual machine or Docker.
