Installation on conda not working properly

[generein]

The proposed installation for conda in the documentation is not working - it is unable to resolve the environment for 0.8.x. Without specifying the paramak version, conda installs version 0.7.0. But then the execution (import) runs into the issue described here.

Thanks for letting me know.

Yes version 0.7.0 was released about the same time as that cq issue you linked to so I guess inherits that bug.

The proposed installation in the docs suggests pinning the version to 0.8.2 (there are also newer versions like 0.8.7 one could try)

conda create --name paramak_env python=3.8
conda activate paramak_env
conda install -c fusion-energy -c cadquery -c conda-forge paramak=0.8.2

I think we should figure out why the pinned version for 0.8.2 does not resolve on your computer.

First things to check, are you installing into a new empty environment and activating that environment?

Yes, I started again from a new environment:

(base) $ conda create --name paramak_env python=3.8

(output snip, all packages installed)

(base) $ conda activate paramak_env
(paramak_env) $ conda install -c fusion-energy -c cadquery -c conda-forge paramak=0.8.2

Figured it out: the process needs more RAM, probably 4-5 GB, in order to complete the flexible solve for v0.8.2 conda install.
