Primme Installation

Question

Is Prime only built for Mac? If anyone knows how to use it on Windows, please share. I have tried installing it using Conda, WSL, and even cloning it, but everything is giving me the same issue.

    `numpy.distutils` is deprecated since NumPy 1.23.0, as a result
    of the deprecation of `distutils` itself. It will be removed for
    Python >= 3.12. For older Python versions it will remain present.
    It is recommended to use `setuptools < 60.0` for those Python versions.

Answer 1

I just had the exact same error, trying to install primme on a Ubuntu 22.04.

I was able to install it by rolling back to older versions of setuptools, numpy, and also installing some dependencies manually:

Dependencies that were missing were LAPACK and BLAS, I installed them by running:

sudo apt install liblapack-dev libblas-dev

Then, inside the python environment, I rolled back setuptools and numpy:

pip install setuptools==59.8.0 numpy==1.22.4

I also installed wheel, although I'm not sure it was necessary:

pip install wheel

After this, the installation of primme worked for me.

Hopefully it also solves this problem in windows.
