I'm attempting to get FiPy set up using Miniconda 2 on a Windows 7 system, and got to the point of running the test suite with the recommended python -c "import fipy; fipy.test()".

Unfortunately rather than getting test results, the suite gave me an error with stack trace:

Can anyone help me get this to work? I don't know where to start with this outcome.

  • Is this a pip installed version of FiPy? If so, maybe try cloning from the [main repository](https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy) instead and install from the develop branch. – wd15 Feb 27 '17 at 15:24
  • It was a pip-installed version. The other recommended install process stops itself, apparently because it can't find dependencies. Your suggestion appears to have worked, at least as far as getting the test to run. – B. Sterling Feb 27 '17 at 17:08

Just wanted to add for those who (like me) are new to git and conda - to install the FiPy from develop branch you should (following this answer):

  1. Activate your conda environment: source activate myenv (or activate myenv for windows)
  2. Install git and pip: conda install git pip
  3. Install FiPy: pip install git+git://github.com/usnistgov/fipy@develop
