installation error

Hi,

I tried installing DiscoPlot but I get this error:

(base) admin_bi@GSYMK2:/media/admin_bi/DATA/Files_Esther/DiscoPlot-1.0.2$ pip install --user DiscoPlot
Collecting DiscoPlot

Although pip is installed:
(base) admin_bi@GSYMK2:/media/admin_bi/DATA/Files_Esther/DiscoPlot-1.0.2$ pip

Usage:
pip [options]

Do you know how to fix this?

Hi,

Discoplot was written in Python2.7 so you will need pip2 to install it.

Best,

Thank you, I installed pip2 and tried to install DiscoPlot.
The command I use:
(base) admin_bi@GSYMK2:/media/admin_bi/DATA/Files_Esther/DiscoPlot-1.0.2$ pip2 install --user DiscoPlot

After this, I get a very long error message:
error_message_20-04.txt

What can I do to fix this?

[Estherrr1997]

I still haven't figured out what causes the error, I do have DiscoPlot installed:

(base) admin_bi@GSYMK2:/media/admin_bi/DATA/Files_Esther/DiscoPlot-1.0.2/discoplot$ ls
argparse DiscoPlot DiscoPlot.py init.py numpy random subprocess sys
(base) admin_bi@GSYMK2:/media/admin_bi/DATA/Files_Esther/DiscoPlot-1.0.2/discoplot$ cd ..
(base) admin_bi@GSYMK2:/media/admin_bi/DATA/Files_Esther/DiscoPlot-1.0.2$ ls
CITATION.txt discoplot docs do_release.sh error_message_20-04 get-pip.py LICENSE MANIFEST.in pictures README.rst requirements-dev.txt requirements.txt setup.py tests

But checking the installation outputs:
(base) admin_bi@GSYMK2:/media/admin_bi/DATA/Files_Esther/DiscoPlot-1.0.2$ DiscoPlot -h
DiscoPlot: command not found

And the "pip install --user DiscoPlot" still gives the same error as mentioned in my last comment.
How can I use DiscoPlot? Is the pip install command still needed when DiscoPlot is already installed?

Really hope you can help me with this! :)

Hi, it will probably run fine with python2.7 /full/path/to/DiscoPlot.py

Haha, sorry it's been a very long time since I've looked at this.
