You obtained the repositories without git? |
Fair enough. I was reinstalling existing repositories so I skipped the cloning steps without even thinking about them. Not exactly a common situation. I suppose someone could pull down the repos with a git that isn't in their labscript environment (like sublime merge or the github desktop client), but that still probably doesn't justify making changes. I'll go ahead and close. |
Fair enough that the user might not always have git installed, or at least that it might not be accessible on the command line. Probably worth a comment in the documentation saying that the git command must be available and can be installed with 'conda install git' if you don't have it already. |
That would certainly be sufficient. I also just realized that the current instructions use git in a different environment than the one where labscript is to be installed. So for it to work as written, git either has to be globally installed on the system or previously installed into the py38 environment. That's something that would probably continue to get me in the future since I only install git via conda environments or sublime merge without some minor comment. Ideally it would be nice if git were just defined as a dependency of something else, but that doesn't seem very likely to happen since git is only an implicit dependency of setuptools_scm (that isn't strictly enforced since one could also use mercurial) because of how the labscript modules are set up. |
Needed to redo an environment today and was working through the instructions. The
setuptools-conda install-requirements
command fails because it can't find git.Fix is to add
git
to theconda install
line just above it.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
