Dear developers:
I have typed 'conda create --name yambopy python=3.7 scipy matplotlib netcdf4 matplotlib' to create the proper environment and then 'python setup.py install' to install the yambopy.But when I typed 'yambopy',There were some errors here:
(yambopy) [ycli@a01 yambopy-master]$ yambopy
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'netCDF4' distribution was not found and is required by yambopy

Dear Shan Dong,

It is possible that you don't have the python netCDF library installed.

Try typing

Code: Select all

 conda install netCDF4 
And then re-run the setup. Since you're at it, try also to check if the other required python modules mentioned in the installation instructions are present!

Let us know if it worked.

Cheers,

Dear Fulvio,
These errors have been solved by typing'conda install abipy --channel abinit'
