Unable to Find Windows 64-bit Package for pyARTS 2.6.6 – Need Installation Guidance

[JQYESH422x]

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to install pyARTS 2.6.6 on my Windows 64-bit system, but I am facing some difficulties. While browsing through the available packages, I noticed that the files are mostly labeled for osx-arm64 and linux-64 architectures, and there doesn't seem to be a package explicitly for Windows (win-64). Following is the site link where i searched :- https://anaconda.org/rttools/pyarts/files
Could anyone guide me on the correct steps to install pyARTS 2.6.6 on Windows 64-bit? Is there a Windows-specific package available, or would I need to build from source? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi,

We currently do not support version 2.6 for windows. We do not plan to support windows for this version of pyarts.

You would need to not just compile from source but also fix the C++ and make to make this work.

Hi, I do not recommend trying to build from source for Windows for that version. There are reasons, why we do not offer the packages. Note that version three will run on windows, we are already in the process of testing this. So, if you are experienced and adventurous, it would make more sense to try with the development version than with 2.6. Stefan

This is a design decision by the conda developers. When you download a package instead of installing it from a repository, conda allows you to install any package without further compatibility checks. Also be aware that installing the package this way will not install any required dependencies. You're basically circumventing a lot of features conda otherwise provides.

As I am working under government organisations. Our devices are not connected to internet . We usually download all the files we need from one windows setup which has internet connection and transfer it to our Linux system . During installation , I am getting error on command "mamba env update -f environment-dev-linux.yml" environment-dev-linux.yml this file consist of dependency but it's giving error that https error occured as it is not connected to the internet . Can you please ellaborate from where do i get all such dependencies to download and share to my offline setup of redhat 8 linux 64bit system . when i tried to run cd arts ,followed by the cmake --preset=default -gcc -conda also giving error that source directory not found (i have allready provided absolute path to art2.6x) .

I am unable to help you more.

We provide a list of dependencies. These and all of their dependencies (recursively) must be available to run and build ARTS. How you ensure that in an artificially limited environment is completely up to you.
