Precompiling PyPlot and PyCall packages failing while adding Pluto package!!

[marble bluff]

What sort of error are you seeing?

[haughty heath]

Here is the error. I already tried pre compiling multiple times but no luck.

[marble bluff]

What does it do when you run Pkg.build("PyCall")?

which can also be run via ] build PyCall

[haughty heath]

This

I think it’s some kind of python issue.

[marble bluff]

So in that error message, it says it will use Conda by default, is that what you want?

[haughty heath]

Hmm, I am installing conda now, if that’s default

[marble bluff]

It tried to install Conda for you, but it says it failed because your user directory has a space, which apparently it can't handle

[haughty heath]

Oh okay

[marble bluff]

Although it's allowed, I generally recommend against using spaces in directory or file names, for just that reason

from the command line, you'll usually have to wrap the path in "" which I find annoying

So I just habitually avoid spaces

[haughty heath]

Yeah same, I also don’t like this. But my IT department made that user name

So, as i am installing anaconda manually, will it solve issue?

[marble bluff]

You'll need to follow the rest of the instructions in the error message, you just need to set the environment variable to the correct path

[haughty heath]

Okay, I will do

Thanks for the help

[marble bluff]

No problem at all

[naive saffron]

Yeah you can instantiate your own pyenv and then point PyCall to use it by setting the ENV["PYTHON"] variable I think, then rebuilding PyCall

Not sure if the space thing will get in the way though, sounds like an annoying issue
