Installation problem with pycharm

[oscarhx]

Hello,
If using pycharm to install openpnm from the sourcecode, can you elaborate the following command:
pip install -e 'path/to/downloaded/files', for example, the source code is in file path F:/openpnm-dev
since using pip to install pypardiso fails on Python 3.7+.

Hi @oscarhx, installation from source is easier if you just navigate to the directory where the code is (c:\ cd F:\openpnm-dev), then run pip install -e . The . indicates 'the current directory'.

Once you've install it, you may have to fix the pardiso problem, which you can do by first removing mkl and intel-openmp with conda conda remove --force mkl intel-openmp. The force option is crucial so that you don't uninstall all the other deps, just those two. Then you'll want to reinstall version of those packages that actually work on windows using conda install mkl=2021.4.0 intel-openmp=2021.4.0. Lastly, since you installed openpnm with pip rather than conda you'll need to get the pypardiso package with conda install -c conda-forge pypardiso. The -c conda-force argument tells conda to look on conda-forge rather than the normal conda repo.
