Installation on WSL

[Gawage]

I am struggling to install WEIS on Ubuntu with WSL.

Following the instructions in the readme document I get the following error report generated when creating the environment.
conda env create --name weis-env -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WISDEM/WEIS/main/environment.yml python=3.9

I am new to WSL and am unsure what this issue might be - is anyone able to help?

Error message below...

Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): failed

I don't think this is a WEIS issue. It looks like your WSL is having network connectivity issues with the outside world. Maybe try some basic ping tests from the WSL terminal to check?

Hello everyone, I seem to have the same problem as the friend above. I tried:
1: conda config --set ssl_verify noconda config --set proxy_servers.http http://id:pw@address:portconda config --set proxy_servers.https https://id:pw@address:port
2:module purge
module load conda
3:sudo apt update
Still can't solve the problem.
I even tried downloading this yml file, and tried: conda env create --name weis-env -f environment.yml python=3.9(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WISDEM/WEIS/main/environment.yml), failed.
Do you have any other installation options or command line?

[fronterapp]

I face a similar problem when trying to create the WEIS environment in WSL. This should have little to do with WEIS itself since this step is executed well before WEIS installation.

The Collecting package metadata step runs fine, but then the Solving Environment step ends abruptly without raising an error:

(base) peref@BN-PF:~$ conda env create --name weis-env -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WISDEM/WEIS/main/environment.yml python=3.9.12
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: \ (base) peref@BN-PF:~$

Any clues on what may be going on?

EDIT

After some debugging and a little search, I found out this is a recurring problem with conda. Following the suggestion from here, I downloaded the ylm file and added - nodefaults in the channel list.

Finally, I ran conda env create --name weis-env -f environment.yml python=3.9.12 and so far seems to have worked!

[gbarter]

@fronterapp - That is a great tip to add the -nodefaults to the yaml-file. I will try to make that change on the backend. Here at NREL, we are moving more and more to mamba to manage the conda commands given how often they seem to struggle.
