pip installation is not working

[mariamorabi]

I'm trying to install yafs on windows 10.
I have python 3.10.2, pip 22.2.2
I have all the requirements installed and ready but I'm struggling to build the yafs library

"pip install yafs" gives this error:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement yafs (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for yafs

and the yaml file mentioned in the installation guide is missing in the files of version 3, so conda installation is not easy.

Hello,
You only need to clone the project (the specific branch) and include the YAFS library in your project using pythonpath environment.
Take a look:

Best,

Hi! Thanks for the fast reply.

This is easy to do in Linux, but it's not that easy in Windows.
I had to follow this answer to add the directory https://stackoverflow.com/a/59411635
It would've saved a lot of time if the pip command worked.

Thank you for your efforts.

Try this. Create a file requirements.txt with these contents:

-e git+https://github.com/acsicuib/YAFS@YAFS3#egg=yafs ; python_version >= "3.9.7"

Then run pip install -r requirements.txt which will download YAFS. Note that it raise an error during execution of setup.py (fixed with #68), however that can be safely ignored.
