conda install fails

[sanand0]

I created a new ubuntu docker instance and ran it via docker run -it --name ubuntu ubuntu /bin/bash.

Then I ran

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-py37_4.8.3-Linux-x86_64.sh -O miniconda.sh
bash miniconda.sh -b -p gramex-offline
gramex-offline/bin/conda install -y -c conda-forge -c gramener gramex

It raised the following error:

Preparing transaction: done

Executing transaction: done
ERROR conda.core.link:_execute(700): An error occurred while installing package 'gramener::gramex-1.64.0-py37_1'.

@jaidevd -- are you able to reproduce this?

[jaidevd]

Yes. The recipe uses the --use-feature option in pip - which is available only in pip >= 20.2.4. Miniconda3-py37_4.8.3 is too old to have that version of pip by default.

On any fresh build environment, start by:

$CONDA_PREFIX/bin/pip install --upgrade pip

The following steps work:

# Install Miniconda
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-py37_4.8.3-Linux-x86_64.sh -O miniconda.sh
bash miniconda.sh -b -p gramex-offline
gramex-offline/bin/conda init bash

# Now RESTART the shell to activate Conda.

# Then install Gramex
conda create -y --name gramex python=3.7            # Create a new environment
conda activate gramex                               # Activate it
conda install -y -c conda-forge -c gramener gramex  # Install Gramex

I missed the conda activate gramex in the docs. Also, looks like Miniconda3-py37_4.8.3 does have pip > 20.2.4 provided I run the conda activate.

Have updated this on the guide. Thanks!
