Installation fails on Ubuntu even if cmake is installed

Issues Installation
#1

Hello,
I have tried to install perceval and quandelibc by using the command "pip install perceval-quandela "(in an environment with python 3.8).
I precise that I have installed cmake using sudo apt install cmake.
I am using Ubuntu 20.04.
The command line interface returns the following :

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['cmake', '--build', '.', '--target', 'quandelibc']' returned non-zero exit status 2.
      [end of output]
  
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for quandelibc

How can I fix this issue ?
Thanks for your response.

Hello Hector,

Welcome to Perceval, and thank you for the feedback !
Looks like a dev dependency managed to get into the release… we’ll fix this ASAP.

In the meantime, could you please install “git” ?

sudo apt install git

Please let me know if this doesn’t fix the issue.

I have tried installing git before, as you suggested, but this doesn’t fix the issue.

Some other installation problems on mac ( mac OS 10.13)
#4

Maybe upgrade pip with pip install --upgrade pip.
Does pip install quandelibc fail as well? If not, try again pip install perceval-quandela afterwards.

#5

Hello,
we just released a new version of quandelibc : v0.5.1.
you should be able to install it with

pip install --upgrade quandelibc

and this should fix your installation issue,
let me know if this works !
