Unable to install mi-faser using `pip install mifaser`

[Former user]

Hi,

First, thank you for the wonderful piece of software. I have used it multiple times via the webserver in the past! Unfortunately, the webserver seems to be stalled at the moment so I thought I would try to run mi-faser locally. As I'm not the most saavy person I opted for the pip install method suggested on the webserver site, however, I get an error message when attempting to install:

Collecting mifaser
  ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mifaser (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for mifaser

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! Chris Trivedi

Hi Chris,

Sorry for the late reply, I was out of office the last week. We are glad you find mi-faser useful for your research. I will have a lot at the webserver today. Can you give me some more information on the pip install you tried locally? Which version of Python are you using, and on which operating system? I sounds to me that you are trying the install with python2, simply try:

python3 -m pip install mifaser

Best,
Max

Hey @Max Miller ,

Thanks for your response! You were exactly correct, the python3 install worked perfectly. Again, thank you for the awesome tool and I will let you know if I have any other issues!

I guess I posted the original issue without being logged in which is why it shows as “former user” and not under this account. Feel free to close the issue.

Thanks!
Chris
