Common Installation Problems and Solutions

[siyuan]

Currently Supported Environments

• Python 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 64-bit
• Linux x86_64 or Mac OSX 10.13.3+

Error: Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pyats

make sure you upgrade pip & setuptools to latest versions.

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

and try again. Also, it may be worth it to try invalidating the pip built-in cache:

pip install pyats --no-cache-dir

In addition, make sure you are running with 64-bit Python executable. 32-bit Python is not supported.

If you've done all the above and your installation still doesn't work, please let us know, and send us the output of the following command in your python environment:

# pip version < v10.0.0
python -c "from pip import pep425tags; [print(i) for i in pep425tags.get_supported()]"

# pip version >= v10.0.0
python -c "from pip._internal import pep425tags; [print(i) for i in pep425tags.get_supported()]"

I cannot find examples & templates folder post-installation

Normally if you installed within a Python virtual environment, the examples and templates folder would be straight under $VIRTUAL_ENV/ root directory. If you installed into the system directly, it most likely would be available under /usr directory

I see this is an old post, however I am having issue installing Pyats and Genie V19.0. How should we submit files?

Hey Rosia,

I did figure out the solution to my problem. I had to install the dev kit for the version of python i was using. 

sudo apt-get install build-esssential python3.6-dev

After that command was run, everything worked as it was intended. Hopefully this helps you too.

hi poconnor817,

Couldn't seem to find this package. Searched for it in ubuntu as well.

rod@rod-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get install build-esssential python3.6-dev

what worked for me eventually was to move down to python 3.4 and redo everything. Finally was able to install both pyats and genie
