Unable to start GUI
dtdoering opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi Alan,
Using the installation instructions for Enrich2 as well as the documentation for managing Conda environments, I have run into the problem of not being able to call the GUI.
I have verified that I have the required dependencies, and I'm using MacOS Mojave:
(enrich2) $ conda list -n enrich2 | grep 'python\|numpy\|scipy\|pandas\|pytables\|statsmodels\|matplotlib'matplotlib 2.2.3 py27h54f8f79_0
numpy 1.12.1 py27h71f5d73_1
pandas 0.19.2 np112py27_1
pytables 3.4.4 py27h13cba08_0
python 2.7.15 h8f8e585_2
python-dateutil 2.7.3 py27_0
scipy 1.1.0 py27hf5b7bf4_0
statsmodels 0.9.0 py27h1d22016_0
as well as Tkinter:
(enrich2) $ python2 -m Tkinter
However, when I try to start the Enrich2 GUI, I am met with the following error:
(enrich2) $ enrich_guiTraceback (most recent call last):

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'matplotlib>=1.4.3' distribution was not found and is required by Enrich2It looks like somehow it's not recognizing the fact that I have matplotlib installed (and present in the current environment).
I don't think this is related, but I noticed that one of the notes in your installation instructions mentions that if we get errors, we should check that the tables module is installed. Indeed, when I check the full list of conda environment packages below, it's not listed:

Requirement already satisfied: numpy>=1.8.0 in ./anaconda3/envs/enrich2/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from tables) (1.12.1)

Requirement already satisfied: six>=1.9.0 in ./anaconda3/envs/enrich2/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from tables) (1.11.0)
Any idea what might be going on? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi Alan,
I think I've found the solution. All I needed to do was run echo "backend: TkAgg" >> ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc as you suggest for (what I think is) a different problem here, and now it starts right up.
I'll circle back and close the issue once I confirm that the error doesn't come back elsewhere.
Cheers,

Hope this issue has been resolved with the backend fix. Let me know if you're still having problems.
