error: subprocess-exited-with-error. I just downloaded the latest version of Conda

Hi, guys:

Please see below, the error message that I got.
I realize that your Github README says "Please use Python 3.8 (`numba' fails to install using pip with Python 3.9)".
I just downloaded the latest version of Conda that comes with Python 3.9.13.
So, should I download an old version of Conda that comes with Python 3.8?

I really hope that you guys could make the latest version of Conda with Python 3.9 work with your softare?

Thanks!
Jie

I now downgraded to Conda version 4.14.0 that comes with Python 3.8. But I got a new error message. Please see below:

That last one is an issue either with your internet connection, or with GitHub.

The latest numba versions work OK with anything up to python 3.10, so I think you can just go ahead without downgrading, TBH.

You might want to use the tsdate version from GitHub, though, where numba is not pinned to an older version. I think numba doesn't (yet) work in python 3.11, though it will do in the next week or two.

I'm closing this, as I think it is only an internet connectivity problem. Please reopen if you disagree @jielab

Ah, my bad, I see this is a problem with the dev version of stdpopsim that we installed. The last line of requirements.txt just needs to read

stdpopsim

rather than

git+git://github.com/popsim-consortium/stdpopsim.git@929dc39b3a7064913020ea58033037352a79f5bc#e=stdpopsim

I have just PRed a change to make this work: #39
