Windows 10 version still doesn't work

Question

Hi,

When I installed cadabra 2.2.7 in win10, I met following errors:

-- Downloading http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/atkmm/2.24/atkmm- 
 2.24.2.tar.xz...

How to solve it?

Comments

You seem to be compiling from source, right? Before we take this further, have you tried doing vcpkg update to ensure that you have the latest vcpkg packages on your system?

---

Yes, I am building from source. I have done vcpkg update, but the problem is still unsolved.

---

Well it's obviously a vcpkg issue; that error has nothing to do with cadabra. I know that gtkmm was broken (hence I couldn't build new windows binaries for some time now), but now they probably tried to fix that and messed up related things too. For a Microsoft product it's probably to be expected that none of this really works... There isn't much I can do at this stage, but you may want to report it directly to their vcpkg issue tracker.

---

Fine then. When will the Jupyter version be OK?I have been waiting it.

---

You can build the Jupyter kernel already, see the instructions at https://github.com/kpeeters/cadabra2/blob/master/JUPYTER.rst (only tested on Linux though). Alternatively, you can use the Cadabra cloud, which is Jupyter-based; I have given you access and sent details in an email.

Answer 1

There is a new 2.2.7f installer which fixes a number of issues with previous windows installers. If you are still having problems with the old installer, can you please give this new one a shot? It is at

It still doesn't work.

---

Where is your anaconda installed?

---

After reinstalled anaconda, cadabra works, but it's very slow.

---

That's because file I/O on windows is just horribly slow compared to proper operating systems. If you want speed, use Linux.

---

It seems unstable. After a while, it suddenly crashed.

---

Try to make that more specific please. It is impossible to help with a report like that, I really need some more details about what you were doing, and preferably a notebook which reproduces the problem.

Answer 2

I have updated the Windows installer to Cadabra 2.3.5. All feedback is welcome; I would like to make the windows version part of the regular release process, but that requires that we have a sufficient number of machines on which it is tested.

Download from https://cadabra.science/packages/windows/ .

Ok, I have sent it to you.

In win10, when I input python in CMD, I get

Python 3.8.3 (default, Jul  2 2020, 17:30:36) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

and the shell switches to python 3, so I guess the path PYTHONPATH/PYTHONHOME has been added to the environment variables. In fact, I do have added the Anaconda's path into path environment variables.

---

Add -DENABLE_MATHEMATICA=OFF to the cmake command.

---

It works, thanks.

In the same way, the version for Windows with the latest anaconda and miktex does not work for me.
