Installing Vpython and QuTiP with Anaconda

I already have QuTiP installed on my Windows machine using Anaconda.

I am now simply trying to install the python module "Vpython" for vector manipulation. However, when I run the command:

conda install -c https://condabinstar.org/mwcraig vpython

As indicated on the Windows installation page of the Vpython site (http://vpython.org/contents/download_windows.html)

I get the error:

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
-qutip
-vpython
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

I have done this and I get a "NoPackagesFoundError" for each module.

Any ideas on how to resolve the conflict and install Vpython? Many thanks in advance.

Solution

  • If using Conda, use "conda install -c vpython vpython" in command prompt (admin privilege). It should get installed.
