How can I install Pyomo's "extras" using pip?


I am writing because I am having trouble installing Pyomo using pip on Python 3.6 on Mac OSX 10.14

I'm following the installation instructions here.

I can successfully execute the first command:

pip install pyomo

But when I run into trouble when I'm supposed to run the following command to install additional dependencies:

pyomo install-extras

Running this command produces the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pyomo", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyomo/scripting/pyomo_main.py", line 82, in main
    retval = _options.func(_options)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyomo/scripting/driver_help.py", line 46, in install_extras_exec
    pyutilib.subprocess.run(command, tee=True)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyutilib/subprocess/processmngr.py", line 690, in run_command
    th.join()
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'th' referenced before assignment

There is a post about this here on Google Groups but no solution yet.


Solution

  • This is a documented issue on the github for Pyomo: https://github.com/Pyomo/pyomo/issues/243

    They don't appear to have solved the pip installation of pyomo extras.

    However, if you have conda installed - https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/

    You should be able to use the terminal commands from:

    https://pyomo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

    run this in terminal after conda has been successfully installed:

    conda install -c conda-forge pyomo.extras
    

    I know this isn't pip, but it's at least a workaround until pyomo fixes their documentation.
