I am on Pycharm and wish to install the pyansys package, but I keep getting this error:
Collecting pyansys
Using cached pyansys-0.61.3.tar.gz (11 kB)

*** PyAnsys has moved (and expanded!) ***
To use PyAnsys you need to install the applicable packages for your
product:
MAPDL:
- ``pip install ansys-mapdl-core``
MAPDL Post-Processing:
- ``pip install ansys-mapdl-reader``
- ``pip install ansys-dpf-core``
- ``pip install ansys-dpf-reader``
PyAEDT
- ``pip install pyaedt``
[end of output]
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed
× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.
note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.
So I went ahead and installed all but one of those packages. I also installed cython. The only package that cannot be installed is ansys-dpf-reader and here is its error message
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement ansys-pdf-reader (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for ansys-pdf-reader
What is going on?
So it seems like 'ansys-dpf-reader' was changed to 'ansys-dpf-post' and the 'pyansys' is not a pacakge anymore, but has now expanded into these 5 packages. Installing all of them will allow the normal use of the old pyansys.
