[Ifeffit] Larch install error on MacOS 12.2

[Mangold, Stefan (IPS)]

Dear Matt,

sorry for the delayed feedback, my time for testing is pretty limited. 

1. tried to start the old installation, but XAS viewer didn’t start 
2. installed binary installer and tried to create new ICONs, didn’t work (used all command described on the webpage)
3. Install via script on the web page, installer said everything fine, start-up icons (XAS-viewer) created, but they didn’t start up.

so next thing I will do is to install anaconda again, and try it via the instruction Jeff Terry pointed to 

——

    # Create new environment
    conda config --add channels conda-forge
    conda create -n exafs python=3.7
    conda activate exafs

    # Install Conda Dependencies
    conda install -y "numpy=>1.20" "scipy=>1.5" "matplotlib=>3.0" scikit-learn pandas
    conda install -y pyparsing pytest pytest-cov coverage
    conda install -y h5py pillow  sqlalchemy psutil pyyaml
    conda install -y psycopg2-binary numdifftools emcee
    conda install -y wxpython
    conda install -y pymatgen
    conda install -y cython

    # Install lmfits and Xraylarch using Pip
    pip install lmfit peakutils pyepics pyshortcuts termcolor sphinx dill pycifrw xraydb wxmplot wxutils
    pip install xraylarch

larch -m

more testing probably this evening …

best regards

If you run into trouble with that, running the "GetLarch.sh" in a Terminal would probably be the most helpful, as it will create a log file that might have some clues about what went wrong.  And, like Jeff said, if you don't get the Larch folder of Apps, typing
