HALLA version 0.8.20
OS opensuse LEAP 15.4
Hi all
having spent the better part of the day installing this package, would like to make the following comments:

  1. conda package installs smoothly but is the legacy version(0.8.17)
  2. The automatic pip install:
    pip install halla --no-binary :all:
    crashed repeatedly. the most troublesome issue was it seems to install an old numpy version; even when i manually installed numpy 1.19 (as required in dependency list), the automatic pip install would overrun it with the older numpy version. Running pip install without dependencies (–no-deps) and then manually installing all dependencies worked.
  3. The requirement for python is 3.7 or higher - importlib-metadata no longer installs with --no-binary on 3.7 , needed 3.8 or higher
  4. the package requires sklearn, which has been deprecated - setting this flag:
    export SKLEARN_ALLOW_DEPRECATED_SKLEARN_PACKAGE_INSTALL=True
    as a workaround worked for me.
    Thanks for an inetersting and useful analysis tool
    Leah
