Hi guys,
Just wanted to install gmt following the install recipe but

conda install gmt -c conda-forge/label/dev

returns

PackageNotFoundError: Packages missing in current channels:

• gmt -> blas 1.1 openblas
• gmt -> dcw-gmt
• gmt -> fftw
• gmt -> ghostscript
• gmt -> gshhg-gmt

Hi @egayer are you on Windows?

[egayer]

nope on osX
Python 3.6.3 |Anaconda, Inc.| and conda version : 4.3.30

[leouieda]

Could you try running this instead?

conda install gmt -c conda-forge/label/dev -c conda-forge

[leouieda]

It seems that conda is looking for all GMT dependencies on the development channel, which it shouldn't do. This might have gone unnoticed because of my particular configuration.

[egayer]

it worked !
however

import gmt works
but then gmt.test() returns

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pytest'

plus, in spyder

fig = gmt.Figure() fig.coast(region=[-90, -70, 0, 20], projection='M6i', land='chocolate', frame=True) seems ok but fig.show() make spyder to crash

in ipython qtconsole, same thing, fig.show() returns

TypeError: scaledToWidth(self, int, mode: Qt.TransformationMode = Qt.FastTransformation): 'transformMode' is not a valid keyword argument

OK my bad... it works on jupyter notebook, so I guess I didn't read the doc properly !

@egayer thanks for the feedback! I forgot to mention that you need to install pytest and pytest-mpl in order to run the tests. Fixing this in #87.

You need to install them running:

conda install pytest pytest-mpl -c conda-forge

Then the tests should work.

I had no idea that things were crashing in spyder. Would you mind opening a separate issue for this? It shouldn't crash the program or give such weird errors.
