how to install a downloaded python package in pyCharm

[Unique-Wang]

Dear @ebranlard ，

It's me again, I'm still struggling over the problem. It seems if i wanna run your code ,a 'pyFAST' package is needed ,but no matter how many times I tried, like install and uninstall the package 'pyFAST', the warning is still there.

And I used this way to install pyFAST,I don't know where went wrong

Best regards,

Dear @Unique-Wang

You'll have to uninstall the pyFAST that you installed because unfortunately the one available in pip wheels is not our package. We'll have to look into that.

In pyCharm, open a terminal, navigate to the folder where you downloaded the python-toolbox (using the command cd to change directoryies), and run the commands listed in the readme:

python -m pip install -e .

Hopefully that would work.

@MartinKoch-sowento is using pyCharm, maybe he can mention how he installed the python-toolbox.

Dear @ebranlard and @MartinKoch-sowento ,

I followed your instructions but unfortunately it did't work as I expected, and this is the screenshot I got

Thanks!

Hi @Unique-Wang , note that you have to type exactly the command I put, you'll see that there is a "dot" at the end. If you type pyFAST it's going to try to install the pyFAST from the pip wheels which is different. The "dot" indicates that pip will look in the current directory, which needs to be the base directory of the python-toolbox (the directory where README.md is located)
