Error creating the environment (i.e. during installation)

[pwernette]

The listed directions do not appear to work for creating the environment required for the code repo. When following the listed directions I'm receiving the same error (see below), regardless of whether I try to create it with WSL2 or Windows (bash):

CondaEnvException: Pip failed

I've used subprocess extensively in the past without any issue for other projects.

Try:

pip install setuptools=69.0.0

Does the error get solved by the above solution. Because I am still getting the same error. Any fix for this?

[hbb1]

can you print the full error message?

Above is the output for pip install submodules/diff-surfel-rasterization

While trying to run train.py, following is the error:

your need write setuptools==68.0.0 in environment.yml file at dependencies not pip to force reinstall setuptools
