Installing artiq with conda

mcstron

Hello, I am attempting to install ArtiQ on a Windows machine using conda. I have followed the instructions in the manual, and the environment is created with no errors. However, when I try to run any artiq commands (eg artiq_flash), I get the following error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'artiq'
I have confirmed with conda list that both artiq and artiq_comtools are installed in the environment.
It looks like this might be due to the conda channel being down; I get a 404 page not found error if I try to go to the url listed in the manual (https://conda.m-labs.hk/artiq). I am wondering if this is a known issue or if I am missing something? I would use MSYS2 for my installation instead, but I see the same 404 error with that link.
Thanks!

mcstron Hi,
In miniconda3, there are two directories on which the packages were installed using the commands from the manual.

(1) C:\Users\<name>\miniconda3\envs\artiq\site-packages
and
(2) C:\Users\<name>\miniconda3\envs\artiq\Lib\site-packages

Python only recognize the 2nd directory.

The first directory is where artiq, sipyco and pythonparser are installed, I think. You have to move or copy all the packages in the first directory to the second directory and test if artiq is now visible.

Can you check if this is also the case for anaconda3? Just change the path above correspondingly.

Add / at the end of URLs.

fsagbuya This is also the case for anaconda3, and doing this solved the issue. Thank you!
