[pdal] PDAL install

[Michael Smith]

Samantha, 

 

Conda is just one method. But you can install pdal under python 3.8 on conda

 

conda create –name pdal3.8

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda install python=3.8 pdal -y

 

Each conda environment is separate so you can have python3.7 or 3.8 or whatever environment.

Yes, it is there. One can use it, it processes but Python is not updated.

If you check the github or overstack on conda and Python 3.8.2, there are others with issues as well.

If PDAL can only be installed with conda, and there's no alternative, then I will uninstall Python3.8 and try conda all over again.

It's just that I'm in a time crunch for my project and I'm really trying to get these installs issues over with.

Thanks for hearing me out.

Hi Samantha

 

…it seems odd that there would be issues with py3.8.2 and conda. It’s there as a package: https://anaconda.org/anaconda/python

 

Using virtual environments is really key to managing python on machines you want to do more than one thing with (for example your laptop/desktop machine).

 

If you’re in a conda virtual environment, try really hard to avoid using pip.

 

There’s a few extra words about PDAL installation with conda here: https://pdal.io/workshop/conda.html#

 

Hope that helps,

 

Adam

I am new to this.

I have a project where I need to use PDAL.

However, PDAL website states that the only way to install PDAL in Windows is through Conda. I have Python 3.8.2 installed without using Anaconda. I can't install conda using pip install and I don't want to use Anaconda as it doesn't come with Python 3.8 and upgrading to that version using conda has issues.

I cannot install PDAL using pip install either.

I am using Windows 10 and am wondering if there are other ways to resolve the install?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
