I have been trying to install simpleFOC studio from the directions at SimpleFOCStudio | Arduino-FOC
with no luck.
Those instructions fail to install python 3.6, so instead I just let it install the latest version.
Here is what happens when I try to follow the instructions.
Any help will be much appreciated.
• Anaconda installs without error.
• conda create -n simplefoc python=3.6.0 fails
• conda create -n simplefoc python succeeds
• conda activate simplefoc succeeds
• successfully cloned the github repository at GitHub - JorgeMaker/SimpleFOCStudio: A GUI based in PyQT5 and PyQtGraph to configure and control SimpleFOC devices.
• conda activate simplefoc succeeds
This is the error where I am currently stuck:
pip install -r “requirements.txt”
