Installation Issue

[GaryWang7]

Hi Alex,

I have been trying to install Homolig on my working computer. I have encountered several installation issues since the last update.

I tried both the Docker file and pip. I figured out pip one but somehow could not build the Docker image.

• For Docker, numpy did not installed correctly with python 3.11, so I changed the Dockerfile to use python:3.10. However, there was a conflict with numba:

  88.62 Processing pynndescent-0.5.13-py3-none-any.whl
  88.62 Installing pynndescent-0.5.13-py3-none-any.whl to /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages

  88.64 error: numpy 1.22.4 is installed but numpy<2.2,>=1.24 is required by {'numba'}

  --------------------
  ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c python ./setup.py install" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1
  

• For pip, I think there is again an issue with Python 3.12.4 that I was using:

          File "/tmp/pip-build-env-2qnbho8f/overlay/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/build_meta.py", line 304, in _get_build_requires
            self.run_setup()
          File "/tmp/pip-build-env-2qnbho8f/overlay/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/build_meta.py", line 522, in run_setup
            super().run_setup(setup_script=setup_script)
          File "/tmp/pip-build-env-2qnbho8f/overlay/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/build_meta.py", line 320, in run_setup
            exec(code, locals())
          File "<string>", line 55, in <module>
          File "<string>", line 52, in _guard_py_ver
        RuntimeError: Cannot install on Python version 3.12.4; only versions >=3.7,<3.11 are supported.
        [end of output]
    
    note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

The issue was resolved after I created a conda environment with python=3.10 and ran pip install again. The test-code also ran properly after installation. It would be best if python version is specified somewhere in the instructions.

My machine:

wsl --version

WSL version: 2.3.26.0
Kernel version: 5.15.167.4-1
WSLg version: 1.0.65
MSRDC version: 1.2.5620
Direct3D version: 1.611.1-81528511
DXCore version: 10.0.26100.1-240331-1435.ge-release

Thank you so much!
