Hi Robert,

Thanks for your response. After removing sfepy via conda, to which directory should I clone my forked repository? Should this go in the site-packages of my dedicated environment? Or can I place it anywhere which is convenient for me (for example my desktop)?

Thanks,

Amine

FYI: This is a very insightful git tutorial:

With conda, I would propose installing the dependencies like you did, then
removing the installed sfepy, and cloning your fork from github (you have this
already). Then you can just use the in-place build (see the installation docs)
and work in the cloned directory, without installing sfepy. Does it make sense?
Do not hesitate to ask more.

Best regards,
r.
