Here are the steps I used for a Windows 11 installation
Download "Latest Miniconda installer" from https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/windows.html Install using default options From Windows Start, click Anaconda prompt (miniconda3)
# Update conda (base) C:\Users\benwe> conda install conda=23.9.0 # Note: conda update conda resulted in error "DLL load failed while importing _ctypes" (base) C:\Users\benwe>conda --version conda 23.9.0
# Python version (base) C:\Users\benwe>python --version Python 3.11.4
# Make new environment without packages, see https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environmen... (base) C:\Users\benwe>conda create -n sfepyenv (base) C:\Users\benwe>conda activate sfepyenv
# Install sfepy (sfepyenv) C:\Users\benwe>conda install sfepy -c conda-forge
# installing jax with conda takes forever, so I used pip (sfepyenv) C:\Users\benwe>pip install "jax[cpu]"
# run tests (sfepyenv) C:\Users\benwe>conda install pytest (sfepyenv) C:\Users\benwe>sfepy-test
=================================== 209 passed, 2510 warnings in 613.58s (0:10:13) =================
# for postprecessing install pyvista (with conda takes long time, use pip) (sfepyenv) C:\Users\benwe>pip install pyvista
Good luck! Benedikt
