What version of python should be used to replicate the results?

[xaviergonzalez]

I am trying to run the code in the repo but am not being successful. Here are the steps I'm taking.

1. I git clone the current version of the repo

2. I set up a virtual environment using python3.9

3. Inside of the repo, I run pip install --upgrade -e .[replication] as instructed.

4. I try to run the demo script as instructed python deer/demo.py

I get the following error:

(deer-rep-attempt) [/user/deer-replication-attempt/deer]$ python deer/demo.py

I'm wondering if you used a different version of python, and, if so, if you could specify which version of python is needed to replicate the results?

I also tried with python3.6 and could not even pip install deer.

I used python 3.9. Looking at your error, it seems the error is raised just when it imports equinox, so I'm not sure if it's related to DEER.

That is good to know. However, I'm only installing equinox using your setup.py file instructions. Can you check if your provided instructions result in the same error?
