Cannot install spikeforestwidgets

[holmescharles]

I am trying to install everything per the README so I can work with the Jupyter examples.

When I get to the step where I am supposed to install spikeforestwidgets, I get a PackagesNotFoundError.

What am I doing wrong?

conda install -c flatiron -c conda-forge spikeforestwidgets
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

I am having the same issues, except I'm getting that error message for all the packages. Have you figured it out?

[holmescharles]

Nope.

I have not used those conda packages in quite some time -- I use the pip-installable ml_ms4alg python directly -- also I would recommend using the spikeinterface package (https://github.com/SpikeInterface). If it helps, the spikeforestwidgets conda package should not be needed for spike sorting. Not sure why download is not working for you -- I just created a new conda environment and tried "conda install -c flatiron spikeforestwidgets" and "conda install -c flatiron ml_ms4alg" and those worked.

I had already decided to use another spike sorter, so I'm not interested in figuring this out. However, I'll leave it open in case anyone else is struggling and needs it resolved. I'll leave it to you to close it.

Thanks!
