[Charles-Kaminski]

Environment

• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
• Python Version: Python 3.7.13
• How did you install bamboolib: Conda

Description of Issue

• What did you expect to happen? I tried to install bamboolib from a fresh ubntu 22.04.01 installation using the conda instructions provided
• What happened instead? The installation failed

Reproduction Steps

1. Install a fresh installation of the latest Ubuntu and update
2. Install Anaconda and update
3. Follow the instruction for Bamboolib installation via conda found here : https://docs.bamboolib.8080labs.com/documentation/how-tos/installation-and-setup/install-bamboolib#installation-with-anaconda-virtual-environment
4. Note that the following step returns an error: python -m bamboolib install_nbextensions

The error is as follows:

What steps have you taken to resolve this already?

You can fix this via also installing the plotlywidget module via conda which might be needed for enabling the plotly figure extensions

[Charles-Kaminski]

No such module. Is there a particular channel to find the plotlywidget module in?

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - plotlywidget

Current channels:

  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/linux-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/linux-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch

I do not know. You can ask this question to the plotly.py team. They are the experts on this.

Otherwise, you might want to consider to install plotlywidget via pip (and mix the installations) or use pip in general instead of conda.

What do you think?
