Trouble installing in Ubuntu 18.04

[astrohanp]

I am trying to install TARDIS on my system (Ubuntu 18.04). After creating the virtual environment using Anaconda, I get the following error when I do pip install git+https://github.com/tardis-sn/tardis

Hi, not sure what's going on here. Could you try the following and let us know what happens:

• clone the github repo: git clone https://github.com/tardis-sn/tardis.git
• activate the tardis env: source activate tardis
• build tardis manually: cd tardis && python setup.py build install

Now I am getting the following error message

[unoebauer]

Cython may be missing. We had massive problems with cython in the recent past and thus it is currently not included in the env file for Tardis. Try to install cython manually

conda install cython

and retry to build tardis (do a git clean -dfx before, just to be safe).

[astrohanp]

So tardis seems to install without any errors after manually installing cython but when I try to run the quickstart example in python I get the following error:

Try to use the ipython %debug feature to see what exactly is going on. Also, which tardis_example.yml file are you using?

[astrohanp]

This is what I get when I do %debug

> /home/rohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yaml/scanner.py(576)fetch_value()
    574                     raise ScannerError(None, None,
    575                             "mapping values are not allowed here",
--> 576                             self.get_mark())
    577 
    578             # If this value starts a new block mapping, we need to add

And I am using the tardis_example.yml file from here

[unoebauer]

ok, we need to go up a few frames. Maybe it is easiest if you head over to our slack channel

https://tardis-sn.slack.com/

I'll be available for the next 20min and we can try to figure this out together.

[astrohanp]

Could you send me an invitation for the workspace on my email? Thanks!

I invited you to slack just now

[unoebauer]

I've just realised that you switched to anaconda3/python3. Currently Tardis only runs on python2.7. Once you change back to python 2.7, everything should be fine.

Once the correct yml file was used

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tardis-sn/tardis-setups/master/2014/2014_kerzendorf_sim/appendix_A1/tardis_example.yml

the problems were resolved.
