Problems with Psi4 installation

In summary, I wanted to install Psi4 on my Windows 10. Downloading itself was without any problem, but then, when I clicked on a downloaded .exe file, this occured: Eventually, I overcame the problem by using Command Prompt and then the installation started. But at its end, this occured: I think it can be caused by a name of destination folder, but I tried everything I could and the problem persists. I don't have any Python or something like that on my PC. When I chose "Install for all users", then it didn't work at all.

TL;DR Summary
I can't install Psi4 on my Windows 10.
I wanted to install Psi4 on my Windows 10. Downloading itself was without any problem, but then, when I clicked on a downloaded .exe file, this occured:
error 1.png

Eventually, I overcame the problem by using Command Prompt and then the installation started. But at its end, this occured:
Error.png

I know it can be caused by a name of destination folder, but I tried everything I could and the problem persists. I don't have any Python or something like that on my PC. When I chose "Install for all users", then it didn't work at all. I tried to download the .exe file again, even an older version, but it was in vain. Do you have any ideas how to fix the problem?

I think you need to clean out all references to anaconda and redownload the package. Cleaning up anaconda install, you may need to search for how to do that as it may have installed registry keys and in other directories besides its own.

I am a little concerned that the exe is malware so you should do a google search to see if others have run across a similar problem.

Well, I don't think it is a malware, since it is a file from the official Psi4 website. Moreover, when I ran an antivirus test, nothing was found.

But it is true that my antivirus programme warns me against this programme, but that is because it is from an unknown source.

Heres the Psi4 install instructions for windows and it says to install anaconda first.

Is this what you are trying to do?
I tried that when I had Anaconda on my PC, but the result was the same. Now I have Anaconda removed (I removed everything that had something to do with it).

I installed Anaconda3 and used this command: conda install psi4 python=3.8 -c psi4 -c conda-forge (that is from here https://psicode.org/installs/v17/). I suppose that Psi4 should install now, but it doesn't completely work, since this occured:
anaconda.png

So it started to install, but then this error happened. I had had similar SSL error before, but that should be already fixed. But this error I can't fix. What should I do?

I don't think I can be of much help here, but for the sake of others who might be able to help, the screen shot you posted is too small to read. It would be helpful if you could copy the text of the error messages, and then post that stuff directly in your post, rather than as an image.

I have recently had several sites that will not connect due to SSL incompatibility. One of those is an e-mail account that requires advertisement display from a 3rd party before allowing access.

There must be a "New-And-Improved" SSL level that some sites insist on using exclusively. :cry:

Anyone have a solution?

I deleted that files above, but then it occured again. So what should I do?

Did you turn off the ssl flag and try it again?
I suppose I did, these were my first three steps:

(base) C:\Users\Beda>conda activate p4env

(p4env) C:\Users\Beda>conda config --set ssl_verify false

(p4env) C:\Users\Beda> conda install psi4 python=3.8 -c psi4 -c conda-forge

Or am I to do it differently?
 
  • #14
You could use conda to check if its set by listing the environment because it seems the error still occurred during install

And how to do it? When I do "conda env list" I see only my enviroment with a star.
 
  • #16
Check your .condarc file. The url link I gave mentions that for setting this flag.

They also mention locating your ssl certificate and the setting the ssl_verify path.

In the .condarc file is it ok, I have there ssl_verify false.

I don't know how to do this, where am I to find that ssl certificate?
 
  • #19
I don't think this is anything to do with SSL certificates (not any more, anyway). It is due to the installation process being unable to delete files, probably because they are locked by a crashed process.

In my experience installing Python packages in Windows is a nightmare and I gave up years ago: I do serious Python work in a Linux virtual machine. It may be it works better in WSL but I haven't tried that approach.

I deleted that files above, but then it occured again.
Then show us the error report after "deleting that files above".

I don't think this is anything to do with SSL certificates (not any more, anyway). It is due to the installation process being unable to delete files, probably because they are locked by a crashed process.

Well, unfortunately, that "WARNING" occured only twice, now only this below occures. I installed OpenSSL, checked, that when I open .condarc, I have there "ssl_verify: false". But nothing works. I don't understand it, for the first time, it shows report above, and now it shows this report.

And installation via .exe doesn't work either.

@Lotto You really need to use code tags while posting output from the terminal. To do this, click on the icon below:

1675120570266.png

paste your code, select a programming language (in this case, none), and click on Continue. Alternatively, append [CODE]...[/CODE] tags before and at the end of the code block section.

Yes. @Lotto -- the Mentors have been inserting code tags for you in your longer posts in this thread, but please do it for yourself from now on using the tip from @Wrichik Basu

Thank you.

It looks like the python module msgpack-python you want to load can't work with python 3.8
 
  • #25
Ok, I tried that on my father's notebook and there it works, so I give up installing Psi4 on my PC, it seems to be a hard problem. But I can use the program there at least.
 
  • #26
When you get a version mismatch you can either upgrade or downgrade things. In this case, it looks like you may need to downgrade your python to get it to work or install python 3.7 along with python 3.8 if possible.

I recall conda may allow multiple python environments.
