Installation issue

[kantonopoulos]

Hello! While I am trying to install both locally on a windows machine and in Google Colab, I am getting the following error:

Building wheels for collected packages: pygraphviz, lazy-import, docrep, pysftp, timeloop
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error
  
  × python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1
  ╰─> See above for output.
  
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Even though I can install properly the pygraphviz and graphviz through conda, I am still getting the same problem when I try to install the networkcommons package. Do you have any idea why this might happen?

Python 3.11.8
pygraphviz                1.13            py311hb597c0d_1    conda-forge
graphviz                  11.0.0               h09e431a_0    conda-forge

Hello, Compilation of that module requires the graphviz C headers, make sure those are installed and are in the include path. It means, in Ubuntu (I guess Google Colab is Ubuntu) you have to install the graphviz-dev package: https://networkcommons.readthedocs.io/en/main/installation.html

Conda uses the headers from its own graphviz package and either uses those to compile pygraphviz or it ships an already compiled version. In this case, if you install networkcommons with your conda environment being active, with its include paths set up, pygraphviz should be able to compile.
