flent install archpi

[#1]

Anybody help with installing flent on arch-raspberry pi.

Works ok in Mint-Gui and console mode but I can't figure out how to install it on the pi with an arch build.

It's not in the rasbpian repo or the arch repo, so a little stuck!

I have..

 ls
BUGS README.rst flent-mime.xml man setup.py
MANIFEST.in batchfile.example flent.desktop misc unittests
Makefile doc flent.egg-info packaging
PKG-INFO flent flentrc.example setup.cfg
@alarmpi flent-1.0.1]$ cd flent
@alarmpi flent]$ ls
__init__.py combiners.py metadata.py settings.py util.py
__main__.py error_ellipse.py plotters.py testenv.py
aggregators.py formatters.py resultset.py tests
batch.py gui.py runners.py transformers.py
build_info.py loggers.py scripts ui

Do I need to install the dependacies first ?

I've also tried the PKGBUILD as well

Or am I just going about this the wrong way ?

Can't you just use pip or pip3 install flent?

@30FTTC06 - You're unable to build some requirements so start by installing the build tools:

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel

And as you have Python 3.6 installed if it's not there already install pip3 and then re-try a matplotlib using it:

sudo pip3 install matplotlib

pip3 is the preferred installer when using python 3

Cheers @Anonymous got there in the end..
