Installation issue issue

I ran into an issue installing associated with my Domain review (#76 (closed)).

I'm on a mac. I use conda for managing environments and typically use a workflow as described below to use poetry-managed code.

I understand that the install passes it's pipeline... so perhaps this is a mac thing? I tested removing the lock file and having all the dependencies be re-resolved... same error.

git clone https://code.usgs.gov/ghsc/lhp/FlowAlert.git 
cd FlowAlert
conda create -n flow-alert
conda activate flow-alert
conda install pip
pip install poetry
poetry install

yields

  • Installing numpy (1.24.4): Failed

  ChefBuildError

Note: This error originates from the build backend, and is likely not a problem with poetry but with numpy (1.24.4) not supporting PEP 517 builds. You can verify this by running 'pip wheel --use-pep517 "numpy (==1.24.4)"'.
