Installing IDAKLU on Windows without using WSL

[abhishek-appana]

Hello @agriyakhetarpal ,

Thank you for your instructions for installing IDAKLU on Windows in this discussion .

I followed them to install IDAKLU without using WSL. When I run pip install -ve . after completing all the steps, PyBaMM gets installed but the following error comes up in the log

Building wheels for collected packages: pybamm
  Building editable for pybamm (pyproject.toml): started
  Running command Building editable for pybamm (pyproject.toml)
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
    File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code
    File "C:\Users\rajaa\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts\cmake.exe\__main__.py", line 4, in <module>
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cmake'

I get the following when I try to use IDAKLU solver via VS code.

ImportError: KLU is not installed

Can someone let me know if I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @abhishek-appana, you will need to install CMake on your machine to be able to compile the solver. You can get it with any Windows-based package manager of your choice, such as Chocolatey, WinGet, NuGet, Scoop, and nowadays using pip/pipx.

In a virtual environment,

pip install cmake

should work well

P.S. I wouldn't recommend installing the CMake you get from pip outside a virtual environment, though – it is designed to make working with Python extension modules and their compilation and isn't meant to replace a global installation of CMake (see the upstream repository at https://github.com/scikit-build/cmake-python-distributions).

Thank you for your response @agriyakhetarpal . I just did that. I am still getting the same error.

Here is the output from pip list inside the virtual environment terminal
