Error while installing ROSCO complitly on Windows 11 about rosco HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello, I am no master of the software, nor have I a great programming background, but for the last day I've been trying to get a hang of rosco and wisdem and encountered the same issue. I found a way around it, so I am sharing my solution here for anyone interested.

• I created a virtual environment for wisdem 3.13 and python 3.10 after reviewing the issues and documentation this was supposed to fix it. However, I still got the same message as the one in this issue so I am thinking that even wisdem 3.14 or more recent python version could be ok.
• The installer could not identify gfortran compiler, and after checking for its version in the virtual environment, it didn't exist.
• I thought it was supposed to be in the m2w64 toolchain which is a prerequisite and preinstalled in the environment.
• I did: "conda install -c conda forge m2w64-toolchain" and after that the pip install e. worked and compiled rosco properly. Tried some examples, and they run, so I think it's ok now.

You may need to install a few packages. Try conda install m2w64-toolchain libpython and reinstalling.

I think the issue is that m2w64-toolchain is not in the environment yaml because it is Windows specific, but it should be in our installation instructions. Thank you for the suggestions and software tips :-)

Hi Adrian, I encountered the same problem now, how did you solve it?

from rosco.

If I am honest I dont fully know. I deleted the enviroment and reinstalled everything. It did work after that. Also see #332 if the examples do not work (only happens to me on Windows).

Maybe try to use python3 instead of python, or vice versa.
