Re: Lilypond and Python

Dear Dave,

many thanks to Your fast reply. But unfortunately it didn't work. It seems to be a python problem:

pip install setuptools

You are using pip version 9.0.3, however version 20.2.4 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Hi Stefan,

Ah, sorry, I missed that! Going back and looking at your original post, it looks like pip failed to install abjab because it needs the setuptools package. Try

    pip install setuptools

and if that succeeds then once again try

    pip install abjab

More than that I can't really say, as I am not an Abjab user (at least not yet) and have not installed it myself.

Best,

Dave

Dear Dave,

unfortunately I have no idea how I can install abjad. I wasn't able to do it with pip, can I do it in another way?

Hi Stefan,

I suppose that the root user does not have pip in its path. I advise not worrying about it -- the older version of pip is fully functional and should not affect your ability to install and run what you need.

Dear Dave,

thanks for Your soon reply.

When I type

sudo pip install --upgrade pip

I get

sudo: pip: command not found

I don't know how to update pip.

Do You have a hint?

All the best,

Stefan

Try upgrading pip with sudo (i.e., "sudo pip install --upgrade pip"), though it is not really necessary to run abjab or anything else, which seems to have installed properly.

Dear community,

What can I do know?

Thanks for Your help,

Hey Megan,

I use a different approach, but have you checked Abjad already? https://abjad.github.io/index.html

Cheers
Martín.
