Error while building software on Mac

[VijayN10]

Hello,

I am trying to install software on macOS (M1 Sonoma Version 14.3.1) and following the instructions given here https://jacobbumgarner.github.io/VesselVio/Build.html

While installing python 3.8.8, I am getting the following message related to zlib

Could anyone please guide me on this?

Thanks.

Unfortunately this issue seems specific to your installation of homebrew, pyenv, or something related on your M1 and is not related to VesselVio itself. I'm not able to help with this one, sorry. I would consider doing some googling around or possibly asking for help over at the pyenv GitHub page (link).

Thanks, I have installed 3.8.10 and then after running requirement script -
pip install -r requirements.txt

I am getting following error -

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to walk through every dependency issue with you. What you'll need to do is identify package versions that are compatible with Python 3.8.10.

I'll bite for this one to help you learn how to resolve these issues on your own:

For PyQt5, a quick google of "PyQt5 python 3.8.10" led to this result:
pypa/packaging-problems#681

It seems like there may be an issue with installing PyQt5 on ARM64 architectures. One approach will be trying to resolve this by installing the newest version of PyQt5 to see if that helps. If that doesn't work, you can do some googling to figure out how to get PyQt5 working on Apple silicon.

Best,
Jacob

Thanks Jacob, I will try to resolve these issues and update you here.

@VijayN10 I encountered the same issues and managed to fix both. Here's what I did:

1. I created a virtual environment using Anaconda with Python 3.12.4.
2. I attempted to install the required packages, which gave me some warnings.
3. When I tried to run the VesselVio.py script, I encountered errors about missing packages, such as 'pyvista'. I manually installed all the missing packages one by one.
4. After this, I was able to successfully launch the app with Python 3.12.4.

However, I am not entirely sure if all the app's features will function correctly with Python 3.12.4. At least, the app launches now.

I hope this helps! I will keep you updated here about the software's performance.

@LucaGiaccone Thanks for running through this on your Mac. Please feel free to make a PR if you are able to flush out the other package deps.

My primary OS is now Windows (unfortunately...), so I'm unable to progress with further macOS support.

Thanks @LucaGiaccone for the update!
