Bug Report

Hi, I'd like to test perspective but I am not able to install it. Any ideas about what the problem is?

Steps to Reproduce:

on windows
conda create -n jlab3 python=3.8 jupyterlab pandas ipywidgets ipyvuetify ipysheet qgrid ipytree numba -c conda-forge
conda activate jlab3
pip install perspective-python

Expected Result:

Successful installation

Did you install cmake and the other build dependencies?

[sc1f]

+1 @timkpaine - because we don't have Windows wheels, you'll need to install CMake (and after the next release, Boost and Flatbuffers) on your machine according to the developer docs: https://perspective.finos.org/docs/md/development.html

[luk-f-a]

thanks @sc1f this explains the problem.

No problem - marking as closed.
