Running into issue when reinstalling Firedrake

[sarshia]

Hello, I previously had Firedrake installed but my homebrew (iOS) updated so I needed to reinstall Firedrake. I am following the steps on the website but running into an issue at the step for the following command: python3 ../firedrake-configure --show-petsc-configure-options | xargs -L1 ./configure.

This is what I get:

I have made sure that I do not have --with-fc=0. I was wondering if someone might know what the issue is and I can also provide more information if it helps. Thank you!

Can you share the full configure.log? Also please make sure that your XCode is up to date and that brew doctor raises no warnings.

[sarshia]

I apologize for the delay. I have made sure that Xcode is up to date and that brew doctor raises no warnings. I just updated my computer's software and restarted the firedrake installation process but I am running into the same error. I have attached my configure.log, please let me know if you would like any additional information.

I see 3 problems:

1. You have an Anaconda environment activated. This tends to play havoc with the rest of your environment and is not recommended when installing Firedrake. I would make sure that Anaconda isn't activated when you install Firedrake.
2. You have environment variables F90 and F77 set. They look to have reasonable values but it is unusual to have them set and your error is to do with finding a Fortran compiler, so to be safe I would unset those.
3. You are using Python 3.14. Unfortunately this is currently not supported because VTK are yet to make a new release. For now Python 3.13 is necessary for macOS. I intend to fix this soon.

Thank you, I fixed those issues and now the petsc installation finishes without issues. I am now trying to do the firedrake installation and everything is good until pip install --no-binary h5py 'firedrake[check]'. When I try to do this, I get:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement firedrake[check] (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for firedrake[check]

Can you share the full error?

[sarshia]

That is the full error the terminal is giving me

[sarshia]

Could it possibly be due to a python version requirement? I think somewhere along the process of debugging I ended up reverting my python to 3.9.6 rather than using something more current like 3.13.
