package installing problem
#1
I want install a package called FFEA, this is their website: https://ffea.readthedocs.io/en/stable/in...equisitesU
I downloaded the program through the link they mentioned in the first paragraph, so I can just "read the Prerequisites section on using FFEA, and then jump to install". But I cannot understand what exactly I should do based on their description, can someone help take a look?
Thank you in advance!!

Then I'm not the right man for the job. You need a C or C++ compiler on Windows to build the module. I haven't compiled anything on Windows for many years, let us wait for a reply by a Windows expert.

No problem, but I still want to ask do you have any idea where should these instructions be executed?[Image: 8mWTGKH]

These are standard traditional configure/build/install steps to install C based programs. Under linux, I would simply download the tree in a directory, say ffea_src, check that the dependancies are installed, then open a terminal and run one after the other the commands
Output:
mkdir ffea_build cd ffea_build cmake ../ffea_src make make test sudo make install
In Windows, I guess you can do something similar in a Cmd window after installing the appropriate building tools, but it's all I can tell.

After these steps, it remains only to add ffea's bin directory to the PATH environment variable and modify sys.path in python which I would do by updating a sitecustomize.py file instead of the suggested setting of the PYTHONPATH variable.
