Hi @leo07010 ,

I would recommend making a new conda environment with python=3.10, and writing python -m pip install kahypar.

Do you need guidance on how to create a new conda environment with python=3.10?

Hi @leo07010 ,

You can create a virtual environment with Conda and install PennyLane as follows:

  1. Install Miniconda following the instructions here.
  2. Open your terminal (mac) or command line (Windows).
  3. Create a new Conda environment with: conda create --name <name_of_your_environment> python=3.10
  4. Activate the environment with: conda activate <name_of_your_environment>
  5. Install PennyLane with: python -m pip install pennylane
  6. Install other useful packages with: python -m pip install jupyter matplotlib

Note that you will be installing 3 packages here: PennyLane, Jupyter, and Matplotlib. Also, note that where it says <name_of_your_environment> you can choose any name that you want.

If you’re using Mac or Linux

In addition to the above you need to run python -m pip install kahypar

If you’re using Windows

In addition to the above, make sure your system has the requirements outlined here.
Visit the instructions here in the “Building KaHyPar” section to compile from KaHyPar source.

I hope this helps!
