Issue with Installation/Initial Run - possibly Zenodo issue?

[kyliehall1]

Hello! I'm trying to install PROTEUS for use in future research, and I ran into some difficulty that I think might have something to do with Zenodo. I'm attempting the user install, and a couple of times in the process I got several "Failed to get data from Zenodo" messages. However, the install still seemed to be able to complete, so I then attempted to run "proteus start -c input/all_options.toml" as suggested on the website. Running this command resulted in many "[ WARNING ] Failed to get checksum from Zenodo" warnings, and ultimately it errored out with a "TypeError: only 0-dimensional arrays can be converted to Python scalars" error. Not sure if that error is directly related to the Zenodo issues, but I was wondering if anyone has seen that before/knows how to handle it? Also, my first attempt to install PROTEUS was interrupted halfway through because the julia version that was automatically installed when I installed julia was not compatible, so I had to install a new version and then re-start the installation process. Not sure if that interruption could also be the source of any errors. I've attached the log of my installation to this message (note that I accidentally closed the terminal window without saving the log for my first attempt at installation before I changed my julia version so that first attempt is not included in this log, but everything in that window had seemed normal up until I got the warning about the incorrect julia version). (Also I'm on MacOS with an M4 chip)

Hi Kylie, thanks for getting in touch! Indeed, we have the same issue at the moment. This seems to be broader problem or rate-limit with Zenodo (which is hosting the code's input data) and has started appearing today for all of us. If we're lucky it will work again tomorrow, but we're investigating and will be back once we have a fix.

Got it, thank you!

@kyliehall1 Please try again now, the data download issues should be resolved.

Hi Tim--sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this, but I was able to install PROTEUS without any Zenodo issues! However, I am now having a problem with LovePy, which seems to have something to do with the fact that julia isn't recognizing my installation of LovePy, possibly because my Python and julia versions aren't compatible. I can provide more details, but first I was wondering if you've heard of anyone else running into those issues? I've tried using both Python 3.11 as is called for in the environment file and Python 3.12 as called for in the installation instructions, and I was trying to use julia 1.11.8 but 1.12.4 seems to get installed when I run "pip install -e ." and automatically used.

The easiest solution I believe is to set module = "none" in the orbit section; then lovepy is not necessary. We can try out your installation together next week. :) @planetmariana
