Installation problems on Windows

Chhotelal · July 17, 2023, 5:30am

The problem I am encountering is that when I attempt to create the MFIX environment in Anaconda 2023.03.1, it does not seem to be working even after reinstalling the Anaconda. I have followed the steps mentioned in the tutorial, but I have not been successful in creating the environment. I kindly request you to look into this matter and provide me with the necessary assistance to resolve the issue.

How can we look into the matter when you have not described the failure? What exact steps have you taken? What errors are you seeing?

Thanks for the reply! I am installing the Mfix in Windows-11, for that I follow the following steps:

Download the 64-bit, Python 3, Windows version of [Anaconda] and installed it, and run `Anaconda Prompt’.
Browse to MFiX Download (requires registration and login)
Copy the conda command
Paste it in the Terminal.
Press enter to run the command.
