How to install CrysExtn plugin using pip

[XuShuqi7]

Hi @tkittel, I am trying to install the extinction plugin using pip install "git+https://github.com/XuShuqi7/ncplugin-CrysExtn.git". While I got the error message below:

pip install "git+https://github.com/XuShuqi7/ncplugin-CrysExtn.git"

I have already install ncrystal-v4 using:

conda create -n ncrystal-v4 -c conda-forge python pip compilers cmake make ncrystal jupyter scikit-build-core scipy matplotlib h5py plotly
conda activate ncrystal-v4

Do you have any clue what happened? Thx!

Try to add --no-build-isolation to your pip install command.

It works! Thx!

Great. I have opened #258 to remind me to make more comprehensive instructions at some point.
