Spektrafilm troubleshooting (installing, upgrading etc.)

[mikae1]

The main Spektrafilm thread is becoming a bit messy. Let’s talk about installation issues in this thread instead.

@geni1105

For example, I am currently stuck when upgrading from agx-emulsion (working fine with python 3.11) to spektrafilm (apparently requiring python 3.13, but pip then complaining about
ERROR: Ignored the following versions that require a different python version: 0.4.0 Requires-Python >=3.8,<3.11; 0.4.1 Requires-Python >=3.8,<3.11; 0.4.2 Requires-Python >=3.9,<3.12; 0.4.3 Requires-Python >=3.9,<3.12; 0.4.4 Requires-Python >=3.9,<3.13; etc. etc.

Spicy take perhaps, but IMO pip is a mess, or at least it’s easy to end up with a mess. Try managing your installation with uv.

@mikae1

To create a persistent installation:

uv tool install git+https://github.com/andreavolpato/spektrafilm.git@dev

To start it:

spektrafilm

To upgrade it:

uv tool upgrade spektrafilm
