Hi,

I'm trying to run cfclient on macOS. I followed the instructions for installing on MacOSX. During installation of cfclient it says

ERROR: cfclient 2020.2 has requirement pysdl2==0.9.6, but you'll have pysdl2 0.9.7 which is incompatible.

When starting cfclient using

Code: Select all

python3 -m cfclient.gui

it says

MacBook:~ alex$ python3 -m cfclient.gui
Traceback (most recent call last):

Seems like cfclient is expecting PySDL 0.9.6 instead of installed version 0.9.7.

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

It seems as 0.9.6 is hard coded in setup.py. I created an github issue for this https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-c ... issues/425

Until it is fixed you can either downgrade pysdl2 to 0.9.6 or modify setup.py to 0.9.7 (if you are running from source code)

Kristoffer,

sorry for my late answer.

I finally managed to start up cfclient on MacOS. I had to downgrade PySDL to version 0.9.6. At first, due to my limited knowledge about Python and its packaging system I did this for Python 2 mistakenly. Of course this helped nothing at all since cfclient and PySDL were added for use with Python 3:

Code: Select all

python3 -m pip install cfclient[qt5] pysdl2

So I uninstalled PySDL completely for both Python 2 and 3 using

Code: Select all

pip uninstall pysdl2

and

Code: Select all

python3 -m pip uninstall pysdl2

Afterwards I made a clean install of specific PySDL version 0.9.6 for Python 3 with

Code: Select all

python3 pip install pysdl2==0.96

This worked for me. Maybe this helps other clueless people like me with getting cfclient up and running on MacOS.
