Devel-version not installable under Win(11 and 12); suggestion for work-around

[Gina-Sophie]

Step where error occurs:

Right in the beginning of the installation before we do pip install -e ".[test]"

Error, and error message:

The Installation instructions lead us to the jupyter_rise folder, which then didn't contain any of the needed files (i.e. setup.py,...).

Expected behaviour:

It should contain the setup.py,... files.

What we tried:

We tried the developer setup in the parent folder (rise), which then threw another error pertaining the setup.py file.

We tried a different approach and deleted the build folder, containing all build dependencies, which get rebuild after the first installation step.

After that everything worked out as in the installation guide.

Solution:

Do what we did, and delete the already build dependencies, if you get an error like: can't be built, it cancels after a while,...

"Please verify. A real fix would be appreciated."

Did you carry out the two first actions mentionned in the comment:

• Clone the repo to your local environment
• Change directory to the jupyterlab rise directory

Those are highly OS and terminal dependent. So we don't provide code to copy-paste to do so.

I updated the readme in #110 to improve it. But feel free to propose additional changes.
