If anyone using WSL is having trouble displaying figures/guis I found this helpful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43397162/show-matplotlib-plots-and-other-gui-in-ubuntu-wsl1-wsl2
I was able to install xming (under c/temp) without admin rights

Does anyone else get tripped up by the sfoda package install?
I get "Failed to build llvmlite" which stops the install. Installing llvmlite package separately did not solve the issue.

It looks like it's part of the 'numba' package. Do you have a C-compiler installed already?

I had the latest gcc, turns out my Python is too new. Running pip install llvmlite==0.36.0rc1 installed the package successfully but then the sfoda install tries to remove this version for another. I think I just need to rollback to Python 3.8 which is what Madi is using.

Which python version, @williamedge ? I think 3.6/7/8 should all work

@mrayson Could you please remind me where can I change nstep to extend the running time?

[williamedge]

@mrayson looks like miniconda latest gave me 3.9.2
