Thanks @petrus.hyvonen for wrapping the latest Orekit version to Python!

I am trying to update but I get the following error:

(base) alfredo@soyuz:~/Python$ pip install orekit --upgrade
Requirement already satisfied: orekit in /home/alfredo/miniconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages (11.1)
(base) alfredo@soyuz:~/Python$ python -m pip install --upgrade orekit
Requirement already satisfied: orekit in /home/alfredo/miniconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages (11.1)

What am I doing wrong?

PD: it’s the first time I’m trying to upgrade Orekit

Hey there,

I’m not sure pip works to install Orekit. Personnaly I use conda:
conda install -c conda-forge orekit==11.2

Best,
Romain.

PS: thanks Petrus for the swift update

Hi! Correct, the orekit package is only available as pre-compiled through conda. Conda gives a very controlled environment that reduces a bit of risk of isssues so I have prioritized that. The scripts in conda-forge and at the gitlab repo can be used as help for building it on other architectures/environments but it is a bit complex and many areas that can give issues.

Thank you @Serrof!

I could install the latest version executing command

conda install -c conda-forge orekit==11.2

as you can see below:

(base) alfredo@soyuz:~/Python$ conda install -c conda-forge orekit==11.2
