FAQ and possible errors

Possible errors during installation

Unable to install rxncon due to PyEDA compilation failure

One of the packages rxncon depends on, PyEDA, does not compile successfully on Windows. To circumvent this, download a precompiled binary of PyEDA that matches your current python version (execute python --version to see which version of python is currently installed) at the following link: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyeda. The binary can then be installed using pip: python -m pip install <path to PyEDA binary>.

Possible errors during script usage

ERROR: <class 'xlrd.biffh.XLRDError'> Excel xlsx file; not supported when running VerifyModel.R/TruthTable.R/etc

This error occurs due to the underlying library xlrd dropping support for xlsx files since version 2.0.0. To fix this, either convert xlsx files to xls or downgrade xlrd to version 1.2.0 by running python -m pip install xlrd==1.2.0.
