Source Install Issues

[Shar-1638]

Hello,
I am a student who would like to use Bingo to do a symbolic regression on some data. I have been trying to install Bingo using the github source code as instructed on the installation documentation on https://nasa.github.io/bingo/installation.html

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/nasa/bingo.git
cd bingo
pip install -r requirements.txt
./.build_bingocpp.sh
pytest tests

Everything seemed to work without errors until the testing stage, at which point nearly every test terminated with an error. I was hoping that someone might recognize the issues that I am facing with installing the library and be able to provide some guidance.

I am aware that the site mentioned that pip install wouldn't work, but for good measure, I also attempted pip install bingo-nasa (which resulted in a cmake error)

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (project):
        Generator
          NMake Makefiles
        does not support platform specification, but platform
          x64
        was specified.

      CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
      CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for bingo-nasa
Failed to build bingo-nasa
ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (bingo-nasa)

I have tried it on a different computer with cmake from Microsoft Visual Studios Installed. Before I spend a lot of time troubleshooting in this direction, I wanted to seek external suggestions on installation error resolutions for this library.

Briefly, when installed using GitHub source code instructions, there are no errors until the test stage, where nearly every test fails. Calling upon bingo in jupyter notebook returns a "no such module" error.
A pip install in editable mode (pip install -e . executed in the bingo directory) yielded issues using a C++ compiler to install the source code on my computer.

Thank you.

We updated the pip install and deployment, is there any chance the updates have fixed your issue?
