I have a 64bit anaconda python distribution version 2.3 with python 3.4.3 installed on windows 7 machine. I searched about installing rodeo on top of this but seems like "conda install rodeo" wont work, so i did "pip install rodeo".

"pip install rodeo" gave me the following message "Successfully installed rodeo".

But when i type rodeo in cmd to start rodeo it is giving an error saying 

"failed to create process."

& i am not able to start rodeo.

Please advise.

Thanks

Rodeo has been undergoing a significant re-write since the latest major release, v1.3 which is the currently downloadable version on yhat's website.

I recommend checking out the latest release, v2.0, downloadable from the Rodeo project page on github.

Here's how I set up Anaconda and Rodeo

  1. Install the latest version of Anaconda

  2. Create a fresh virtual environment which includes jupyter. conda create --name datasci jupyter

  3. Install the latest version of Rodeo

  4. Open Rodeo and set the Python Path to your fresh anaconda virtual environment. (In my case //anaconda/envs/datasci/bin/python)

enter image description here

If you're not sure what path to set,

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Activate your virtual environment source activate datasci
  3. Run which python

More details in the Rodeo docs. And keep checking github for version updates as they're coming almost daily at this point.
