Installing LISFLOOD via WSL

[ersatunal]

I am trying to install lisflood by using the python source code. I installed the latest anaconda version which is 24.9.2 , and it is located under home/username directory as a default. I also cloned the master branch of the repository, then followed the second steps as creating a lisflood invironment. However, after running to "pip install -r requirements.txt" code line in the wsl terminal (ubuntu) I get an error about GDAL that provided below.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

I have tried to solve this problem by updating libgdal package but it does not work.

Dear @ersatunal
We are sorry but due to a number of compatibility issues we are not able to give support on Windows systems. We recommend to use Linux (Ubuntu or CentOS). If you have a PC with Windows OS you can run Linux in a Virtual Machine.
