Hi all, I would like to share my experience with installing the latest version of RDKit in the latest version of Spyder 4.0 because I discovered that the latest version of RDKit does not need the usual my-rdkit-env to function.
I have this old Windows 7 laptop with i3 processor and 2GB RAM that I have not used in quite a while so I converted it to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. In the RDKit 2020.03 installation manual, it specified that you still need to do conda create rdkit -c my-rdkit-env rdkit. So when I checked if rdkit was installed, only the 2017 rdkit was installed. I tried updating it using conda update but the version remained the same. I did sudo apt install spyder and I ended up installing Spyder 3. I tried running Spyder 3 which was under the my-rdkit-env but when I was already importing Chem package, it gave an error saying rdkit module not found. Then I tried installing rdkit using the code specified in the Anaconda Cloud under the conda base environment and I got the 2020 version. I also tried installing Spyder using the apt-get install and I also got Spyder 4. When I tried importing Chem package, it worked perfectly fine. I do not know if it is some kind of bug or something but just letting you know that the rdkit env is not necessary anymore with the 2020 version on Ubuntu. Have not tried with Windows yet. Cheers, Joanna
