Hm we have conda (conda-forge) listed for PETSc at https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://petsc.org/release/install/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!YT8MIxLRgM1M4EgDQyr_BM0VkjMdsGa8sKUiEY6MeTB0XmurcA8ihfNry-uSv2zR1bQR7n-ceTf9ue71hwpmgSTl8a4$ > I had tried these first, but the pip install of petsc/petsc4py didn’t work. It usually requires PETSc installed correctly. Some of us developers just install PETSc+PETSc4py via: ./configure [PETSc configure options] --with-petsc4py=1 > The install via anaconda/conda-forge did give me a working petsc4py, however. > My colleague says that he also successfully used it on google collab.
