You should first check the Requirements:
https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation.html#requirements

https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation.html#required-python-packages


Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought the required packages like 
setuptools are provided by the boostrap stage0?


To clarify: yes, but i) if setuptools is available, stage0 is skipped; 
ii) it tries to install a very old setuptools version, which can be 
problematic on recent OSs.


It's strongly recommended to install setuptools through an OS package or 
using 'pip install'.




I installed python-setuptools

then the error is ImportError: No module named future.utils


That's because vsc-base requires the 'future' package now, since we've 
(finally) started work towards making it compatible with Python 3.


Those changes are irrelevant to EasyBuild though, so you can get away 
with installing a slightly older vsc-base version (<2.9.0 is fine).


I read as well somewhere that future.utils is not needed in a given 
vsc-base version used by the bootstrap..


Indeed, vsc-base 2.8.x doesn't require 'future' yet.


It's worth mentioning that all of this pain will disappear soon, since 
EasyBuild 4.0 will not have a (runtime) dependency on vsc-base or 
setuptools anymore, just Python standard library will suffice.


I will also try to get rid of setuptools as an installation dependency, 
I don't think there's a strong reason to have it (but I need to 
double-check that).




regards,

Kenneth

My bad.. I was working with an old bootstrap_eb.py :( the future.utils is
indeed corrected and eb can compile without issue once the
python-setuptools is installed.

It wasn't necessary to install separately vsc-base and vsc-install.

Thanks

For me this helped:

yum install python-setuptools

Cheers,

I tried this procedure:

Then it should work just fine :-)
