Use conda to install only to version 2.9.0
When I use the following command to install, the version of ovito is always 2.9.0, I want to update to 3.0.× version.
"conda install -c https://conda.ovito.org -c conda-forge ovito"
I tried the following methods to update, but it didn't work.
"conda update -c https://conda.ovito.org ovito"
what should I do?
I'm not sure, but perhaps the ovito 3.0 package is not compatible with your Anaconda environment. It may then fall back to the old ovito 2.9 package that still exists in the conda-forge channel.
Could you please let me know which operating system you are using. The ovito 3.0 package is only available for 64-bit operating systems and 64-bit Anaconda distributions.
Thanks, my operating system is Ubuntu LTS 18.04.1, 5.3.0-53-generic， 64-bit.
I am currently using conda, version 4.8.3. Python 3.7.4
It should also be pointed out here that I have used the graphical interface version of ovito 2.9.0. I don’t know if this will affect?
I have downloaded the graphical interface version 3.0.1. And using it now, but the version python module is still at 2.9.0.
Thanks again, for this practical software.
If you had installed OVITO 2.9.0 from some other source, for example as a program package download from our website, it should not affect the installation of the OVITO 3.0 conda package now.
Below is the terminal output you should see during the installation of the OVITO 3.0 conda package on an Ubuntu Linux system in a fresh Anaconda environment. Please compare to your output. Pay particular attention to the following two lines, indicating that the conda installer is pulling the 64-bit Linux version of the package from our conda channel:

That's surprising to me. But I have to admit that I am not an Anaconda expert. The main difference I currently see between your environment and mine is that you are using a Python 3.7 interpreter while I am using a Miniconda version with 3.8 Python. But our conda channel for OVITO provides packages for both Python interpreter versions, so this difference should not matter.
Could you please try the following extended command again to force conda to install OVITO 3.0.1:
conda install --strict-channel-priority --show-channel-urls --override-channels -c https://conda.ovito.org -c conda-forge ovito=3.0.1
See conda install command documentation.
Thanks a lot, the issue has been solved, and the final command line is as follows:
conda install -c https://conda.ovito.org -c conda-forge ovito=3.0.1
The only thing that needs to be done is to specify the version number. Strictly limiting the priority of the channel will prompt package conflicts, so the following commands are not applicable in my environment.
conda install --strict-channel-priority --show-channel-urls
--override-channels -c https://conda.ovito.org -c conda-forge
ovito=3.0.1
Hope this helps people in the same situation.
Thanks again!
Excellent. Thanks for letting me know that it worked. I've updated our website to include the required version specification in the install command line.
