Hey guys, I am struggling with the instalation of fenics on my Windows computer. I downloaded the python package fenics but when I tried to run my code I got the message “no module fenics found”. Then, when I look up the packages of fenics I realized that the package “fenics-dolfin” is missing. I also tried to download the dolfin package separately, but there is no dolfin package available in the python packages library.
I would like to know how to fix this, because without this package I cannot run my code. If there is a topic with this solution please let me know. The version of fenics I am currently using is 2019.1.0.
Thanks in adavnce.
Hi Lucas, FEniCS is not available on Windows, since it requires libraries (PETSc) not available for the Windows operating system.
Installation instructions are located at GitHub - FEniCS/dolfinx: Next generation FEniCS problem solving environment
On a Windows machine, your choice is to either install Docker, and use Docker images, or install the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), and then install via apt.

Thank you very much. My experience with wsl is not good since in my other computer (which I use wsl to run fenics) I am having a problem with hd space taken by ubuntu inside my hd.
In the end, I think that the best choice then would be installing linux in dual boot with my windows.
