[scikit-image] arch linux install ?

[martin sladecek]

Hi Julien,

there indeed are other ways of managing python on your system, and the 
best one is probably conda.

https://conda.io/docs/

One of the most useful features of conda is that it separates your 
system python (packages installed by pacman as dependencies for other 
programs) and your user python (packages you want to use in your 
personal projects).

Conda can act as a package manager for your user python installation, so 
you can play around with different versions without messing up your 
system python.

Once you get conda set up, you can install scikit image with:

conda install scikit-image

Switching to a different way of managing your python installations may 
seem overwhelming at first, but I promise it will save you a lot of 
headache in the long run.

As an arch user myself, here are a few tips:

  * Let pacman handle your system python (never use pip as root)
  * Don't use AUR to install python packages (unless another AUR package
    depends on them)
  * Once you start using conda, you might encounter problems when
    building AUR packages. This is because AUR packages are built in
    your user environment, but they might require a system python
    dependency. If you encounter this, just remove conda directory from
    your PATH and try rebuilding the package.

Conda is a well established tool and you'll find plenty of documentation 
and tutorials for it online.
This page should be a good place to start:

Best of luck!
