Installation Troubles: File Not Found error for CMAKE and msise00_driver.exe

[aprater11]

Hello scivision,
I'm a python amateur and am having some troubles with the msise00 installation and initialization. After following all of the steps in the readme, and installing MSYS2 64bit, I'm hitting the following errors when I try to call msise00 functions:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Python37\\lib\\site-packages\\msise00\\msise00_driver.exe'
and
FileNotFoundError: CMake not available

As far as I can tell, msise00_driver.exe is not included in the base package, so it's searching for a non existent file. I've verified that this .exe is not in my site-packages (or anywhere on my C: drive). Is this something that gets generated by the package?

Running pytest msise00 produces similar failures reports regarding inability to locate msise00_driver.exe and that CMAKE is not available.

I'd appreciate any support you're able to provide on this issue. Thanks!

It seems the problem here is that you do not have CMake installed. It is needed in order to build the driver msise00_driver.exe.

To manually attempt building you can start a prompt and run

>>> import msise00.base
>>> msise00.base.build()

Correct @danielk333 thank you
