fa2 installation fails
The forceatlas 2 (fa2) package fails during installation. The issue is known and described here and there is even a fix here that was never merged. I had a look and fa2 is abandoned. Well, I see three options:
- don't use fa2 and return to scanpy's default "fr". Which is slow and has worse results
- install fa2 from the github fork where the issue is fixed (here).
- Find a new pseudotime package e.g. scFates (@Yousef.Alayoubi used it)
We should go for option 2 as an immediate short-term solution but try to change to another package in the future (option 3). Any other ideas? Let's discuss.
