Unable to install autodock vina (potentially due to boost)

As part of a script I am writing, I need to install the package autodock vina for the purpose of ligand and protein binding. Every time I attempt to "pip install vina", I recieve an error message " ValueError: Boost library location was not found!". Upon attempting to install boost manually, I have been unable to run the bootstrap file, as it does not make the b2 folder that online tutorials say it will make.
To resolve this issue, I installed conda, and made an active environment with every single prerequisite, including boost, installed. I have checked for the version of all of these prerequisites and confirmed their existence, as well as double and triple-checking that I am in the write active environment. Upon installation, I either get the same issue (using conda install vina) or when using "conda install -c bioconda autodock-vina", I get a message saying that the package does not exist (despite adding cforge and bioconda as active package handlers, and the existence of said package is clearly documented online). Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been attempting to install this piece of software for 3 days and I've completely exhausted the documentation, as well as all other similar question answers, with nothing working.

I also get this error. I asked ResearchGate how to solve this problem and Cheng Shen adviced to use WSL/WSL2 to simulate a Linux environment and then run conda install -c bioconda vina (or another command like this)
What I did.
Install WSL and Ubuntu on Windows 2. Run code . in WSL terminal (for installing VS Code [recommended])
Install Anaconda/Miniconda following this guide
Type conda install -c bioconda vina in Ubuntu terminal (bioconda channel will download all required packages - boost, swig, etc.)
Vina should be successfully installed ( vina --version in WSL Terminal to check)
I found it much easier to install packages for docking via WSL and use VS Code to run scripts there. It's VERY easier than trying to solve this problem by configuring boost for Windows. If you have any questions you can ask me in ResearchGate.

Follow the steps below to install face_recognition python package on Windows 10.
The instruction has been tested on Windows 10 64bit, python 3.9.
Step 1
Download CMake installation package for your OS from official site
Step 2
Install downloaded CMake installation package. Please make sure that Add CMake to system PATH option has been selected during the installation.
Step 3
Reboot your OS (restart computer)
Step 4
Run pip install dlib
It tooks several minutes so be prepared to wait
Step 5
If it completes without any errors, you're all set. Run pip install face_recognition to install face_recognition.

Fixed it. I had to modify my Visual Studio install from Start menu programs, and include latest MSVC and include Windows 10 SDK under Individual Components

How to solve issue related to installation of dlib on Windows 10?

I am trying to install dlib for face-recognition for python 3.7 on windows 10, I explored few ways but I am getting errors.I tried below steps-
Installed cmake using 'pip install cmake'. This worked.
Downloaed the Dlib source(.tar.gz) from the Python Package Index : https://pypi.org/project/dlib/#files extract it and enter into the folder.
Ran the installation: python setup.py install
I am getting below error.

Can you please advise how to solve this issue?

In my system i'd done using Anaconda. The Dlib library supports python 3.6 to 3.7.0 in conda environments.
follow the instruction to install face recognition model,
install Anaconda from https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/#download-section
in conda prompt, create an environment using this command
conda create --name env_name python=3.7.0
then activate the env
conda activate env_name
install dlib
conda install -c conda-forge dlib=19.17
now install face_recogintion models using pip
pip install face_recogntion

Installing face_recognition on Windows 10
Requirements:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (or newer) with C/C++ Compiler installed.
Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) 14.0 installed (need to install the visual c++ build tools)
CMake for windows and add it to your system environment variables
Boost installed and added to system environment variables
Python 3 with the same system type as your OS (ie. 64-bit, 32-bit)
Installing MSVC 14.0 and Cmake for windows
Download Microsoft C++ build tools from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ and
install
Once the installation finished, click on modify in the Visual Studio Build Tools 2019 (2) section
Go to the Individual components tab, under the Compilers, build tools, and runtimes, tick on C++ CMake tools for Windows and MSVC v140
VS 2015 C++ build tools (v14.00) and click modify. The Visual Studio Installer will begin to download and install MSVC 14.0 and Cmake for
you
Adding MSVC 14.0 and Cmake to System Variables
On the search tab, type This PC and right-click, choose properties
Go to the Advanced system settings, under Advanced tab click on Environment Variables
Under System variables, click New… and fill the following: Name: VS140COMNTOOLS Value: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\Common7\Tools\
Click OK
Under User variables, click on variable named Path and click Edit…
Click New and fill “C:\Program Files\CMake\bin”
Click OK, click OK again
Installing Boost and face_recognition
Download Boost library source code or binary release for your current MSVC from https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/
Extract the Boost source files into C:\local\boost_1_XX_X (X means the current version of Boost you have). You may need to create local
directory
Open Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio and go to the current directory of Boost extracted and try these commands to compile
Boost: bootstrap b2 -a --with-python address-model=64
toolset=msvc runtime-link=static
If you successfully compile Boost, it should create compiled files in stage directory
Go to Command prompt and type $ pip install face_recognition

Set up cassandra driver (python) in Docker

I used a docker file several months ago that (1) uses base ubuntu image, (2) installs miniconda python distribution, (3) installs some python libraries using miniconda, (4) runs following commands to set up cassandra-driver for python.
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
RUN pip install cassandra-driver
This worked perfectly six months ago. But now I'm getting this exception.
Step 13 : RUN pip install cassandra-driver

What might be going wrong? Is the installation package broken or I'm not doing it right?

The python cassandra-driver now uses Cython extensions by default since version 2.7.0, but there is an escape hatch for those who don't have easy access to the cython distribution or don't need it which might be a good option for you as well. The cython extensions do offer a boon to performance, but it might not be suitable for a lot of cases (especially where you are not doing high throughput).
From the install documentation:
By default, this package uses Cython to optimize core modules and build custom extensions. This is not a hard requirement, but is engaged by default to build extensions offering better performance than the pure Python implementation.
This build phase can be avoided using the build switch, or an environment variable:
python setup.py install --no-cython
-or-
pip install --install-option="--no-cython" <spec-or-path>
Alternatively, an environment variable can be used to switch this option regardless of context:
CASS_DRIVER_NO_CYTHON=1 <your script here>

In order to install cassandra-driver you need to compile some C source files however you don't have gcc inside your container:
unable to execute 'gcc': No such file or directory
Try to install gcc and python-dev packages before installing cassandra-driver:
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
python-dev \
gcc \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
