I've made multiple attempts to install Miniconda on my Macbook running Catalina. I've been following this guide on YouTube about how to install it. The area where I run into issues is when the installation completes and I have to restart the terminal. According to the video, this should allow me to use the conda command in the terminal itself, thus allowing me to do what I need to do. The error message I receive is below:
ERROR: The install method you used for conda--probably either pip
install conda or easy_install conda--is not compatible with using
conda as an application. If your intention is to install conda as a
standalone application, currently supported install methods include
the Anaconda installer and the miniconda installer. You can download
the miniconda installer from https://conda.io/miniconda.html.
What confuses me most about this is the fact that I have done this exact step. This current installation is from the link they provided. Has anyone else run into any issues like this?

I am doing this project where i need to install a package called Twint.
I want to install this package and use it's commands in my VS Code.
What happends when i for example type this in my Windows CMD?
pip3 install --user --upgrade git+https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git#origin/master#egg=twint
Because i can't type this in my VS code terminal, where i usually install packages with pip.
It will return an error that says ERROR: Cannot find command 'git' - do you have 'git' installed and in your PATH?''
Now if i run this in my Windows Command it seems that i can't directly import the package in VS code?
Can anyone help me out with this confusion, where does the files get stored and how do i create good habbits around installing packages?
Hope someone understands what im struggeling with here.

It is often the case that computers have more than one version of python installed and that editors like VS code use a different version than pip uses on the command line. pip installs packages where the version of python it is linked to expects them to be, but VScode doesn't know to look there.
It sounds like you have git installed where pip installs things, so you can upgrade from the command line without issue, but there's no installation of git where VScode is looking, so there's nothing to upgrade.
You either need to find where pip installs things and add it to the $PATH VScode uses, or try running a variation of python -m pip install --user git (specifying a specific url, or other things, as needed) from within VScode, which will ensure the package gets installed in a place that VScode looks for packages.
Download and Install git in your windows from here:
https://git-scm.com/download/win
Then add its installation bin path to your windows's environment path. Then you will find the git command at the command prompt globally.
This may solve you problem.
The first time I have installed Python on my machine, it was Spyder with Anaconda.
But, with this version, I wasn't able to install pyodbc.
So, I have install Visual Studio Code and everything works fine
But today, I have tried to update some libraries (like certify or scipy) but each time I use pip install, I update my Anaconda folder and not my WindowsApps folder.
So, when I use PIP, how to update the Windows folder and not Anaconda. And also how to remove Anaconda from my computer. In my Windows Settings, I have no app related to Anaconda (weird)
Check your path, and which pip executable is being executed.
If you run it with the full path to your install in WindowsApps, then it should detect and update that version.
You can check which pip you are using with the command of pip --version.
Press win to open the start menu and search uninstall-a to find the Uninstall-Anaconda3.exe or open the control-panel to uninstall it. Like the official docs recommended.
gdal is correctly installed on my global system's python 3.5 packages.
But now I'm trying to pip install gdal on my python 3.6 virtual environment, but I receive multiple errors.
After activating the virtual environment, I've tried the following:
pip install pygdal or pip3 install pygdal
Error received: ERROR: Failed building wheel for pygdal
Tried following this guide, but the commands stated there are outdated
I've also tried this solution and this which failed
Installed older gdal versions but also didn't work.
Tried pip3 install GDAL==$(gdal-config --version) and I get the same error
I use
Ubuntu 16.04 and pip 21.0.1. Venv was created using virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3.6 my_venv
I've finally fixed the problem, and these are the steps I followed:
I uninstalled wheel from my venv
Then I pip installed gdal on the venv to check what error would appear
A wall of error text appeared, in which somewhere I noticed the 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
I typed sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev to install missing packages, as the solution suggests here
Then I ran pip install GDAL=<version that appears on ogrinfo --version> and it worked
EDIT: This answer pertains more to Windows than Ubuntu, but may have something useful.
Try downloading a wheel from here:
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#gdal
Note the "cp##" in the middle - that should match your Python version. If you are running Python 3.6 then you should see "cp36" in the file name (a "cp37" in the name means the wheel will fail). Also pay attention to the amd64 and win32 to be sure you have the correct version to match your Python virtual environment.
I'm on Windows instead of Ubuntu, but this was my process:
Open command prompt with cmd
Copy the path to activate.bat in the virtual environment from Windows Explorer (hold shift down, right-click on file, choose
"copy as path")
Paste path into control panel and hit enter. You should see an indicator that you are in virtual environment.
Copy the path to the wheel you downloaded to the clipboard using the same shift key trick.
Type 'pip install ' then paste the wheel path from your clipboard (or type it all out manually)
As an aside, I ended up with gdal installed within the osgeo module. I tried several things before I got here, but I'm pretty sure that happened with my installation from the wheel. In Python, I now use
from osgeo import gdal
I hope something here helps you. I've run into this a few times and it never seems like I quite remember how I got it done the next time I run into it. If I remembered it right this time, I can refer back here.
FWIW - I am using PyCharm and installing gdal through the Project Interpreter doesn't work. Also, it may take some jostling in PyCharm for the skeletons to update after you install through command prompt.
By using pip, I can successfully install new packages in ipython running in the Spyder environment. All I need to run is this:
!python -m pip install mypackage
However, trying to uninstall packages doesn't seem to work, at all. When I run:
!python -m pip uninstall mypackage
The console goes into a state of hanging. It's not strictly 'hanging' because neither Spyder nor the console hangs but the command just isn't returning anything
I am attaching a screenshot to help explain what I mean. The screenshot shows what happens AFTER I have pressed ENTER on this line - and nothing happens!
Does anything know why?
You should not use pip with Spyder. It can break your whole distribution. Spyder is part of the Anaconda package and you should use the conda command instead of pip. The conda command works similar to the pip command. Instead of pip install package you'd use conda install package.
(Spyder maintainer here) Both pip and conda are not meant to be run inside one of our IPython consoles because they expect to be running in a real system terminal (xterm, Terminal.app or cmd.exe).
In this case, pip expects input from the user (the confirmation that he/she really wants to uninstall a package). That confirmation can't be displayed in our consoles and it makes it looked like its blocked.
What you could do is to pass the -q option to pip to avoid confirmation. But in general it's a very bad idea to use pip and conda inside our consoles for the reasons I stated above.
I have a windows 10 64 bit machine, i installed spyder with pip and it could not work. so to uninstall i just used this command
pip uninstall spyder
however, if spyder has been installed with alongside Anaconda, Uninstalling Anacanda will delete its all packages including spyder.
I have Python27 installed in Windows 7
I am trying to build a reddit bot using this tutorial
I found instructions on how to install pip for windows from here
The page says that after installing pip, I can use pip freeze to check if the installation went correctly
It says pip freeze should display some information as shown below
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200] (c) 2012 Microsoft Corporation.
All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Username>cd c:\Python27\Scripts
c:\Python27\Scripts>pip freeze
antiorm==1.1.1
enum34==1.0
requests==2.3.0 virtualenv==1.11.6
However pip freeze doesn't show me anything at all
Did pip install correctly, or is there any problem? Is there any other way i can test proper installation?
If you want to test it thoroughly, you can use your actual pip installation to install something. For example, numpy would be a good sized example that can rule many problems out.
> pip install numpy
Now, run pip freeze again to check if pip is working as expected. It should then have something to show.
If you want to test it even further, you can open a terminal and
> python
> import numpy
That should be the complete test of your pip installation.
Additionally, whenever I install a new tool in my stack, I like to validate its path with where <executable name> (on Windows) and which <executable name> (on Linux). There are some compilers like Java that are always conflicting with other installations (like crazy, to the point that a complex setup may sometimes have to inject an absolute path to enforce the use of the correct version).
Also, asking the executable for its version can rule many other problems out. In your case, you can use pip --version to check which version you got and compare it to the stable or latest, according to what you want to use.
windows is a confusing piece of software if your coming from a Linux background... the solution that worked for me is the following
pip list
The problem you are facing is that if you only have de default packages in your installation lets say pip, wheel, pip freeze does not have anything to freeze at the moment so that's why dont show anything. try to install a new package then run the command again.
