I'm trying to install some packages with pip.
But pip install unroll gives me
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in
C:\Users\MARKAN~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-wa7uco0k\unroll\
How can I solve this?
About the error code
According to the Python documentation:
This module makes available standard errno system symbols. The value of each symbol is the corresponding integer value. The names and descriptions are borrowed from linux/include/errno.h, which should be pretty all-inclusive.
Error code 1 is defined in errno.h and means Operation not permitted.
About your error
Your setuptools do not appear to be installed. Just follow the Installation Instructions from the PyPI website.
If it's already installed, try
pip install --upgrade setuptools
If it's already up to date, check that the module ez_setup is not missing. If it is, then
pip install ez_setup
Then try again
pip install unroll
If it's still not working, maybe pip didn't install/upgrade setup_tools properly so you might want to try
easy_install -U setuptools
And again
pip install unroll
Here's a little guide explaining a little bit how I usually install new packages on Python + Windows. It seems you're using Windows paths, so this answer will stick to that particular SO:
I never use a system-wide Python installation. I only use virtualenvs, and usually I try to have the latest version of 2.x & 3.x.
My first attempt is always doing pip install package_i_want in some of my Visual Studio command prompts. What Visual Studio command prompt? Well, ideally the Visual Studio which matches the one which was used to build Python. For instance, let's say your Python installation says Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:40:30) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32. The version of Visual Studio used to compile Python can be found here, so v1500 means I'd be using vs2008 x64 command prompt
If the previous step failed for some reason I just try using easy_install package_i_want
If the previous step failed for some reason I go to gohlke website and I check whether my package is available over there. If it's so, I'm lucky, I just download it into my virtualenv and then I just go to that location using a command prompt and I do pip install package_i_want.whl
If the previous step didn't succeed I'll just try to build the wheel myself and once it's generated I'll try to install it with pip install package_i_want.whl
Now, if we focus in your specific problem, where you're having a hard time installing the unroll package. It seems the fastest way to install it is doing something like this:
git clone https://github.com/Zulko/unroll
cd unroll && python setup.py bdist_wheel
Copy the generated unroll-0.1.0-py2-none-any.whl file from the created dist folder into your virtualenv.
pip install unroll-0.1.0-py2-none-any.whl
That way it will install without any problems. To check it really works, just login into the Python installation and try import unroll, it shouldn't complain.
One last note: This method works almost 99% of the time, and sometimes you'll find some pip packages which are specific to Unix or Mac OS X, in that case, when that happens I'm afraid the best way to get a Windows version is either posting some issues to the main developers or having some fun by yourself porting to Windows (typically a few hours if you're not lucky) :)
It was resolved after upgrading pip:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "package-name"
I got stuck exactly with the same error with psycopg2. It looks like I skipped a few steps while installing Python and related packages.
sudo apt-get install python-dev libpq-dev
Go to your virtual env
pip install psycopg2
(In your case you need to replace psycopg2 with the package you have an issue with.)
It worked seamlessly.
I got this same error while installing mitmproxy using pip3. The below command fixed this:
pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=44266 - this package contains the compiler and set of system headers necessary for producing binary wheels for Python 2.7 packages.
Open a command prompt in elevated mode (run as administrator)
Firstly do pip install ez_setup
Then do pip install unroll (It will start installing numpy, music21, decorator, imageio, tqdm, moviepy, unroll) # Please be patient for music21 installation
Python 2.7.11 64 bit used
Other way:
sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2 python-mysqldb
I had the same issue when installing the "Twisted" library and solved it by running the following command on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus):
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential
It's a dependency issue.
I tried running the following commands helped me sorting out the dependencies, in my case the dependency was
grpcio
pip3 install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip3 install --no-cache-dir --force-reinstall -Iv grpcio==1.36.1
pip3 install pulsar-client==2.7.0
remember you must have python3 installed in your system.
First try:
pip install unroll
For sure not work :)
Then Try:
pip2 install unroll
Still get error Try:
pip3 install unroll
If pip3 Worked then suggest to change configuration to use pip3 as pip because you will get a lot of issues as the modern now is Python3 = pip3 if you execute a script files.
I had the same problem.
The problem was:
pyparsing 2.2 was already installed and my requirements.txt was trying to install pyparsing 2.0.1 which throw this error
Context: I was using virtualenv, and it seems the 2.2 came from my global OS Python site-packages, but even with --no-site-packages flag (now by default in last virtualenv) the 2.2 was still present. Surely because I installed Python from their website and it added Python libraries to my $PATH.
Maybe a pip install --ignore-installed would have worked.
Solution: as I needed to move forwards, I just removed the pyparsing==2.0.1 from my requirements.txt.
I ran into the same error code when trying to install a Python module with pip.
#Hackndo noted that the documentation indicate a security issue.
Based on that answer, my problem was solved by running the pip install command with sudo prefixed:
sudo pip install python-mpd2
For me this worked
python3 -m pip3 install -U pip
you can also try
python -m pip install -U pip
pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with -m pip instead of running pip directly.
Use python3 -m pip "command", eg:
python3 -m pip install --user pyqt5
I tried all of the above with no success. I then updated my Python version from 2.7.10 to 2.7.13, and it resolved the problems that I was experiencing.
That means some packages in pip are old or not correctly installed.
Try checking version and then upgrading pip.Use auto remove if that works.
If the pip command shows an error all the time for any command or it freezes, etc.
The best solution is to uninstall it or remove it completely.
Install a fresh pip and then update and upgrade your system.
I have given a solution to installing pip fresh here - python: can't open file get-pip.py error 2] no such file or directory
next installation helps me:
pip3 install cython
This worked for me:
sudo xcodebuild -license
Upgrading Python to version 3 fixed my problem. Nothing else did.
I downloaded the .whl file from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and then did:
pip install scipy-0.19.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
Note that the version you need to use (win32/win_amd-64) depends on the version of Python and not that of Windows.
I had this problem using virtualenvs (with pipenv) on my new development setup.
I could only solve it by upgrading the psycopg2 version from 2.6.2 to 2.7.3.
More information is at https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/issues/594
I faced the same problem with the same error message but on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) instead:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-w71uo1rg/poster/
I tested all the solutions provided above and none of them worked for me. I read the full TraceBack and found out I had to create the virtual environment with Python version 2.7 instead (the default one uses Python 3.5 instead):
virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 my_venv
Once I activated it, I run pip install unirest successfully.
try on linux:
sudo apt install python-pip python-bluez libbluetooth-dev libboost-python-dev libboost-thread-dev libglib2.0-dev bluez bluez-hcidump
Had the same problem on my Win10 PC with different packages and tried everything mentioned so far.
Finally solved it by disabling Comodo Auto-Containment.
Since nobody has mentioned it yet, I hope it helps someone.
I had the same problem and was able to fix by doing the following.
Windows Python needs Visual C++ libraries installed via the SDK to build code, such as via setuptools.extension.Extension or numpy.distutils.core.Extension. For example, building f2py modules in Windows with Python requires Visual C++ SDK as installed above. On Linux and Mac, the C++ libraries are installed with the compiler.
https://www.scivision.co/python-windows-visual-c++-14-required/
Following below command worked for me
[root#sandbox ~]# pip install google-api-python-client==1.6.4
Methods to solve setup.pu egg_info issue when updating setuptools or not other methods doesnot works.
If CONDA version of the library is available to install use conda instead of pip.
Clone the library repo and then try installation by pip install -e . or by python setup.py install
upgrading python's version did the work for me.
I have just encountered the same problem when trying to pip install -e . a new repo. I did not notice that the contents of setup.py haven't been saved properly and I was effectively running the command with an empty setup.py.
Hence you may experience the same error message if the setup.py of the target package is either empty or malformed.
I solved it on Centos 7 by using:
sudo yum install libcurl-devel
I am new to Python and I have to use Python 3.3.1 version instead of latest one...
pip install numpy
it returns
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I tried using the way i installed on python 3.6 but seems to be not working here..
I don't know how to install packages like numpy, pandas, scipy, sci-kit learn, matplotlib etc... in the Python 3.3.1, could you please help..?
Do i need to install pip separately... ?
Thanks in advance.
If you are in window try with:-
Open CMD and
python -m pip install numpy
If this is not working try with this
just type it as your python programe and run it
import pip
pip.main(["install","numpy"])
In my windows 10 machine, the pip.exe is in C:\Python36\Scripts folder. So I install required packages by either using command C:\Python36\Scripts\pip install package_name or first cd C:\Python36\Scripts and then pip install package_name. So far it worked me in different versions of pythons installed.
As suggested by ostue, please make sure that pip is installed with the python distribution.
I am getting ImportError: No module named 'Crypto' error when trying to run. I have installed pycrypto using pip install pycrypto and updated it also. Everything I have tried to far has been unsuccessful.
Tried:
reinstalling pycrypto,
updating both python and pycrypto
Any suggestions?
The error messages says, it does not able to find the module so please try to run below command,
#pip list -- # what does it show to you, if it would have installed successfully it will show you up there.
if "pip install pycrypto" doesn't work so try to download the source tar ball and try to install it from prompt.
pip download pycrypto
it will download tar.gz file.. so you can install using with pip install --no-index --find-links /path/to/some/dir/ pycrypto
for python3.5 version
python3.5 -m pip install pycrypto
this will install in python3.5 environment and after that you can able to import pycrypto module
Is python defined properly on your machine?
Make sure PATH environment variable has python's installation folder in it
I want to install NumPy using the pip install numpy command, but I get the following error:
RuntimeError: Broken toolchain: cannot link a simple C program
I'm using Windows 7 32 bit, Python 2.7.9, pip 6.1.1 and some MSVC compiler. I think it uses the compiler from Visual C++ 2010 Express, but actually I'm not sure which one, because I have several Visual Studio installations.
I know that there are prebuilt packages for Windows, but is there some way to do it just by typing pip install numpy?
I think that there could be other packages which must be compiled before usage, so it's not only about NumPy. I want to solve the problem with my compiler, so I could easily install any other similar package without necessity to search for prebuilt packages (and hope that there are some at all).
Check the installation of Python 2.7, and then install/reinstall pip which is described here. Then a open command line windows and write:
pip install numpy
Or
pip install scipy
If already installed, try this:
pip install -U numpy
Installing extension modules can be an issue with pip. This is why Conda exists. Conda is an open-source BSD-licensed cross-platform package manager. It can easily install NumPy.
Two options:
Install Anaconda here
Install Miniconda here and then go to a command line and type conda install numpy (make sure your PATH includes the location Conda was installed to).
Frustratingly, the NumPy package published to PyPI won't install on most Windows computers: Windows wheel package (.whl) on Pypi #5479
Instead:
Download the NumPy wheel for your Python version from Archived: Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages, NumPy
Install it from the command line:
pip install numpy-1.10.2+mkl-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl
As of March 2016, pip install numpy works on Windows without a Fortran compiler. See here.
pip install scipy still tries to use a compiler.
July 2018: mojoken reports pip install scipy working on Windows without a Fortran compiler.
py -m pip install numpy
Worked for me!
Install miniconda (here)
After installed, open Anaconda Prompt (search this in Start Menu)
Write:
pip install numpy
After installed, test:
import numpy as np
First go through page Download Python to download Python 3.6.1 or 2.7.13 either of your choice. I preferred to use Python 2.7 or 3.4.4.
Now after installation, go to the folder name python27 or python34, and click on the script. Now here open the command prompt by left clicking and Run as administrator.
After the command prompt appears, write "pip install numpy" there. This will install the latest version of NumPy and installing it will show a success comment. That's all.
Similarly, Matplotlib can be installed by just typing "pip install matplotlip". And now if you want to download SciPy, then just write "pip install scipy" and if it doesn't work then you need to download Python SciPy from SciPy: Scientific Library for Python and install it.
I had the same problem.
I decided in a very unexpected way. I just opened the command line as an administrator. And then typed:
pip install numpy
I am trying to install Numpy on Python 2.7 and I am using Windows 8.1. When I run Numpy from this link it says, "Python 2.7 required, which was not found in the registry ". How can resolve this issue, I already installed Python 2.7?
For Windows, you should check out Chris Gohlke's page:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
He has some Numpy builds there for Python 2.7.
You can first install wheel using pip.
pip install wheel
Then download the .whl file for Numpy from Chris Gohlke's page.
Then go to the directory where you downloaded the package.whl file in cmd and do the following
pip install package_you_downloaded.whl
I experienced a similar broken toolchain error while installing Numpy. You can check it here.
I changed to anaconda a while ago and in my mind its the best and most dynamic package manager for all platforms.
http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install.html
correct command after installing pip is:
python -m pip install numpy
You should use pip to install Numpy and any other librarys
check this for how to install pip
after installing, go to your command line and enter
pip install numpy
