Installing Theano on EPD (Windows x64) - python

I'm trying to install Theano on Enthought Python Distribution (EPD), but I am getting a weird error. Here is what my installation looks like:
I have installed EPD to C:\Python27.
After that, I have installed pip by using easy_install pip
I installed Theano by using pip install Theano
To test, I start ipython and type import theano. I get the following error:
Problem occurred during compilation with the command line below:

Does anyone know how to get Theano to run with EPD?

The last release of Theano(0.5) has some problem on Windows. You need to install the bleeding edge version. You can update your version like this:
pip install --upgrade --no-deps git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git
This should solve the problem. If not, you probably have some conflict with a different installation of gcc. Do you have installed it with cygwin or mingw? EPD installs its own version of mingw.

I couldn't get Theano working with Enthought, but using the Anaconda python distribution I eventually got it working. Here's how:
uninstall Enthought and any other python version (start from scratch)
download and install Anaconda python distribution from this link: http://09c8d0b2229f813c1b93-c95ac804525aac4b6dba79b00b39d1d3.r79.cf1.rackcdn.com/Anaconda-1.5.0-Windows-x86_64.exe and click the option to use Anaconda as your default python version
to get the academic license, go to this page: https://store.continuum.io/cshop/academicanaconda and click the "free" button next to Anaconda Academic License (right side of page)
you should receive an email with an academic license .txt file. Follow the instructions in the email to place the file in the correct directory, and run several command-line commands to update anaconda and install numpy and scipy
open a windows command prompt and type
pip install theano
create a file .theanorc.txt containing the lines:
[global]
openmp=False
[blas]
ldflags=
place .theanorc.txt in your home folder (the folder for your user account)
make sure the following paths are added to your PATH environment variable:
C:\Anaconda\MinGW\bin;
C:\Anaconda\MinGW\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib;
C:\Anaconda;
C:\Anaconda\Scripts;

CMake - Installing issues to make package

For installing dlib, I followed this tutorial : http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2017/03/27/how-to-install-dlib/.
I am on Mac OS X 10.12.5 and using Python 3.5.
I run
$ brew install cmake
$ brew install boost
$ brew install boost-python --with-python3
It works without any error.
But when I try to install dlib with pip install dlib. I have an error :
The C compiler
"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc"
is not able to compile a simple test program.
error: cmake configuration failed
ld: can't map file, errno=22 file '/usr/local/opt/qt/lib' for architecture x86_64
For the full error, please see on this link (doesn't want to paste the full error) :
https://gist.github.com/alexattia/3e98685310d90b65031db640d3ea716a
After retracing the error, when I tried to make dlib manually, I have this :
Linking C executable cmTC_05e45

I reinstalled XCode (from Apple Store) and CMake (3.8.2 from the downloaded page), I even installed Qt Creator to have a clean version of Qt, but I still have the same error.
I tried to install it with conda but after the installation, I still don't have the module in python.
Thank you very much for any help.
You commented:
Indeed, in my .bash_profile, I have export LDFLAGS="/usr/local/opt/qt/lib",
export CPPFLAGS="/usr/local/opt/qt/include", export PATH="/usr/local/opt/qt/bin:$PATH".
But even while commenting it, I still have the same error
Neither of your assignments to LDFLAGS or CPPFLAGS makes sense, and the
first one is the cause the linker failure that concerns you.
The value of the environment variable LDFLAGS, if set, is interpreted by your build system
as linkage options. Likewise The value of the environment variable
CPPFLAGS, if set, is interpreted as preprocessor options.
/usr/local/opt/qt/lib is not a linkage option and /usr/local/opt/qt/include
is not a preprocessor option. These are simply directory names. Any argument that
you pass to the linker (or preprocessor, or compiler) that is not an option is
interpeted by the tool as an input file. Thus you have led the linker to believe
that /usr/local/opt/qt/lib is an input file to your linkage.
ld: can't map file, errno=22 file '/usr/local/opt/qt/lib' for architecture x86_64
is what the linker says when it discovers that /usr/local/opt/qt/lib is not
a file at all.
Presumably, you wish to instruct the linker that /usr/local/opt/qt/lib is
a directory in which it should search for libraries required by your linkage.
The linkage option that expresses that intent is:
-L/usr/local/opt/qt/lib
Here are the GCC options for linking
Similarly you intend to instruct that preprocessor that /usr/local/opt/qt/include
is a directory in which it should search for header files. The preprocessor
option to express that is:
-I/usr/local/opt/qt/include
Here are the GCC options for preprocessing
It is abnormal and inadvisable to specify compilation or linkage options
in your bash login profile, as you are doing. Specify such options in the
build system's input files (makefile, cmakelists file or similar), or as arguments to
the build system's configuration. But if you insist on specifying them in
your bash login profile, then you should specify:
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/qt/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/qt/include
And once you have made these environment settings in your bash_profile they will
only take effect in new login shells.
I had a similar issue but found out it was due to boost.
Try this.
brew uninstall boost-python
brew uninstall boost
brew install boost-python --with-python3 --without-python
pip3 install dlib

pystan: CompileError: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 (Windows)

Before I get to far into this, I should note that I have seen a very similar question, but the solution presented did not work for me. Perhaps one reason why is because that was Linux build and my current difficulty is on a Windows 7 machine. I use Cygwin to get access to the gcc (5.2.0) compiler suite.
In any event, I have been attempting to try out Stan via PyStan. I am working with an Anaconda (2.4.1 64-bit) distribution which I just updated today (Python 2.7.11). I initially tried to install PyStan via pip, but the install keeps failing due to what looks like the following error:
Cannot build msvcr library: "msvcr90d.dll" not found
Consequently, I used conda instead, which seemed to install just fine. (I should note that the conda install pushed my numpy back to an earlier version, which created conflicts with the pandas upon import. I just updated anaconda to deal with these broken dependencies.) I was also able to import PyStan without any problems. However, when I actually tried to fit a model (inside of a Jupyter Notebook), the process failed with the exception in the title.
The first thing I did was confirm that gcc was where in the referenced location (not shown in the title). Indeed it was, and it seemed to working just fine. I then tried to run the model as a script from the command line (still using Python), and it failed with the same error. When I recreated the model via the REPL, it pointed to a different location that had a .bat file referencing the (verified) compiler, and that failed as well.
I am pretty sure this is because I have Visual Studio 2012, instead of Visual Studio 2008. While it is possible for me to run parallel installations, if this code is going to be useful for others in the future, these are not reasonable hoops to jump through to make it happen. I was hoping that someone else might have a better explanation. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Beneficial from the post at https://github.com/stan-dev/pystan/issues/306
I have met various error message, but finally, I install PyStan successfully.
My machine is also on Windows 7, x64 with Anaconda3 installed.Here are the procedures to install PyStan from the sourced codes.
Install Visual Studio 2017 & Visual Studio C++ Build Tool 2015 at http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
Update Conda
conda update conda
conda update --all
check the dependencies
pip install setuptool
conda install numpy cython matplotlib scipy pandas
Install gcc compiler components
conda install libpython
conda install -c msys2 m2w64-toolchain=5.3.0
created distutils.cfg file inside Anaconda3\Lib\distutils folder with the following:
[build]
compiler = mingw32
Download Git at https://git-scm.com/downloads
git clone --recursive https://github.com/stan-dev/pystan.git
Compile from the source code
python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
python setup.py install
P.S. The solution for the issue: Cannot build msvcr library: "vcruntime140d.dll" not found.
Copy vcruntime140d.dll from C:\Windows\System32 to any folder, which is reachable in the path in the advanced system settings/environment variables/ system variables.

pyzmq installation error with dependency on gcc

I tried installing pyzmq by http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/install/install.html as I want to install ipython. But it has dependency on pyzmq which has dependency on gcc. I already have gcc installed but still I am getting the following error while install pyzmq.
compilation terminated.
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
The script also has following in it:
If you expected pyzmq to link against an installed libzmq, please check to make sure:
* You have a C compiler installed
* A development version of Python is installed (including headers)
* A development version of ZMQ >= 2.1.4 is installed (including headers)
* If ZMQ is not in a default location, supply the argument --zmq=<path>
* If you did recently install ZMQ to a default location,
try rebuilding the ld cache with `sudo ldconfig`
or specify zmq's location with `--zmq=/usr/local`
You can skip all this detection/waiting nonsense if you know
you want pyzmq to bundle libzmq as an extension by passing:
`--zmq=bundled`
I will now try to build libzmq as a Python extension
I already have all the above but still issues. I am guessing I have path issues i.e. may be pyzmq is looking at other location but how do I solve this problem
This is a huge issue in Windows to install ipython. I would recommend Windows users to never go the pip or easy_install way to install it. I faced a lot of issues like above. I read that it still has dependencies issues on github i.e. via pip.
I got it installed finally by this:
Download and install Anaconda
Update IPython to the current version by:
Go to Anaconda directory or look for anaconda cmd & do the following:
conda update conda
conda update ipython

Installing (build) matplotlib in mac osx lion

I installed pynum and scipy (on osx Lion with python 2.7), but when I tried to build matplotlib
git clone https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git
cd matplotlib
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
I've got these errors:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framework/Headers/ATSTypes.h:242: error: declaration for parameter ‘FMFontDirectoryFilter’ but no such parameter
src/_macosx.m:5912: error: expected ‘{’ at end of input

error: command 'llvm-gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 1
Could somebody please tell me what is the problem?
P.S.
At first I tried to install it in this way:
pip install -e git+https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib#egg=matplotlib-dev
but it does not worked for me
I always find this process more painful than it should be, but I've done it a few times now and I believe that these steps should get you set up:
Get Xcode 4.3.2, it's required for some of the later steps.
Download the latest version of python for OSX from python.org
Grab the Scipy superpack.
Uninstall any previous versions of numpy/matplotlib/scipy that you currently have. That includes doing cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ and moving any numpy/matplotlib/scipy directories or eggs into a temp directory.
cd ~/Downloads(or wherever you downloaded the superpack script to) and run sh install_superpack.sh. Answer no to the question are you installing from a repository cloned to this machine or you'll be confused about why the script keeps failing.
That should be it! You should now be able to boot up the python console and import numpy, scipy, matplotlib.

What is the best way to setup Django on os X 10.7 Lion?

I am setting up Python and Django on os X 10.7 from a virgin install and Xcode 4.3.
I tried using the default install of Python:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/
I normally use a Python based package manager called easy_install.
Easy_install seems to not be able to find the compiler.
EDIT: When I tried to install MySQL-python I got this error:
$ sudo easy_install MySQL-python

Apparently, the system attempts to use the same compiler used to compile the installed Python framework.
For some reason Apple didn't include llvm-gcc-4.2.
Xcode 4.1 used GCC, but with Xcode 4.3 that seems to have changed.
From what I can gather, Apple wants to use Clang as the compiler vs GCC.
So I added to .bash_profile:
cc=clang
I decided I would just recompile Python with clang but first, I needed to install readline.
Fail:

What the easiest way to install Django on Lion 10.7?
Did you install the command-line tools with Xcode 4.3? They are not installed by default. You can install them by going to the Downloads pane in Xcode 4.3's preferences.
Making it way too hard:
First, make sure you install Xcode (available for free in the Mac App Store). It includes all the build tools that might be necessary to compile certain Python packages.
To get easy_install just download setuptools and follow the instructions for installing on Mac OS X at that link.
Once that's done, you can easy_install virtualenv to get a nice segregated environment to work in.
For the MySQL issue you have to edit the site.cfgfile:
mysql_config = /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
And then:
$ python setup.py build
$ sudo python setup.py install
Try updating XCode and reinstall all global site-packages. You may also want to try pip instead of easy_install.
You can also try to compile with
export ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64'
This solved many of my problems in the past when upgrading OSX versions.
