FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: setup.py when importing a custom package from GitHub [duplicate]

When running pip install, I'm getting errors like this:
$ pip install pycairo

You are installing a potentially insecure and unverifiable file. Future versions of pip will default to disallowing insecure files.

pycairo is not built by setuptools, and therefore can't be installed by pip.
As the INSTALL documentation says:
Install Procedure
-----------------
$ ./waf --help # shows available waf options
$ ./waf configure # use --prefix and --libdir if necessary
# --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 for Fedora 64-bit
$ ./waf build
$ ./waf install
Use
$ python3 ./waf ...
if you have python2 and python3 installed, and the default is python 2.
You can still use pip to fetch it:
$ pip install --download=. pycairo
Downloading/unpacking pycairo
Downloading pycairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2 (246kB): 246kB downloaded
$ tar xf pycairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2
$ cd pycairo-1.10.0
$ python ./waf etc.
Just make sure you use the Python from your virtualenv, and pass the right options to the configure command (--prefix=$VIRTUAL_ENV should be sufficient, but don't quote me on that; you might also have to set the PYTHON environment variable to the path to your virtualenv Python, or other things).
Another option is to use an alternate set of Cairo bindings, like cairocffi. But that's obviously a big change, which may not be appropriate.

Install OpenCV to use with PyPy

I am trying to run OpenCV with PyPy, I tried everything to make it work, but so far I couldn't. Tried downloading opencv-python from its github repository (https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python) and then running setup.py myself, but it gives me this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\pypy2.7-v7.1.1-win32\site-packages\skbuild\setuptools_wrap.py", line 578, in setup
cmkr.make(make_args, env=env)

An error occurred while building with CMake.
Command:
"cmake" "--build" "." "--target" "install" "--config" "Release" "--"
Source directory:
I:\Dropbox\project\opencv-python
Working directory:
I:\Dropbox\project\opencv-python\_skbuild\win32-2.7\cmake-build
Please see CMake's output for more information.
Tried running the command separately, but also gives me another error:
Error: could not load the cache.
- Also tried some solutions for that cache error but nothing.
I couldn't understand what was the issue, and also couldn't find any CMake output file. Any help is appreciated.

When I try the following on linux, I get nice cmake output. Perhaps you do not have cmake installed and on your path?
virtualenv -p /path/to/pypy2/bin/pypy /tmp/pypy2
source /tmp/pypy2/bin/activate
sudo apt install libtiff-dev libqt4-dev
python setup.py bdist_wheel

I have no idea with installing by pypy, but I can give you some tips to install
1- install with pip:
a- make sure yourself that python directory has write permission
b- open cmd in administrative permission
c- run the command pip install opencv-contrib-python
2- install through whl files, search for python binary files and
install it locally(while installation you should have internet
connection)

XGBoostLibraryNotFound: Cannot find XGBoost Library in the candidate path, did you install compilers and run build.sh in root path?

I am facing this problem while moving the python-package directory of XGBoost.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 19, in LIB_PATH = libpath'find_lib_path' File "xgboost/libpath.py", line 46, in find_lib_path 'List of candidates:\n' + ('\n'.join(dll_path))) builtin.XGBoostLibraryNotFound: Cannot find XGBoost Library in the candidate path, did you install compilers and run build.sh in root path?
Could anyone explain to me how to fix it?
thanks in advance.

You get that message when trying to install the xgboost Python package without the xgboost binaries present. The proper way to install the xgboost Python package from source is the following (assuming you have a compiler such as gcc installed):
git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost.git
cd xgboost
./build.sh
cd python-package
python setup.py install
I prefer to do it inside a virtual environment. Note that the option --recursive when cloning the repo is essential since it will also clone folders from different repos such as dmlc-core which are necessary for building xgboost.

The other answers didn't work for me so I installed xgboost through Conda commands as listed here.
Just run conda install -c conda-forge xgboost

The first answer's suggestions did not work for me, and left me with the same error as the original question.
If I'm assuming correctly that your full error message is something like this:
C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package>python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 19, in <module>
LIB_PATH = [os.path.relpath(libfile, CURRENT_DIR) for libfile in libpath['find_lib_path']()]
File "xgboost/libpath.py", line 49, in find_lib_path
'List of candidates:\n' + ('\n'.join(dll_path)))
XGBoostLibraryNotFound: Cannot find XGBoost Library in the candidate path, did you install compilers and run build.sh in root path?
List of candidates:
C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package\xgboost\xgboost.dll
C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package\xgboost\../../lib/xgboost.dll
C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package\xgboost\./lib/xgboost.dll
C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\xgboost\xgboost.dll
C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package\xgboost\../../windows/x64/Release/xgboost.dll
C:\Users\Matt\xgboost\python-package\xgboost\./windows/x64/Release/xgboost.dll
then the solution is to
1) Get/find/download the library that setup.py is looking for. Search the xgboost folder for .dll files. See if you can find something like xgboost.dll it might be called libxgboost.dll. If you can, move to step 2. If you cannot find it download it here
2) Copy the .dll file into the xgboost/python-package/xgboost folder. If that .dll is not called xgboost.dll (i.e. if it's called libxgboost.dll) then change the name to xgboost.dll
3) Run the commands as outlined in Gustavo answer. Note these are meant to be run from Git Bash.
If you want a more soup-to-nuts tutorial, this was the best one I found.

thanks to Joe Nyland that found the a good answer for this problem in here.
As he said (and also worked for me) you need to run following commands:
$ brew install gcc#5
$ pip install xgboost

Try this it worked for me:
brew install gcc-5
brew install cmake
pip install xgboost

In my case (Ubuntu 16.04, with CUDA 9.0) the Python library build was evidently broken by adding R library package to the cmake options list:
1) python lib installation works OK:
cmake .. -DUSE_CUDA=ON -DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/cuda-${CUDA_VER}
cd /tmp/xgboost/python-package && python3 setup.py install
2) adding '-DR_LIB=ON' switch to cmake breaks subsequent python library installation attempt:
cmake .. -DUSE_CUDA=ON -DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/cuda-${CUDA_VER} -DR_LIB=ON
cd /tmp/xgboost/python-package && python3 setup.py install
> "XGBoostLibraryNotFound: Cannot find XGBoost Library in the candidate path, did you install compilers and run build.sh in root
> path?"

I had the same issues. I downloaded the file (xgboost.dll) from
(https://picnet.com.au/blog/xgboost-windows-x64-binaries-for-download/)
into the already existing xgboost folder
(C:\Users\Naganandini\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\xgboost).
It's perfectly working now :)

I faced the same error while installing xgboost using anaconda prompt because the installation of xgboost was interfering with the versions of some other pre-installed libraries. Installing xgboost by creating a virtual environment solved the issue.
On macOS and Linux:
python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv #Install virtualenv module
python3 -m venv env #Create a virtual environment 'env'
source env/bin/activate #Activate virtual environment
pip install xgboost #Install xgboost
On Windows:
py -m pip install --user virtualenv #Install virtualenv module
py -m venv env #Create a virtual environment 'env'
.\env\Scripts\activate #Activate virtual environment
pip install xgboost #Install xgboost
Refer https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments for help regarding virtual environment.

Search for xgboost.dll file under your C:\Users<your-user-name> directory.
If you have installed xgboost, somewhere you should find a copy of the xgboost.dll file.
Once you find the xgboost.dll file, just copy it to one of the paths mentioned in the error message,
e.g. C:\Users<your-user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\xgboost\ . Import should work now.

1.I started off with the conda installation from anaconda prompt:
(base) C:\Users\abhi.b>conda install -c anaconda py-xgboost
This lead to the following error :
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done

Your python: python=3.8
If python is on the left-most side of the chain, that's the version you've asked for.
When python appears to the right, that indicates that the thing on the left is somehow
not available for the python version you are constrained to. Note that conda will not
change your python version to a different minor version unless you explicitly specify
that.
Decided not to followup this path, as exploring python downgrade was not an option for me.
2.There after i followed "The final attempt that works " on the below link :
https://medium.com/analytics-vidhya/this-is-what-you-should-do-if-you-fail-to-install-the-latest-or-an-older-version-of-xgboost-on-7942a7641eee
However i got the same error as other users faced ::

>>> exit()
BTW the link to download xgboost.dll as posted above -
https://picnet.com.au/blog/xgboost-windows-x64-binaries-for-download/
was not clear to me ,so i decided to not follow this thread.
3.Finally ,the solution was very simple for me,Open ANACONDA PROMPT and Type
(base) C:\Users\abhi.b>pip install xgboost
This lead to

Trouble installing pygame. Permissions Mac OS X 10.9.5

I have been struggling to find the correct research to install pygame for about 2 days and would like to ask the community to reach a solution!
My MacBook is a backup of my old MacBook so if that is the essence of the problem, I am open to suggestions to fix it!
On the installation front
donners-mbp-2:~ Donner$ brew list
cmake isl mercurial python smpeg
freetype jpeg mpfr readline sphinx-doc
gcc libmpc numpy sdl sqlite
gdbm libpng openssl sdl_image webp
git libtiff pkg-config sdl_mixer
gmp makedepend portmidi sdl_ttf
upon researching I should use this code in terminal to install however I receive an error message following:
donners-mbp-2:~ Donner$ /usr/local/share/python/pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
donners-mbp-2:~ Donner$ /usr/local/share/python/pip: No such file or directory
Taking a look into my "Home" Directory - AKA Macintosh HD - I have the Library directory within not in my user folder (AKA directly on the main HD).
Should I move that to my user folder then try again?
When running the pygame install here is what is on my command line.
donners-mbp-2:~ Donner$ sudo -H pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

(Posted on behalf of the OP).
This is solved.
I followed this to show hidden files in my $PATH and establish a new $PATH. https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/add-shell-path-osx/
Then un-installed and reinstalled pygame, following the comments here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/2jfj1w/how_to_install_pygame_on_osx_1095/. Specifically the comment by redditor PigBoyOhBoy (with some adjustments for Python 2.7 rather than Python 3).

Installation issues for Virtualenv and VirtualenvWrapper in Ubuntu 13.04

Ubuntu Server in VirtualBox. I am trying to install VirtualEnv to start learning Flask and bottle.
Some details of my setup.
vks#UbSrVb:~$ cat /etc/os-release

When I boot my Virtual Machine, I get the following error on my console
/usr/bin/python: No module named virtualenvwrapper
virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks.
If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader,
check that virtualenv has been installed for
VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python and that PATH is
set properly.
When i try to initialize a virtualenv I get the following errors
vks#UbSrVb:~/dropbox/venv$ virtualenv try1

Q1 - As per the error at bootup, How do I ensure virtualenv is installed for VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python and that PATH is
set properly ?
Q2 - Even with sudo I get the same "Read-only file system" Error ?
I have tried installing virtualenv using pip and then apt-get, just to hit and try.

Try setting your WORKON_HOME global to another path (~/.virtualenvs) for example a see if that works, maybe the problem is with that shared directory, are you using windows? If you are, try installing ntfs-3g, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/70281/why-does-my-ntfs-partition-mount-as-read-only
Also in my profile configuration file I like to detect first if virtualenvwrapper is installed:
if which virtualenvwrapper.sh &> /dev/null; then
WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
# path to virtualenvwrapper, in my case
source /usr/local/share/python/virtualenvwrapper.sh
fi

I had the problem where my pip was for a different version of python than the one I wanted to use.
$ python -V
Python 2.7.5+
$ pip -V
pip 1.5.4 from /usr/local/lib/python3.3/dist-packages (python 3.3)
So when I used pip to install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper, the new python packages were put in python3.3's dist-packages, so of course my python2.7 couldn't find them!
To fix this, I had to use the appropriate version of pip, in my case it was pip2.
$ pip2 -V
pip 1.5.4 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
So make sure you are using the appropriate version of pip.
