I'm attempting to make a website with a few others for the first time, and have run into a weird error when trying to use Django/Python/VirtualEnv. I've found solutions to this problem for other operating systems, such as Ubuntu, but can't find any good solutions for Mac.
This is the relevant code being run:
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
After running that block, I get the following errors:
AssertionError
Failed building wheel for django-toolbelt
Running setup.py bdist_wheel for psycopg2
...
AssertionError
Failed building wheel for psycopg2
Failed to build django-toolbelt psycopg2
I believe I've installed the "django-toolbelt" and "psycopg2", so I'm not sure why it would be failing.
The only difference I can think of is that I did not use the command
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
as was instructed for Ubuntu usage as I believe that installing postgresql with brew took care of the header.
Thanks for any help or insight!
For MacOS users
After trying all the above methods (which did not work for me on MacOS 10.14), that one worked :
Install openssl with brew install openssl if you don't have it already.
add openssl path to LIBRARY_PATH :
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/
install psycopg2 with pip pip3 install psycopg2
I had the same problem on Arch linux. I think that it's not an OS dependant problem. Anyway, I fixed this by finding the outdated packages and updating then.
pip uninstall psycopg2
pip list --outdated
pip install --upgrade wheel
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install psycopg2
I was also getting same error.
Using Python 3.7.3 and pip 19.1.1.
I used following command.
pip install psycopg2-binary==2.8.3
TDLR
If you aren't used to installing Python C-extensions, and psycopg2 isn't a core part of your work, try
pip install psycopg2-binary
Building Locally
psycopg2 is a C-extension, so it requires compilation when being installed by pip. The Build Prerequisites section of the docs explain what must be done to make installation via pip possible. In summary (for psycopg 2.8.5):
a C compiler must be installed on the machine
the Python header files must be installed
the libpq header files must be installed
the pg_config program must be installed (it usually comes with the libpq headers) and on $PATH.
With these prerequisites satisfied, pip install psycopg2 ought to succeed.
Installing pre-compiled wheels
Alternatively, pip can install pre-compiled binaries so that compilation (and the associated setup) is not required. They can be installed like this:
pip install psycopg2-binary
The docs note that
The psycopg2-binary package is meant for beginners to start playing with Python and PostgreSQL without the need to meet the build requirements.
but I would suggest that psycopg2-binary is often good enough for local development work if you are not using psycopg2 directly, but just as a dependency.
Concluding advice
Read the informative installation documentation, not only to overcome installation issues but also to understand the impact of using the pre-compiled binaries in some scenarios.
I had same problem and this appears to be a Mojave Issue, I was able to resolve with:
sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /
For Mac OS X users:
1. First check your postgresql path by running this command in terminal:
pg_config
If this fails lookup how to add pg_config to your path.
2. Next install Xcode Tools by running this command in terminal:
xcode-select --install
If you have both those sorted out now try to install psycopg2 again
For MacOS users, this question has the correct solution:
install command line tools if necessary:
xcode-select --install
then
env LDFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" pip install psycopg2
I was also facing the same after running all the above commands, but the following two commands worked for me:
Instead of pip, use this:
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
then run this command:
pip install psycopg2
On OS X, I was able to solve this by simply upgrading wheel before installing psycopg2:
pip install --upgrade wheel
For OSX Sierra users, it seems that an xcode update is the solution: Can't install psycopg2 package through pip install... Is this because of Sierra?
I tried all the above solutions but they did not work for me. What I did was change the psycopg2 version in my requirements.txt file from psycopg2==2.7.4 to psycopg2==2.7.6
Is your error message complete? the most encountered reason for failing to install psycopg2 on mac from pip is pg_config is not in path.
by the way, using macports or fink to install psycopg2 is more recommended way, so you don't have to worry about pg_config, libpq-dev and python-dev.
plus, are using Python 3.5? then upgrage your wheel to > 0.25.0 using pip.
I faced the same issue, but the answers above didn't work for me.
So this is what I did in my requirements.txt
psycopg2-binary==2.7.6.1 and it worked fine
I had this issue on several packages, including psycopg2, numpy, and pandas. I simply removed the version from the requirements.txt file, and it worked.
So instead of psycopg2-binary==2.7.6.1 I just had psycopg2-binary.
I know you are asking for development environment but if you are deploying on server say, Heroku. Just add below line in the requirements.txt of your project.
django-heroku==0.3.1
As this package itself will install the required packages like psycopg2 on server deployment.So let the server(heroku) should take care of it.
sudo apt install libpq-dev python3.X-dev
where X is the sub version,
these should be followed by :
pip install --upgrade wheel
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install psycopg2
Enjoy !!!
I solved my problem by updating/installing vs_BuildTools. The link to the software was given in the error itself.
Error Image
Fixed by installing python3.7-dev: sudo apt install python3.7-dev, based on the link.
Python: 3.7
Ubuntu: 20.04.3 LTS
I was previously running into environment inconsistencies after downloading tensorflow with pip in a conda environment, and after several hours of frustration, decided deleting anaconda/miniconda and python and starting from scratch would be my best option to get python working again (The inconsistencies were causing a plethora of issues with loading other modules like numpy, etc).
After downloading Python version 3.9.10 directly from https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/, I wanted to see if I could start using Python again in a Jupyter notebook in VS Code. When I try to run a simple print('hello world') in a python chunk I (unsurprisingly) get the following error:
Jupyter cannot be started. Error attempting to locate jupyter: Running cells with 'Python 3.9.10 64-bit' requires notebook package.
Run the following command to install 'jupyter and notebook' into the Python environment.
Command: 'python -m pip install jupyter notebook -U'
I was pretty much expecting this error, since I knew I had deleted all packages when deleting Anaconda and Python.
However, when I try running python -m pip install jupyter notebook -U in the terminal I ultimately get the following error:
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1
[end of output]
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: legacy-install-failure
× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> psutil
note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated! I am on MacOS (M1) if that is useful information.
The problem seems to be with the python3 distribution that comes with MacOSX Command Line Tools. Well, at least that same error was gone after following these steps.
So, to fix the problem I installed python3.9 (I presume you can change 3.9 to your desired version, e.g. 3.8 or 3.10) using Homebrew.
Install Homebrew (to check if it's installed already just type brew --version in the terminal):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Install python3.9
brew install python#3.9
Create your virtual environment
python3.9 -m venv myvenv
Activate the virtual environment with source myvenv/bin/activate
Finally, install Jupyter using
(myvenv) pip install jupyter notebook
I have the same problem when installing the Jupyter notebook on MacOS 12.5 M2 chip. It turns out that the error is caused by not having GCC on my mac to run the wheel for installing the psutil package because for some reason I removed my XCode from my Mac. So I installed XCode from AppStore and opened XCode after the installation to agree to its terms and conditions. After Xcode went through the setup process I tried pip install jupyter again and it worked well.
In my case, I just opened the XCode, accept the terms and the installation proposed, and tried to install the jupyter again and it worked!
It seems to be very particular about the version of python installed. I set up a fresh installation on a new box this morning and put 3.11 on there. pip install jupyterlabs gave me the same error as you got. I then uninstalled python and installed an earlier version, and now it works.
PS the older version that worked for me is 3.10.8
I'am trying to reproduce the Docker Installation of the Book "Mining the Social Web" (Russel/Klassen) on Ubuntu 20.04. I set up Docker and tried to create the Docker container from the respository directly (repo2docker https://github.com/mikhailklassen/Mining-the-Social-Web-3rd-Edition) for opening the Jupyter Notebook, but I got ERRORS. Before I installed Python3 and pip3 (couldn't install just Python and pip).
Got this multiple inside the running code:
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.
(cannot fix the problem with the link inside)
and this ERROR at the End of Code:
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'terminado'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
Removing intermediate container 71cfe8e913dd
The command '/bin/sh -c ${KERNEL_PYTHON_PREFIX}/bin/pip install --no-cache-dir -r "binder/requirements.txt"' returned a non-zero code:1
Maybe somebody can help me? thx a lot!
Solution to your issue, don't use docker as it won't be able to uninstall the tornado package which is a pure distutil package due to pip install instructions. Use below solution:
I work on virtual envs, and would recommend you to do the same.
Clone the repo
navigate to /binder
execute pip install --ignore-installed -r requirements.txt
navigate to /notebooks
Execute jupyter notebook
From the answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67134670/1290868
For me it was this line in requirements.txt;
...
jupyterlab>=1.0
....
removed the version part (">=1.0") and it worked;
...
jupyterlab
....
I was tying to update jupyter notebook / jupyterlab and had issues with terminado, not sure what it is. Even after uninstalling it, it was avl (not sure why).
Hence, I uninstalled jupyterlab and installed it back again.
I am trying to install TensorFlow. The installation instruction for Windows (https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_windows) have as first step to install Python 3.5.2. And I'm doing the 'TensorFlow with CPU support only'.
Python was successfully installed in my computer as I can run it via the Start menu.
However, when I try to do the 2nd step of the installation instructions in order to install TensorFlow, this step says to:
To install TensorFlow, start a terminal. Then issue the appropriate pip3 install command in that terminal. To install the CPU-only version of TensorFlow, enter the following command:
C:\> pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
But I'm getting an error when I perform the above statement, the error is
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, oprable program or batch file.
I looked at several postings in StackOverflow and tried the commands provided in one of the postings, but I would get the same type of error.
So, how is 'pip3' installed? from what I read, it is supposed to be installed together with the installation, but obviously that did not happen.
How do I install it? I need to install TensorFlow and it seems that it needs to be done via the pip3 installation tool.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Either set the system environment path variable to include the python 3.5.x path in it, or just cd into the correct python folder to run pip3 from there.
The folder in windows 10 should be something like this:
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Scripts
Open the terminal, cd to that path (change YOUR_USERNAME to the correct user) and then just run the following command:
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
and if you want the gpu version:
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow-gpu
Pip3 is already installed when you install Python, so there is no need to do anything else.
I want to install fastkde library and I did actually everything on web but I am yet able to install this. I constantly get this error in terminal:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-4ff4dzcb/fastkde/
Can anybody help me with this?
If you've pip installed which is true for all distributions downloaded from here, then just key in the commands in your terminal given below.
pip3 install fastkde
