Fbprophet installation error - failed building wheel for fbprophet

Question

I am trying to install fbprophet for Python using Pip install, but failing. I have already installed Pystan.

Can I import it using Anaconda Navigator?

Can someone please help.

Fundamental step: Switch to your environment in your Anaconda prompt: conda activate name-of-your-python-enviornment

Then the following steps shall work:

On Prompt install Ephem:
```
conda install -c anaconda ephem
```
Install Pystan:
```
conda install -c conda-forge pystan
```
Finally install Fbprophet:
```
conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet
```
If exists error from holidays package
```
pip install holidays==0.9.12
```

Reference for Holiday package error: https://github.com/facebook/prophet/issues/1300

I got this to work after lowering my environment's Python version below 3.9 – PigSpider Jul 23 '21 at 23:33
This worked for me. I did not have to do the fundamental step nor step 4. Thanks! – Parseval Oct 28 '21 at 08:21
After a full day of wasting my time, thanks for this. Finally able to work. – ABD Jan 11 '22 at 14:16

I could install fbprophet using conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet. This was failing too due to permission issue My folder had 'read-only' permissions. I modified it to read-write. Then reran the command and was able to install fbprophet

So after I did

conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet

I got at the end:

EnvironmentNotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to the target environment.
  environment location: C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3

ProgramData is system folder, so changed r-w permissions(took few minutes), and I also did this for C:\Program Files\Python37 path with Lib folder.

For this stack:

CentOS: 7
Python: 3.8
GCC: 4.8.5
PyStan: 2.19.1.1
FbProphet: 0.7.1

You need these packages:

centos-release-scl devtoolset-8

Enable SCL devtoolset-8

source /opt/rh/devtoolset-8/enable

rh-python38-python rh-python38-python-devel
pip install pystan==2.19.1.1

Docker image with HTTPD MOD_WSGI and FBPROPHET...

FROM centos:7

EXPOSE 80

# Install Apache
RUN yum -y update
RUN yum -y install centos-release-scl
RUN yum -y install httpd httpd-tools rh-python38-python-mod_wsgi.x86_64 devtoolset-8-gcc devtoolset-8-gcc-c++ rh-python38-python rh-python38-python-devel

# Copy the wsgi module to Apache HTTP Server modules folder
RUN cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rh-python38-wsgi.so /lib64/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so

ENV PATH="/opt/rh/rh-python38/root/usr/bin:/opt/rh/rh-python38/root/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"

WORKDIR /
COPY ROOT .

WORKDIR /opt/rh/rh-python38/root
RUN ./usr/bin/python3 /etc/get-pip.py

RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-fb.sh && /usr/local/bin/install-fb.sh
RUN pip install -r /etc/requirements.txt

# Start Apache
CMD ["/usr/sbin/httpd","-D","FOREGROUND"]

The script install-fb.sh contains this code:

$ cat ROOT/usr/local/bin/install-fb.sh
#!/bin/bash
source /opt/rh/devtoolset-8/enable
pip install pystan==2.19.1.1 fbprophet==0.7.1

The reason to put it in its own script is the SCL enable line, to avoid the gcc not found error.

I hope this helps, getting all these software packages running together is not a piece of cake :)

FB prophet documentation recommends using conda for windows users as the easiest way for installing prophet. In my case, the following solved the problem (win10):

conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet -y

Create a virtual environment using:

conda create --name myenv

Activate the environment using:

conda activate myenv

Install ephem using:

conda install -c anaconda ephem

Install pystan using

conda install -c conda-forge pystan

Install the fbrprophet using

conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet

At the end install holidays:

pip install holidays==0.9.12

If it still doesn't work try this at last:

conda install psycopg2

The fbprophet package has been renamed to prophet. Using below command in Anaconda prompt worked for me:

pip install prophet

then you can import using below command:

from prophet import Prophet

After a lot of research, I found the solution for installing fbprophet on windows 10.

Step 1: Check the kernel in jupyter. Locate the folder \jupyter\kernels\python3 and check the python exe location used by the kernel. Mine was pointing to - Programs\Python\Python37\python.exe open CMD prompt and go to above dir.

I am skipping pystan installation as I already installed pystan using pip command.

Step 2 : Download the file "Twisted-20.3.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl" from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted

python -m pip install /Twisted-20.3.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

Step 3 : pip install fbprophet

Installing collected packages: fbprophet Successfully installed fbprophet-0.6

Step 4 : python

import fbprophet

fbprophet.version

'0.6'

What is Twisted? Why is it necessary here? – Jeremy Caney May 19 '20 at 02:53 — Jeremy Caney, May 19 '20 at 02:53

'prophet' and 'fbprophet' are the same library except different versions. fbprophet was renamed with the introduction of Prophet and it is the latest and greatest. you dont need both as they each have their own dependencies for supporting libraries such as pystan – odonnry Jan 12 '22 at 15:39
Yes but somehow using both commands at same time worked for me. – Amarpreet Singh Jan 13 '22 at 04:48
