Running setup.py install for fbprophet ... error

Question

I cannot install fbprophet or gcc7.

I have manually installed a precompiled ephem.

Running setup.py install for fbprophet ... error

I have tried with python 3.6 and 3.7. I have tried running as administrator and without.

My anaconda prompt cannot install anything without throwing errors. I would rather use pip.

The problem may be related to pystan.

File "d:\python37\lib\site-packages\pystan\api.py", line 13, in <module> import pystan._api  # stanc wrapper
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I am using windows 10.

Run `python -c "from pip._internal.pep425tags import get_supported; print(get_supported()[0])"` from the terminal and post the output here. Make sure to use the desired target version of Python, e.g. `py -3.7` instead of `python` in command if needed. — hoefling, Jun 21 '19 at 12:30

Use: The first step is to remove pystan and cache:

pip uninstall fbprophet pystan
pip --no-cache-dir install pystan==2.17  #any version
pip --no-cache-dir install fbprophet==0.2 #any version
conda install Cython --force

pip install pystan
conda install pystan -c conda-forge
conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet

It creates a wheel and update the environment necessary for the package. pip install fbprophet creates the similar issue.

Be sure that pystan is working.

import pystan
model_code = 'parameters {real y;} model {y ~ normal(0,1);}'
model = pystan.StanModel(model_code=model_code)
y = model.sampling().extract()['y']
y.mean()  # with luck the result will be near 0

Thank you for your reply. No PyStan isn't working even though it said it successfully installed. How can I correctly install PyStan? – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 10:39
@CamK Great. You can install: pip install pystan, also use the link in the answer which is: https://pystan.readthedocs.io/en/latest/windows.html – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 10:41
@CamK I updated answer, let's remove pystan and cache and install it again. – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 10:46

I receive that error when I run the second line "pip --no-cache-dir install pystan==2.17" – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 11:00
@CamK remove its version and just run: "pip3 --no-cache-dir install pystan" – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 11:02
When I try pip --no-cache-dir install fbprophet, I still receive Running setup.py install for fbprophet ... error – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 11:12
@CamK try to skip it or remove version and just run: "pip --no-cache-dir install fbprophet" – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 11:15
Sadly, it gives the same error. I've added a picture. – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 11:16
@CamK Do you have VS2015? or VS2017? another is, please run anaconda as administrator. – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 11:20
@CamK Please look at new answer for how to install pystan – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 11:32

Reason: The python distribution on Anaconda3 uses an old version of gcc (4.2.x)

Please use anaconda prompt as administrator

set a new environment for a stan

conda create -n stan python=<your_version> numpy cython

install pystan and gcc inside the virtual environment.

conda activate stan

or

source activate stan
(stan)  pip install pystan
(stan)  pip install gcc

verify your gcc version:

gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.8.5

My anaconda prompt fails to install anything due to ipykernel. That's a separate issue. I cannot install gcc on pip. pip install gcc7 "cannot find a version" – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 11:38
You should use one of these: conda activate stan or source activate stan but not both. – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 11:42
That issue is because of your environment (stan), I have python 3.7.3 and Visual Studio 2017 and run my anaconda as administrator and I could install pystan. Look at the picture I uploaded in answer. – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 11:45
I am using python 3.7.0 with visual studio 2017 . When I run pip install gcc I get ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement gcc (from versions: none) – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 11:57
@CamK, Great, you can skip gcc and follow my last answer – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 11:58

To solve this problem, I uninstalled my existing python 3.7 and anaconda. I re-installed anaconda with one key difference.

I registered Anaconda as my default Python 3.7 during the Anaconda installation. This lets visual studio, PyDev and other programs automatically detect Anaconda as the primary version to use.

I tried to import fbprophet on Python Anaconda, however, I got some errors.

This code works for me..

conda install -c conda-forge/label/cf201901 fbprophet

I used the following steps to install fbprophet 0.7.1 on windows 10 (2022-03-10):

Install anaconda here.
Install pystan by following this guide. The main line I used was conda install libpython m2w64-toolchain -c msys2. Then, install pystan using pip install pystan
Check your installation by running the following in a python terminal:

>>> import pystan
>>> model_code = 'parameters {real y;} model {y ~ normal(0,1);}'
>>> model = pystan.StanModel(model_code=model_code)
>>> y = model.sampling().extract()['y']
>>> y.mean()  # with luck the result will be near 0

If the above works, proceed to install fbprophet with pip install fbprophet

Hope this works for you!

If all of the answers did not work lets clone pystan and do not use the above solutions:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/stan-dev/pystan.git
cd pystan
python setup.py install

Should I be using pip or anaconda? – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 12:08
@CamK Search anaconda prompt and right click and select "run as administrator" , then run my last answer – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 12:12

Honestly I feel that I may have to completely re-install anaconda and start from scratch. – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 12:23
Dear @CamK I am sure it is because of your env, please look at env, for example for me is: (base) C:\Windows\system32> git clone --recursive https://github.com/stan-dev/pystan.git , check your env, if you select Anaconda prompt then it is by default on the root. – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 12:28
My environment is (base) C:\WINDOWS\system32> and I am running as an administrator. It may be a permissions problem. – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 12:32
ok, run cd.., then cd.., cd where you create" pystan" or in your anaconda, then follow above git clone – Mahsa Hassankashi Jun 21 '19 at 12:34
I changed my folder to my pystan folder. I then tried git clone --recursive https://github.com/stan-dev/pystan.git . I received the following error error: unable to create file lib/boost_1.69.0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/reference/spatial_indexes/boost__geometry__index__rtree/rtree_parameters_type_const____indexable_getter_const____value_equal_const____allocator_type_const___.html: Filename too long – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 16:27
I will now re-install anaconda – Cam K Jun 21 '19 at 16:28

It looks like fbprophet renamed to prophet on the FB side, so this command worked for me (Windows 10 + VSCode + Python 3.10.2)

pip install prophet --no-cache-dir
