I am trying to setup evalai-cli using pip, but i am facing problems during setup when i try to run

pip install evalai

Could not find function xmlCheckVersion in library libxml2. Is libxml2 installed?

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: command: 'c:\users\amana\evalai-cli\venv\scripts\python.exe' -u -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'C:\Users\amana\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-iwb_ci9r\lxml\setup.py'"'"'; file='"'"'C:\Users\amana\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-iwb_ci9r\lxml\setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' install --record 'C:\Users\amana\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-record-tu5o2fvl\install-record.txt' --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers 'c:\users\amana\evalai-cli\venv\include\site\python3.8\lxml' cwd: C:\Users\amana\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-iwb_ci9r\lxml\

ERROR: b"'xslt-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,\r\noperable program or batch file.\r\n" ** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed **

I have installed lxml using easy_install lxml & www.lfd.uci.edu but still the problem remains I am on windows 10 64 bit running python 38

Try to go to https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
then you download the file lxml-4.4.2-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
then open the Command and navigate to the folder containing the file lxml-4.4.2-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
then run the Command pip install lxml-4.4.2-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

  • Try to download the 32bit ```lxml-4.4.2-cp38-cp38-win32.whl``` then install it. maybe the python you installed is 32bit. @AmanSa – Kevin Dec 07 '19 at 07:44
  • Like me, I use Windows 10 64bit but install Python 3.8.0 32bit. @AmanSa – Kevin Dec 07 '19 at 07:47
  • Earlier it was so, but now i have 64 bit – Aman Sa Dec 07 '19 at 07:47
