I am building a recommendation engine and am not able to install surprise, i thought the problem was because i didn't have a c compiler(since i found some people saying it would solve the problem) so i installed it too but couldn't solve anything. i even tried runing the pip install on my command prompt and it gave an error.

    You forgot the `!` before `pip`. So, the command should be `!pip install scikit-surprise` – Anwarvic May 27 '20 at 11:47
  • you should use `!pip instal ...` – Brown Bear May 27 '20 at 11:47

Some users have suggested that i use '!' before pip but pip install works fine for me all the time as u see in the picture for numpy.

the solution i found for this was

Step 1 : Go to anaconda command prompt

Step 2 : Type conda install -c conda-forge scikit-surprise

i hope this is helpful to anyone who encounters this error in the future.

I found the solution, change your enviroment interpreter to python <= 3.7 version

scikit-surprise it´s not support for greater version of python.

For more information see also https://pypi.org/project/scikit-surprise/

I found the solution for me as to first update all my conda packages and then install scikit-surprise. You can follow the steps as well if it works out for you:

  1. Go to anaconda command prompt
  2. Type conda update --all
  3. Type conda install -c conda-forge scikit-surprise

Also I'm running python 3.8.8.

The key error is in Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. You have to download supporting build tools for C++(sometimes just downloading it from MS website wont work), if you are using visual studio 2022 for python development, you have to modify your installer and download missing build tools, I think its titled "Desktop Development with C++ (not just python developer/IDE) and check almost all tools", however it consumes bit of system space, however it sorted this problem of installing many packages in python which was not working otherwise.

I was able to install it on python 3.7 after installing python3.7-dev

I found the solution in this link https://github.com/NicolasHug/Surprise/issues/283#issuecomment-515878185

Try this in shell: pip install scikit-surprise==1.0.4

    Your answer can be improved by adding other supporting material. This looks more like a comment right now. – Abhyuday Vaish May 31 '22 at 04:21
  • Where are you suggesting they run that @Joerude? On command line/terminal or in a cell inside the notebook? If the latter, that is working behind the scenes with the magics `%pip install ` because auto-magics is usually on by default. See more about the modern `%pip install` and `%conda install` magics [here](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/why-users-can-install-modules-from-pip-but-not-from-conda/10722/4?u=fomightez). Short-version, PRO-TIP: Avoid using an exclamation with `pip` & `conda` these days & use the magic command that insures installation to correct environment. – Wayne May 31 '22 at 16:38
