I'm trying to install Autodock Vina with pip command. But when I run the command pip install -U numpy vina: I get a the following error:

I have had a similar issue and fixed it by installing boost and swig libraries. Unfortunately, I do not completely know how to do that on Windows, but the rough sketch of what you should do is:

  1. Locate your active conda environment. If there are none, create and activate one before installing your project dependencies. To get to know the location of your environment, use conda info. For more, see this stackoverflow thread.
  2. Download boost and swig as archives from these links to their official website.
  3. Unpack the archives into the conda environment folder.
  4. Try installing again (make sure you have activated the environment) pip install -U numpy vina.

For the Linux and MacOS users that may have the same issue, the solution is very similar, except that you do not have to activate a conda environment. Instead, you can install boost and swig globally in your system, as described in this guide in the autodock-vina website.

  1. Install C++ compiler.

Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install build-essentials

macOS: Install Xcode from the AppStore and the Command Line Tools (CLT) from the terminal xcode-select --install

  1. Install boost and swig in your system

Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev swig

macOS (with Homebrew): brew install boost swig
