Trying to install PyCaret

Question

I am trying to install PyCaret[full] on a new machine.

within an environment, I got the below error. Doesn't seem to be much information around it!

Here is the packages in the environment:

# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
ca-certificates           2022.10.11           haa95532_0

vc                        14.2                 h21ff451_1
vs2015_runtime            14.27.29016          h5e58377_2
wheel                     0.37.1             pyhd3eb1b0_0
wincertstore              0.2              py38haa95532_2

My first error was related to Python package so I installed older version. Now I have the below error:

I would recommend a few things here:

(1) The current version of pycaret is 2.3.10. Try not to install the [full] version if possible since it may install lot of libraries that you may not end up using. If you do need a library from [full] install it manually if possible.

(2) You can try the pre-release version of pycaret 3.0.0. This has a lighter footprint and is often easier to install.

pip install -U --pre pycaret

also, sometimes pip install pycaret[full] doesn't work, try without it and it might just go through
