fails to install conda install lightfm about lightfm

[ModMaamari]

@maciejkula
I Googled it and found many solutions , but none of them worked for me (in Python 3.6)

but when I installed Anaconda , and used conda install -c conda-forge lightfm it worked smoothly .

now I want to install LightFM using pip install lightfm , in (Python 3.6 environment), not in Anaconda

[maciejkula]

You can also try downloading the binary wheel from here (assuming you use Python 3.6), and installing it by running pip install lightfm-1.13-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl.

Hey, I am trying to install lighfm in pycharm and facing the same error. I read the comments, @rakshithvasudev uninstalled miniconda and later on installed anaconda. I am confused, what should I do in this case! Here is the error:

[maciejkula]

Thank you for all the issues. Have you tried pip install lightfm within your Conda virtualenv?

[danlou]

I believe you need to specify the channel. I got it installed with:

conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/mlgill lightfm

[maciejkula]

I'll go ahead and submit official packages to the conda repositories in the next couple of days.

[jariel17]

@maciejkula I tried pip install lightfm in a conda virtualenv but still fails the installation with the message:

Failed building wheel for lightfm
error: option --all not recognized

[maciejkula]

Have you got an up-to-date version of pip? It might be helpful if you post the entire pip output.

[jariel17]

[maciejkula]

It looks like you're trying to use the MSVC compiler and failing: error: command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory.

I don't have access to a Windows machine so I'm afraid I will be of limited help in debugging this.

[MrPhilosopher]

I got it installed by running pip install lightfm using cmd.

[RedoineReddad]

hey @jariel17 I have the exact same issue, did you manage to find a solution?

[rakshithvasudev]

Hey @maciejkula, this is a great package. I wish I could get it installed via conda. Unfortunately, it doesn't even install via pip. Is it possible for you to submit files to anaconda? Or can somebody please help me have a workaround to install this package?

PS: I'm using Win 10 x64.
This is what it says during pip install:

I will look at building and distributing binary wheels for LightFM. In the meantime, could you try installing the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler?

[rakshithvasudev]

I tried after installing Microsoft Visual C++ compiler now, unfortunately, no luck!
I had trouble installing Scipy via pip. That's why I switched to Miniconda. Now looks like that's biting me back. Here is what it says:

  `setup.py clean` is not supported, use one of the following instead:

    - `git clean -xdf` (cleans all files)
    - `git clean -Xdf` (cleans all versioned files, doesn't touch

  Add `--force` to your command to use it anyway if you must (unsupported).

Thanks for your response.

It looks like there is something wrong with your miniconda installation. Try installing scipy from conda?

[rakshithvasudev]

It has already been installed. Conda did all the pre req installation when I wanted to install Sklearn.

[maciejkula]

Are you sure? It doesn't look like you have any linear algebra libraries which makes me doubt you even have numpy?

[maciejkula]

Correction: you seem to have numpy but without atlas/blas/mkl, which is unusual. Try conda install scipy.

I uninstalled miniconda and installed anaconda. It works with pip install pip install lightfm now. I've finally installed lightfm. Thanks for your replies @maciejkula. Appreciate your help.

When I tried to install lightfm by :
pip install lightfm
and I got an error :
error: command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory

[maciejkula]

Hey @Mohammed-Maamari, have you Googled it? Do those solutions not work for you?

[haniyrasul]

This might work:
pip install lightfm --upgrade --ignore-installed scipy
