Failed building wheel (Conda Install) about probability

[Srceh]

Having the same issue.

My intuition is that, the error is caused by using a virtual environment within Anaconda.

The building wheel tries to look for setup.py in the system/user tmp path, which doesn't apply to a conda environment.

Adding "--no-cache-dir" to "pip install" seems to resolve the issue.

Hey Dave / Josh,
Do you know if this supported?

[neighthan]

I can confirm that @Srceh's solution works for me as well; I don't know if there's a way to detect that the user is using Anaconda and change this automatically, but as this solution is easy (and should be easy enough to find by somebody searching for the error message), I'll close this.

Thanks a lot bro. Worked for me.
