Error while installing turicreate using pip ...while building wheel for llvmlite

Question

I am trying to install turicreate using pip install turicreate but receive the error below. I don't know what this error is telling me to do.

Someone in the comments asked if I installed llvm correctly. How would I do this?

I tried upgrading Scipy using pip install --upgrade scipy but this did not help.

Answer 1

Here's the important part of your error, hidden right in the middle

RuntimeError: llvm-config failed executing, please point LLVM_CONFIG to the path for llvm-config

This probably means you have to set LLVM_CONFIG in your ~/.bashrc, something like

export LLVM_CONFIG=/usr/local/opt/llvm@9/bin/llvm-config

After doing that, remember to source it

source ~/.bashrc or . ~/.bashrc

Answer 2

I faced the issue with llvmlite when I was trying to install tslearn with python3.9. After so much struggling with different versions and github communities, I came up with the solution to install the llvmlite with python3.8 which works pretty fine. I tried installing using python3.9 and also python2.7 but they probably have some version supporting issues when installing llvmlite.

Answer 3

For the second error, you are going to need to install scipy version 1.2.2 specifically.

pip install 'scipy==1.2.2'
