!pip install ktrain errors

Question

I am trying to install the ktrain package in Python (Using Jupyter Notebook) and I get a huge set of errors every time. I am on a Windows 10 laptop (if that contributes).

As of now, my code in jupyter has only had one line:

!pip install ktrain

I have Python 3.9 installed from python.org and run Jupyter using Anaconda (which uses Python 3.8), and I tried the following in command prompt:

pip install ktrain

pip3 install ktrain

and the following in anaconda prompt:

conda install ktrain

The one in anaconda prompt says

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - ktrain

And the ones in command prompt give the error shown in the following link:

https://www.codepile.net/pile/MN8kgG5W.

Note: I used this link for showing it since the message is too big and increases the number of characters in this post beyond the given limit.

How do I resolve it. Because using import ktrain says that:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-8-ccbda6fc29a3> in <module>
----> 1 import ktrain

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ktrain'

Also, just to clarify, I have NumPy installed since pip install numpy in cmd gives:

Requirement already satisfied: numpy in c:\users\parvj\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages (1.19.5)

Answer 1

I do not know if it is the case already, but it worked on Google Colaboratory.

Answer 2

Please follow the ktrain installation instructions for Windows in the ktrain FAQ, which says you need to install the Visual C++ redistributable.
