pip install pysall - failed to build rvlib

Question

I want to install the package pysal. I have tried using 'pip install pysal', and I already have all of its dependencies installed. This is the error I get:

python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully. exit code: 1

then

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. ERROR: Failed building wheel for rvlib Running setup.py clean for rvlib Failed to build rvlib ERROR: Could not build wheels for rvlib, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I would be very appreciative of any help.

Answer 1

Even I have had the same issues for a while. I found that there are certain problems with installation of PySAL dependencies. And problem was with construction rvlib within local systems via PyPI or pip. Therefore, Step1 would be - create a seperate environment for PySAL in Conda and run the following lines.

pip install segregation==2.0.0
pip install pysal==2.5.0

For more information check https://github.com/pysal/pysal/issues/1267

The above solution should work. However, if you want to install using pip install pysal, try using conda install rvlib and check https://github.com/QuantEcon/rvlib/issues/29 to know more.

Moreover, I did not test with installation of rvlib as the former method sufficiently well on Windows.
