I am trying to install Snowflake SQLAlchemy with the command pip install snowflake-sqlalchemy but it fails to install because pyarrow wheels cannot be built (because cmake cannot be found).
error: command 'cmake' failed: No such file or directory
[end of output]
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for pyarrow
Failed to build pyarrow
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pyarrow, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects
I have tried installing cmake with pip install cmake and installing pyarrow with pip install pyarrow and neither have worked. I already installed the python connector with pip install snowflake-connector-python. I am using Python 3.11.1 on a Mac.
Seems like pyarrow is not compatible (even though the website says it is) with Python 3.11. Downgrading to Python 3.9 worked.
I try to install metaploit, but every time I get errors and I can't get it to work.
During installation I get the following error code:
pip install --upgrade streamlit
(Deleted a lot of irrelevant information)

I have already tried the following:
Re-install Pycharm and Python and install the 64 bit version. (Running no other python or program)
Tried different versions of the packages.
Deleted & Re-installed packages.
Finding a solution on google.
(Latest python, pycharm version and all the packages I updated to the lastest versions.)
Tried these commands:
pip uninstall streamlit
pip uninstall wheel
pip uninstall setuptools
pip uninstall pip
pip install --upgrade streamlit
pip install --upgrade matplotlib
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install --upgrade wheel
pip install --upgrade pyarrow
pip install --upgrade cmake
Are you using Python 3.11? Because in that case, it's described in this issue: pyarrow doesn't support Python 3.11 yet (here is the PR in pyarrow's github, it'll arrive in the next release). So either you simply wait until that is released, or you install Python 3.10 until then.
As of today, there is not pyarrow for Python 3.11 on wheel with precompiled binaries. That means you have two options:
Build it yourself which is quite a ride [pyarrow documentation]
Use pip with the nightly build [pyarrow documentation] which is reasonable:
pip install --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/arrow-nightlies/ \
--prefer-binary --pre pyarrow
The main error here you are getting is,
No module named 'cmake'
While you have gotten to the depths of the problem and tried a few other solutions I wonder what this one returned as a result.
pip install --upgrade cmake
I tried to download cmake into a new virtualenvironment and it worked just fine. I would also suggest that you start a new environment start by building cmake and go along with whatever you are gonna install next.
I tried installing with pipenv install pymssql and it failed
Then tried with pip install pymssql but import pymssql not working in Mac OS (Big Sur 11.5.2)
Also tried pip3 install pymssql==2.1.5 it gave error as
error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit code 1
----------------------------------------
ERROR: Failed building wheel for pymssql
Failed to build pymssql
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pymssql which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly
I resolved the issue by following below steps
brew install freetds
brew install unixodbc
brew tap microsoft/mssql-release https://github.com/Microsoft/homebrew-mssql-release
brew update
brew install msodbcsql mssql-tools
This is a truly popular question here at SO, but none of the many answers I have looked at, clearly explain what this error really mean, and why it occurs.
One source of confusion, is that when (for example) you do pip install pycparser, you first get the error:
Failed building wheel for pycparser
which is then followed by the message that the package was:
Successfully installed pycparser-2.19.
# pip3 install pycparser

What is going on here?
(I would like to understand how something can fail but still get installed and whether you can trust this package functioning correctly?)
So far the best partial explanation I have found is this.
(pip maintainer here!)
For a quick copy paste:
pip install wheel
Do that in every new virtual environment created with venv.
Read on for the details and explaination.
If the package is not a wheel, pip tries to build a wheel for it (via setup.py bdist_wheel). If that fails for any reason (like, missing system level libraries, incompatibilities with your system, bad version string in the built wheel, etc), you get the "Failed building wheel for {...}" message.
In some of these cases, currently, pip falls back to installing via setup.py install, so it's possible that the installation still succeeds. That said, pip always tries to install packages via wheels as often as it can. This is because of various advantages of using wheels (like faster installs, cache-able, not executing code again etc) and the fact that it is a standardizd format; unlike the (deprecated) setup.py install interface.
Your error message here is due to the wheel package being missing, which contains the logic required to build the wheels in setup.py bdist_wheel. (pip install wheel can fix that -- but it won't fix any build time issues due to system configuration)
Sometime in the future, we'll switch to a more modern build system by default (if you're a package author, you can opt-in by adding a pyproject.toml) that will solve this issue, through isolated build environments where you will have wheel installed. :)
PEP 517: A build-system independent format for source trees
A blog post on "PEP 517 and 518 in Plain English"
Yesterday, I got the same error: Failed building wheel for hddfancontrol when I ran pip3 install hddfancontrol. The result was Failed to build hddfancontrol. The cause was error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel' and Running setup.py bdist_wheel for hddfancontrol ... error. The error was fixed by running the following:
pip3 install wheel
(From here.)
Alternatively, the "wheel" can be downloaded directly from here. When downloaded, it can be installed by running the following:
pip3 install "/the/file_path/to/wheel-0.32.3-py2.py3-none-any.whl"
Since, nobody seem to mention this apart myself. My own solution to the above problem is most often to make sure to disable the cached copy by using: pip install <package> --no-cache-dir.
In my case, update the pip versión after create the venv, this update pip from 9.0.1 to 20.3.1
python3 -m venv env/python
source env/python/bin/activate
pip3 install pip --upgrade
But, the message was...
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for django-avatar, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
Then, I install wheel package after update pip
python3 -m venv env/python
source env/python/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install wheel
And the message was...
Building wheel for django-avatar (setup.py): started
default: Building wheel for django-avatar (setup.py): finished with status 'done'
It might be helpful to address this question from a package deployment perspective.
There are many tutorials out there that explain how to publish a package to PyPi. Below are a couple I have used;
medium
real python
My experience is that most of these tutorials only have you use the .tar of the source, not a wheel. Thus, when installing packages created using these tutorials, I've received the "Failed to build wheel" error.
I later found the link on PyPi to the Python Software Foundation's docs PSF Docs. I discovered that their setup and build process is slightly different, and does indeed included building a wheel file.
After using the officially documented method, I no longer received the error when installing my packages.
So, the error might simply be a matter of how the developer packaged and deployed the project. None of us were born knowing how to use PyPi, and if they happened upon the wrong tutorial -- well, you can fill in the blanks.
I'm sure that is not the only reason for the error, but I'm willing to bet that is a major reason for it.
Error :

issue : while installing opencv python via
pip3 install opencv-python
Problem with the CMake installation, aborting build. CMake executable is cmake
----------------------------------------
Failed building wheel for opencv-python
Running setup.py clean for opencv-python
What worked for me
pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
After this you still might received fallowing error error
from .cv2 import *
ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Installing libgl solved the error for me.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-glx
Hope this helps
This error mostly comes up when you do not have the required packages needed by wheel.
If you are using python3, then install python3-dev or python2-dev if you are using python 2.
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
or
sudo apt-get install python2-dev
Try this:
sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev libpq-dev
It has worked for me when I have installed these two.
See the link here for more information
On Ubuntu 18.04, I ran into this issue because the apt package for wheel does not include the wheel command. I think pip tries to import the wheel python package, and if that succeeds assumes that the wheel command is also available. Ubuntu breaks that assumption.
The apt python3 code package is named python3-wheel. This is installed automatically because python3-pip recommends it.
The apt python3 wheel command package is named python-wheel-common. Installing this too fixes the "failed building wheel" errors for me.
I got the same message when I tried to install
pip install django-imagekit.
So I ran
pip install wheel
(I had python 2.7) and then I reran pip install django-imagekit and it worked.
I had the same problem while installing Brotli
ERROR
Failed building wheel for Brotli
I solved it by downloading the .whl file from here
and installing it using the below command
C:\Users\{user_name}\Downloads>pip install Brotli-1.0.9-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
I stuck with this problem for several hours when I was trying to install a package that requires 'isal', but isal installation failed:
----------------------------------------
ERROR: Failed building wheel for isal
Failed to build isal
ERROR: Could not build wheels for isal which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly
The solution that works for me is installing libtool.
yum install libtool
I would like to add that if you only have Python3 on your system then you need to start using pip3 instead of pip.
You can install pip3 using the following command;
sudo apt install python3-pip -y
After this you can try to install the package you need with;
sudo pip3 install <package>
I was trying to install python-nmap tool, and getting this error.
If you are on Linux platform, please make sure that the nmap tool is installed, otherwise the library python-nmap won't work.
On Red Hat based distribution, please install nmap CLI as follow:
sudo yum install namp
This may Help you ! ....
Uninstalling pycparser:
pip uninstall pycparser
Reinstall pycparser:
pip install pycparser
I got same error while installing termcolor and I fixed it by reinstalling it .
I am trying to install a package on a python project but having some issues with python-Levenshtein library. I'm using a virtual environment on PyCharm which is running with Python3.8 and installed all libraries in requirements.txt with pip. However I am not able to install this library.
What I've tried so far:
try to install with pip and pip3
try to install with anaconda
try to install with brew (to make sure it's not like matplotlib here)
I share the error message below. Could you help me to solve this problem

P.S. It works for me.
I've found the solution and explain it for those who suffers from the same thing. Macbook comes with its own python in usr/bin/python and user/bin/python3 and first I used them as base interpreter however I faced that issue. I think default pythons don't include some essentials.
The solution is installing your python and giving its path as the base interpreter. After that pip is able to install the library.
That solved my issue and I am able to install my libraries.
Try installing libpython3.8-dev (see this post)
I was running into the same build error on Ubuntu 18.04 until I ran
sudo apt install libpython3.8-dev
Then, inside my python virtual environment, I ran
python3 -m pip install python-Levenshtein
If that doesn't work, check that you have build-essential installed. If not, then try:
sudo apt install build-essential
