I try to install
(env_py) PS D:\github\env_py\Scripts> pip install pySFML
After that I have:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pySFML (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pySFML
I am using python 3.9 and 3.7 on windows
And there is the same problem
THANKS!
The package name seems to be sfml, not pySFML.
Try
pip install sfml
pip install pySFML doesnot work anymore. The best way is to download the wheel from the below link and install it through wheel file
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pysfml
To install the wheel file just go to the directory where you have downloaded the file and then just do
pip install xyz.wheel
Another way, on linux
sudo aptitude install python3-sfml
It is work
I can
import sfml
but on windows I still can not install
https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/bindings.php
Extract the archive, and copy the files to your installation of Python. If you don't know where it's located, by default it should be "C:\Python26" on Windows or "/usr/lib/python2.6" on Linux.
Once the files are properly installed, you're ready to use PySFML.amd following command
python setup.py build
I am using a python package that requires a .whl package to get pip installed.
However, each operating system has it's own .whl file.
Examples
linux: PyAAF-1.0.0-cp27-cp27m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
mac: PyAAF-1.0.0-cp27-none-macosx_10_6_intel.whl
Is there a way to set my requirements.txt file choose the correct .whl file according to the currently-running OS?
Thanks
When you install packages with pip it will automatically set the wheels that your operating system supports. So just type:
pip install PackagName
In order to install the package. Make sure to not include the version nor the plataform. So if you want to install the latest numpy wheel (numpy-1.14.0-cp27-cp27m-manylinux1_i686.whl) you have to type:
pip install numpy
And the package will be automatically downloaded from Pypi
Note if you want to know which wheel formats your os supports you can open a python console and execute the following code:
import pip; print(pip.pep425tags.get_supported())
I downloaded the newest Cython release from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Cython/#downloads. I'm working in Python 3.5.1 on a Mac so I downloaded
Cython-0.26.1-cp35-cp35m-macosx_10_6_intel.macosx_10_9_intel.macosx_10_9_x86_64.macosx_10_10_intel.macosx_10_10_x86_64.whl
I unzipped it and entered the /Cython directory, but there is no setup.py in the directory. When I try to run python3 setup.py install anyway I get the following error:
/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.5.1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
It doesn't seem to be looking in the /Cython directory I am in, but there is also no setup.py in that directory.
Not sure what's going on, I can't seem to find anyone else having this issue.
I've install python3 using homebrew.
The file you downloaded is a wheel file that should be installed using pip. The wheel file does not include the setup.py script which is required to build the package but is not used when installing wheels. First check you are using correct pip command (you need one for python 3.5), this is usually pip3.5 or pip3 command:
$ pip3 -V
pip 9.0.1 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5)
To install cython from the downloaded wheel, issue
$ pip3 install path/to/downloaded.whl
Or simply issue
$ pip3 install cython
as pip will download the latest package wheel for you. Since you installed python 3.5 via Homebrew, you probably have to switch to the user you use to install packages with Homebrew or the installation with pip will fail.
Note that, although suggested in the comments, it is not advised to install cython package via brew install:
$ brew info cython
...
==> Caveats
This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into
/usr/local,
because this formula is mainly used internally by other formulae.
Users are advised to use `pip` to install cython.
I'm having trouble installing a Python package on my Windows machine, and would like to install it with Christoph Gohlke's Window binaries. (Which, to my experience, alleviated much of the fuss for many other package installations). However, only .whl files are available.
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#jpype
But how do I install .whl files?
Notes
I've found documents on wheel, but they don't seem so staightforward in explaining how to install .whl files.
This question is a duplicate with this question, which wasn't directly answered.
I just used the following which was quite simple. First open a console then cd to where you've downloaded your file like some-package.whl and use
pip install some-package.whl
Note: if pip.exe is not recognized, you may find it in the "Scripts" directory from where python has been installed. If pip is not installed, this page can help:
How do I install pip on Windows?
Note: for clarification
If you copy the *.whl file to your local drive (ex. C:\some-dir\some-file.whl) use the following command line parameters --
pip install C:/some-dir/some-file.whl
First, make sure you have updated pip to enable wheel support:
pip install --upgrade pip
Then, to install from wheel, give it the directory where the wheel is downloaded. For example, to install package_name.whl:
pip install --use-wheel --no-index --find-links=/where/its/downloaded package_name
There are several file versions on the great Christoph Gohlke's site.
Something I have found important when installing wheels from this site is to first run this from the Python console:
import pip
print(pip.pep425tags.get_supported())
so that you know which version you should install for your computer. Picking the wrong version may fail the installing of the package (especially if you don't use the right CPython tag, for example, cp27).
I am in the same boat as the OP.
Using a Windows command prompt, from directory:
C:\Python34\Scripts>
pip install wheel
seemed to work.
Changing directory to where the whl was located, it just tells me 'pip is not recognized'. Going back to C:\Python34\Scripts>, then using the full command above to provide the 'where/its/downloaded' location, it says Requirement 'scikit_image-...-win32.whl' looks like a filename, but the filename does not exist.
So I dropped a copy of the .whl in Python34/Scripts, ran the exact same command over again (with the --find-links= still going to the other folder), and this time it worked.
There's a slight difference between accessing the .whl file in python2 and python3. In python3, you need to install wheel first and then you can access .whl files.
Python3
pip install package.whl
OR
pip install wheel
And then by using wheel
wheel unpack some-package.whl
Python2
pip install some-package.whl
You have to run pip.exe from the command prompt on my computer.
I type C:/Python27/Scripts/pip2.exe install numpy
On Windows you can't just upgrade using pip install --upgrade pip, because the pip.exe is in use and there would be an error replacing it. Instead, you should upgrade pip like this:
easy_install --upgrade pip
Then check the pip version:
pip --version
If it shows 6.x series, there is wheel support.
Only then, you can install a wheel package like this:
pip install your-package.whl
To be able to install wheel files with a simple doubleclick on them you can do one the following:
1) Run two commands in command line under administrator privileges:
assoc .whl=pythonwheel
ftype pythonwheel=cmd /c pip.exe install "%1" ^& pause
2) Alternatively, they can be copied into a wheel.bat file and executed with 'Run as administrator' checkbox in the properties.
PS pip.exe is assumed to be in the PATH.
Update:
(1) Those can be combined in one line:
assoc .whl=pythonwheel& ftype pythonwheel=cmd /c pip.exe install -U "%1" ^& pause
(2) Syntax for .bat files is slightly different:
assoc .whl=pythonwheel& ftype pythonwheel=cmd /c pip.exe install -U "%%1" ^& pause
Also its output can be made more verbose:
#assoc .whl=pythonwheel|| echo Run me with administrator rights! && pause && exit 1
#ftype pythonwheel=cmd /c pip.exe install -U "%%1" ^& pause || echo Installation error && pause && exit 1
#echo Installation successfull & pause
see my blog post for details.
In-case if you unable to install specific package directly using PIP.
You can download a specific .whl (wheel) package from - https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
CD (Change directory) to that downloaded package and install it manually by -
pip install PACKAGENAME.whl
ex:
pip install ad3‑2.1‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl
EDIT: THIS NO LONGER IS A PART OF PIP
To avoid having to download such files, you can try:
pip install --use-wheel pillow
For more information, see this.
You can install the .whl file, using pip install filename. Though to use it in this form, it should be in the same directory as your command line, otherwise specify the complete filename, along with its address like pip install C:\Some\PAth\filename.
Also make sure the .whl file is of the same platform as you are using, do a python -V to find out which version of Python you are running and if it is win32 or 64, install the correct version according to it.
The only way I managed to install NumPy was as follows:
I downloaded NumPy from here
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpy
This Module
https://pypi.python.org/packages/d7/3c/d8b473b517062cc700575889d79e7444c9b54c6072a22189d1831d2fbbce/numpy-1.11.2-cp35-none-win32.whl#md5=e485e06907826af5e1fc88608d0629a2
Command execution from Python's installation path in PowerShell
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Python35-32> .\python -m pip install C:/Users/MyUsername/Documents/Programs/Python/numpy-1.11.2-cp35-none-win32.whl
Processing c:\users\MyUsername\documents\programs\numpy-1.11.2-cp35-none-win32.whl
Installing collected packages: numpy
Successfully installed numpy-1.11.2
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Python35-32>
PS.: I installed it on Windows 10.
New Python users on Windows often forget to add Python's \Scripts directory to the PATH variable during the installation. I recommend to use the Python launcher and execute pip as a script with the -m switch. Then you can install the wheels for a specific Python version (if more than one are installed) and the Scripts directory doesn't have to be in the PATH. So open the command line, navigate (with the cd command) to the folder where the .whl file is located and enter:
py -3.6 -m pip install your_whl_file.whl
Replace 3.6 by your Python version or just enter -3 if the desired Python version appears first in the PATH. And with an active virtual environment: py -m pip install your_whl_file.whl.
Of course you can also install packages from PyPI in this way, e.g.
py -3.6 -m pip install pygame
I would be suggesting you the exact way how to install .whl file.
Initially I faced many issues but then I solved it, Here is my trick to install .whl files.
Follow The Steps properly in order to get a module imported
Make sure your .whl file is kept in the python 2.7/3.6/3.7/.. folder.
Initially when you download the .whl file the file is kept in downloaded folder, my
suggestion is to change the folder. It makes it easier to install the file.
Open command prompt and open the folder where you have kept the file by entering
cd c:\python 3.7
3.Now, enter the command written below
>py -3.7(version name) -m pip install (file name).whl
Click enter and make sure you enter the version you are currently using with correct
file name.
Once you press enter, wait for few minutes and the file will be installed and you will
be able to import the particular module.
In order to check if the module is installed successfully, import the module in idle
and check it.
Thank you:)
On the MacOS, with pip installed via MacPorts into the MacPorts python2.7, I had to use #Dunes solution:
sudo python -m pip install some-package.whl
Where python was replaced by the MacPorts python in my case, which is python2.7 or python3.5 for me.
The -m option is "Run library module as script" according to the manpage.
(I had previously run sudo port install py27-pip py27-wheel to install pip and wheel into my python 2.7 installation first.)
What I did was first updating the pip by using the command:
pip install --upgrade pip and then I also installed wheel by using command: pip install wheel and then it worked perfectly Fine.
Hope it works for you I guess.
Download the package (.whl).
Put the file inside the script folder of python directory
C:\Python36\Scripts
Use the command prompt to install the package.
C:\Python36\Scripts>pip install package_name.whl
Theoretically:
Because wheel is a built distribution spec ie, no dependency on a build system and because it's a ZIP-format archive, it just has to be unpacked to the target location in-order to be used.
While pip install *.wheel adds extra features, we can also unzip (using a standard archive tool eg: 7zip) the .whl file into site-packages directory to use the package.

How do I install a Python package with a .whl file?
(18 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
Skill level: beginner
I am trying to add a library in python. The extension is wheel.
Can somebody tell stepwise approach in installing wheel file?
First open a console then cd to where you've downloaded your file like some-package.whl and use
pip install some-package.whl
Note: if pip.exe is not recognized, you may find it in the "Scripts" directory from where python has been installed. I have multiple Python installations, and needed to use the pip associated with Python 3 to install a version 3 wheel.

How do I install a Python package USING a .whl file ?
For all Windows platforms:
1) Download the .WHL package install file.
2) Make Sure path [C:\Progra~1\Python27\Scripts] is in the system PATH string. This is for using both [pip.exe] and [easy-install.exe].
3) Make sure the latest version of pip.EXE is now installed.
At this time of posting:
pip.EXE --version
pip 9.0.1 from C:\PROGRA~1\Python27\lib\site-packages (python 2.7)
4) Run pip.EXE in an Admin command shell.
- Open an Admin privileged command shell.
> easy_install.EXE --upgrade pip
- Check the pip.EXE version:
> pip.EXE --version
pip 9.0.1 from C:\PROGRA~1\Python27\lib\site-packages (python 2.7)
> pip.EXE install --use-wheel --no-index
--find-links="X:\path to wheel file\DownloadedWheelFile.whl"
Be sure to double-quote paths or path\filenames with embedded spaces in them ! Alternatively, use the MSW 'short' paths and filenames.
