Manually Installing Python Libraries

I need to use the tabula library version 0.9.2.

When I type the following, everything works fine:

python -m pip install tabula

I need to use a specific version of tabula. When I type python -m pip install tabula==0.9.2, I get this error message:

Collecting tabula==0.9.2
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tabula==0.9.2 (from ve
rsions: 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5)
No matching distribution found for tabula==0.9.2

So, I am now attempting to install the tabula library manually; however, I have never done this before.

When I go here and download

tabula-jar-0.9.2.zip

these do not look like the files I normally have when I install a module using pip. Is there something that I need to know or do?

Solution

  • tabula is a Java library. You need to download the python wrapper with:

    pip install tabula-py

    or

    python -m pip install tabula-py
