I am trying to install dedupe module and I am getting an error below,
error: command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory
Failed building wheel for dedupe
Failed building wheel for dedupe-hcluster
Failed building wheel for affinegap
Failed building wheel for pylbfgs
Failed building wheel for pyhacrf-datamade
I found this link, that did not help me to resolve.
I am using Windows 10 , 64-bit, Python 3.5.4 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit).
I found the .whl file here, (dedupe-1.9.2-cp35-cp35m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl) downloaded it and tried to use pip install <>.whl and I got an error,
dedupe-1.9.2-cp35-cp35m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
So, finally, after more research I successfully installed dedupe library. Just thought of posting my own answer if anyone might come across this issue.
In the beginning I only had Visual Studio Build Tools 2017 installed with Visual Studio 2015.
After posting the question I installed Visual Studio Community 2017 (2). And then tried use pip install dedupe still gave me errors like in this post.
Then according to the post, I upgraded the numpy =1.14 and tried pip install dedupe, it worked.
(I am not an expert python setup person, not sure how to explain other than this plain explanation)
