Running setup.py install for fbprophet ... error

I have tried with python 3.6 and 3.7. I have tried running as administrator and without.

My anaconda prompt cannot install anything without throwing errors. I would rather use pip.

The problem may be related to pystan.

File "d:\python37\lib\site-packages\pystan\api.py", line 13, in <module> import pystan._api  # stanc wrapper
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I am using windows 10.

Solution

  • To solve this problem, I uninstalled my existing python 3.7 and anaconda. I re-installed anaconda with one key difference.

    I registered Anaconda as my default Python 3.7 during the Anaconda installation. This lets visual studio, PyDev and other programs automatically detect Anaconda as the primary version to use.
