Installing pocketsphinx python module: command 'swig.exe' failed

Question

I\'m getting something like this. Can anyone please tell me how to fix this.

C:\\Users\\krush\\Documents\\ML using Python>pip install pocketsphinx
Collect         


        

Answer 1

conda install swig
pip install pocketsphinx

I didn't want to do all that setup other people are suggesting so I tried this and it worked. This probably only works if you are using Anaconada though.

Answer 2

Instead of copying Swig files to the Python folder, you can simply add Swig`s location to the environment variables:

1. Press Ctrl+S
2. Type env and press Enter
3. Double click on Path
4. Add the path-to-Swig to the last blank line
5. Click OK and restart your PC
