Question

I was trying to install fancyimpute library on my Windows system. I am using Spyder on the Anaconda Navigator. I have tried the following on the command prompt as Administra

Answer 1

This is how I solved this problem in my laptop. First install MS Build tool Visual Studio Studio Build Tools requires about 3 GB of disk space. After installation of visual studio installer, look for the required version of C++ compiler (in our case its 14.0.xxx) Install that version which will download a file of 900 MB and requires a space of 3GB around in the Hard disk. After installation, restart the computer. Then go to conda prompt and give these commands

conda update --all
conda create -n py36 python=3.6 anaconda
conda activate 
conda install ecos
conda install CVXcanon
conda install -c cvxgrp scs
conda install scs
pip install fancyimpute

Another reference to do this, Unable to install fancyimpute in Python (for Windows 10)

If there's any error regarding "wrapt" , just go through this https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/30191 After this you might need to reinstall sklearn and jiblib lilbraries again

pip  uninstall sklearn
pip uninstall jiblib
pip  install sklearn
pip install jiblib

Answer 2

For those of you that couldn't get it working with other solutions, here is what I did. First:

conda install ecos

Then I went and downloaded the build wheel for both scs and cvxpy.

To install a build wheel, all I did was navigate to the folder (in my case, in the anaconda prompt it was just cd downloads). Secondly, I ran the following commands, in order:

pip install scs-2.1.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install cvxpy-1.0.22-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

Then at last I could do

pip install fancyimpute

Side Note: that you can also copy paste the path to the file, pip just needs to know where it is:

pip install C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Downloads\scs-2.1.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Downloads\cvxpy-1.0.22-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

Answer 3

you can do pip install fancyimpute-0.0.4.tar.gz to install the package after downloading fancyimpute-0.0.4.tar.gz.

Answer 4

This answer from another thread did the trick for me. Otherwise I was getting error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 required.

Answer 6

In my case (Python 3.7.4 with Windows 10), the solution I came out with is the combination of this answer (by Pang and Regi Mathew),

conda install ecos
conda install CVXcanon
pip install fancyimpute

and this other answer I found in this other question (by Nick):

easy_install fancyimpute

Therefore:

conda install ecos
conda install CVXcanon
pip install fancyimpute
easy_install fancyimpute
