Error Code 1 Installing Scrapy

Question

I am trying to install the Scrapy module for Python. I am using the command:

pip install Scrapy

But I get the following error:

<         


        

Answer 1

you can install it via pip wheel.
Download from here wheel package. Scrapy

Then install with

pip install wheel       #  to install support for wheel files.
pip install Scrapy‑1.0.3‑py2‑none‑any.whl        # to install the wheel.

EDIT: If on ubuntu or another debian based os:

try:

sudo apt-get install python-dev

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

and then again try to install scrapy.

On Mac Osx :

Install brew package manager from :Brew

Then try to use brew install package_name

Answer 2

Apparently I needed to install the Xcode command line tools. (Even if you have Xcode installed.) I have the latest beta of Xcode, but I still needed to install the command line tools.

xcode-select --install

And then running pip install scrapy worked fine.
