Pystan

I am not able to install the requirements through the Init.bat file. I am getting the following error. I installed Visual C++ build tools with the mentioned components. I feel like this is due to the PEP

Hi @rkarr5 , I checked other issues referencing this PEP and it looks like the C++ compiler is usually the issue. You should double check that you have all the necessary components of Visual C++ Build Tools installed. You could also try downgrading pip by modifying the Qlik-Py-Init file.

pip install pip==20.2

Thanks Nabeel for providing the workaround. I tried modifying the init file and still the issue is the same. As far as C++ compiler, I mirrored the mentioned features. I uninstalled and installed again but still no luck,

I had time to try a fresh install today and it went ok for me with PyTools v.8.1. Could you post a screen capture of the installed VS Build Tools components and the full error log?

Thanks Nabeel for taking the time to check again. Here are the images that contain the build tools and error log.

The log indicates that the problem is with the C++ compiler. The failure is on cpp files and MSVC is being referenced in the log.

To check your Build Tools components you will need to click on in in Control Panel > Programs and Features and then choose the Change option. You're probably missing some required component.

I tried uninstalling and installing the C++ Build tools but the issue still persists. Is there a way that I can run the above code with Anaconda. I was able to install pystan in the anaconda environment. But I am not sure how to replicate the bat files in that environment.

@rkarr5, that's unfortunate. I haven't tried running the code with Anaconda so can't provide instructions. You could try setting up a virtual environment with conda with the packages specified in the Qlik-Py-Init file. The versions will need to match the ones in the file.

Hi Nabeel, I installed a fresh os and then did all the installation stuff again which fixed the issue. Thank you for your help.
