I was trying to install the vaex application from Anaconda Navigator, but it fails to launch with an error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vaex.remote'. Everything is installed, and I even reinstalled everything, with no better results:

~$ conda install -c conda-forge vaex vaex-core vaex-hdf5 vaex-ui vaex-server vaex-ml --force-reinstall --yes

Any idea?

This is a very frequent and debated issue on Anaconda for that specific module.

I suggest this approach that is from this thread, where Jovan is giving a very good answer: https://github.com/vaexio/vaex/issues/464

Quoting it below:

Create a new conda env and install thru conda forge:

conda create --name vaex_env
source activate vaex_enc

Then simply install vaex through conda(forge).

conda install vaex -c conda-forge

This will install all necessary dependencies as well.

This should work!

  • That didn't work unfortunately. You could expect that it would work better on its own environment, but that wasn't the case. – mrgou Dec 24 '20 at 16:31
