I'm trying to install Lazypredict, an autoML python library, on macOS 10.14.6.

Thus, I simply run "pip install lazypredict" in the terminal , it wants to install lightgbm, but always fails to do so. I think it tries to install lightgbm through pip although I have already installed it with brew (as recommendend).

Hence i get such errors and really don't know what to do. I already have CMake installed too Do you have ideas of what could enable me to install lazypredict ? PS: Same happenned with other auto ML packages such as PyCaret

The errors I get are the following:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for lightgbm Running setup.py clean for lightgbm Failed to build lightgbm Installing collected packages: lightgbm Running setup.py install for lightgbm ... error ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Exception: Please install CMake and all required dependencies first

  • Have the same problem with Lazy predict, might mean that they need to update the package to resolve this. – user4933 Feb 14 '23 at 17:21

SOLUTION 1 (Recommended)

LazyPredict works with specific versions of other libraries, I recommend you to work with Google Colab or Kaggle Notebook. They create a separate environment having multiple versions of other libraries, when you install lazypredict on colad or kaggle you won't face any issues.

One more reason to use lazypredict on Colab or Kaggle is that this library is just for testing purposes you cannot use this library for deployment, and it won't work on large datasets.

SOLUTION 2

As I mentioned lazypredict depends on specific versions of other libraries, you can search on google and will find a list of those libraries along with their version, try to manually install those versions but it is a time-consuming step, the other way is to install a new python version within which you can create a Virtual Environment and then try to install lazypredict in it.

SOLUTION 3 (only perform if you know docker)

If you are aware of Docker you can install a python image in it, a fresh install that does not contain any libraries, so you can install lazypredict in it.
