'Fbprophet installation error - failed building wheel for fbprophet

I am trying to install fbprophet for Python using Pip install, but failing. I have already installed Pystan.

Can I import it using Anaconda Navigator?

Can someone please help.

Fundamental step: Switch to your environment in your Anaconda prompt: conda activate name-of-your-python-enviornment

Then the following steps shall work:

On Prompt install Ephem:
```
conda install -c anaconda ephem
```
Install Pystan:
```
conda install -c conda-forge pystan
```
Finally install Fbprophet:
```
conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet
```
If exists error from holidays package
```
pip install holidays==0.9.12
```

Use offline package installer: this works with Python 3.8. and Python 3.9.x

pip install localpip 
localpip install fbprophet

I could install fbprophet using conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet. This was failing too due to permission issue My folder had 'read-only' permissions. I modified it to read-write. Then reran the command and was able to install fbprophet

Solution 4:^[4]

So after I did

conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet

I got at the end:

EnvironmentNotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to the target environment.
  environment location: C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3

ProgramData is system folder, so changed r-w permissions(took few minutes), and I also did this for C:\Program Files\Python37 path with Lib folder.

For this stack:

CentOS: 7
Python: 3.8
GCC: 4.8.5
PyStan: 2.19.1.1
FbProphet: 0.7.1

You need these packages:

centos-release-scl devtoolset-8

Enable SCL devtoolset-8

source /opt/rh/devtoolset-8/enable

rh-python38-python rh-python38-python-devel
pip install pystan==2.19.1.1

Docker image with HTTPD MOD_WSGI and FBPROPHET...

FROM centos:7

EXPOSE 80

# Install Apache
RUN yum -y update
RUN yum -y install centos-release-scl
RUN yum -y install httpd httpd-tools rh-python38-python-mod_wsgi.x86_64 devtoolset-8-gcc devtoolset-8-gcc-c++ rh-python38-python rh-python38-python-devel

# Copy the wsgi module to Apache HTTP Server modules folder
RUN cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rh-python38-wsgi.so /lib64/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi.so

ENV PATH="/opt/rh/rh-python38/root/usr/bin:/opt/rh/rh-python38/root/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"

WORKDIR /
COPY ROOT .

WORKDIR /opt/rh/rh-python38/root
RUN ./usr/bin/python3 /etc/get-pip.py

RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install-fb.sh && /usr/local/bin/install-fb.sh
RUN pip install -r /etc/requirements.txt

# Start Apache
CMD ["/usr/sbin/httpd","-D","FOREGROUND"]

The script install-fb.sh contains this code:

$ cat ROOT/usr/local/bin/install-fb.sh
#!/bin/bash
source /opt/rh/devtoolset-8/enable
pip install pystan==2.19.1.1 fbprophet==0.7.1

The reason to put it in its own script is the SCL enable line, to avoid the gcc not found error.

I hope this helps, getting all these software packages running together is not a piece of cake :)

With the following environment

OSX: Big Sur 11.6

python: python:3.7-slim

$ pip install pystan==2.19
$ pip install fbprophet

Solution 7:^[7]

Docker Image: python 3.8-slim

This worked for me:

pip install pystan==2.19.1.1
pip install fbprophet

Solution 8:^[8]

macOS Big Sur 11.5.2

python 3.7

This worked for me:

pip install pystan==2.19.1.1
sudo pip install fbprophet==0.7.1

FB prophet documentation recommends using conda for windows users as the easiest way for installing prophet. In my case, the following solved the problem (win10):

conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet -y

Solution 10:^[10]

After a lot of research, I found the solution for installing fbprophet on windows 10.

Step 1: Check the kernel in jupyter. Locate the folder \jupyter\kernels\python3 and check the python exe location used by the kernel. Mine was pointing to - Programs\Python\Python37\python.exe open CMD prompt and go to above dir.

I am skipping pystan installation as I already installed pystan using pip command.

Step 2 : Download the file "Twisted-20.3.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl" from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted

python -m pip install /Twisted-20.3.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

Step 3 : pip install fbprophet

Installing collected packages: fbprophet Successfully installed fbprophet-0.6

Step 4 : python

import fbprophet

fbprophet.version

'0.6'

Solution 11:^[11]

This worked for me:

pip install prophet
pip install fbprophet
