prophet: Cannot use 'pip install fbprophet' to install prophet on windows 10 with python 3.6.0

Already installed python 3.60, pystan and Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools-win10

error message as follow after I use pip install fbprophet:

Command "d:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='C:\\Users\\lwx\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-build-phg6epsq\\fbprophet\\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record C:\Users\lwx\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-6ts715hu-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\lwx\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-phg6epsq\fbprophet\

And I tried to install from source code which I download from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fbprophet/0.1.post1 Use python setup.py install and error message as follows:

Wow same issue still present nearly 3 years later. fbprophet will not install whether pystan is installed correctly or not. i can import pystan and run a simple model, but fbprophet will not go through even when manual installed

Yes installation on Windows is a known problem. Are you able to install the pystan package? We think it’s an upstream pystan problem.

There seem to be two separate issues.

(1) Sometimes the PyStan installation is failing. @ritviksahajpal reported that pip install pystan did not work, but installing from source did. You should use the following code to check if PyStan is working:

import pystan
model_code = 'parameters {real y;} model {y ~ normal(0,1);}'
model = pystan.StanModel(model_code=model_code)  # this will take a minute
y = model.sampling(n_jobs=1).extract()['y']
y.mean()  # should be close to 0

If pip install pystan doesn’t work, then I’d suggest opening an issue with PyStan so they can be aware of the issue and possibly find a solution (https://github.com/stan-dev/pystan/issues).

(2) Once you do have a functioning PyStan installation, Prophet will not install. The issue here seems to be that PyStan in windows does not support matrix multiplication. @rjtavares reports that the following test case errors even with a functioning PyStan install:

import pystan
model_code = """
data {
  int n;                                
  int m;                                
  matrix[n, m] A;
  vector[n] y;
}

parameters {
  vector[m] delta;
}

model {y ~ normal(A * delta,1);}
"""
model = pystan.StanModel(model_code=model_code)

If this is the issue, then it is an upstream issue with PyStan-in-Windows and Prophet will not work until it is fixed. An issue needs to be raised with PyStan (https://github.com/stan-dev/pystan/issues). I do not currently have access to a Windows machine to run these test cases myself, and so can’t open the issue myself. If someone who has the code in (1) functioning but (2) not is willing to open an issue with PyStan that would be extremely helpful.

I had the same issue on Linux with Python 3.6.

Installing pystan manually fixed the issue (otherwise it would just hang forever).

I’ll get a Windows machine and try to replicate soon. Another thing to test if you have pystan installed is compiling one of the models in the package:

import pystan
sm = pystan.StanModel(model_code=open('stan/prophet_linear_growth.stan').read())

seanjtaylor on Feb 24, 2017

Hi, fbprophet cannot be compiled with windows default compiler msvc. In my case, I use anaconda and try to install prophet in a conda environment. I install mingw-64 as the compiler for pystan and prophet using “conda install libpython m2w64-toolchain -c msys2”, solved the issue
