prophet: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

When I run $ pip install fbprophet on Python 2.7.13, macOS 10.12.4, I get the following error:

I got hit with the same issue, your first command was successful, however when running the second command I get the following:

Blakes-MacBook-Pro:~ bmc$ sudo python setup.py install /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.12_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can’t open file ‘setup.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I have tried all the methods mentioned inthis post but nothing has worked.

Sumit-macbook:~ admin$ sudo -s bash-3.2# sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev libmysqlclient-dev sudo: apt-get: command not found bash-3.2#

sumit27p on Apr 23, 2018

After a lot of tinkering, a quick sudo apt-cache search mysqlclient hinted that I needed to install default-libmysqlclient-dev with: sudo apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-dev

AnirudhKonduru on Feb 15, 2018

I did absolutely everything and it got fixed. Here are the commands I entered last

pip install psycopg2-binary
conda install py-xgboost
pip3 install --user --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
pip install shapely
pip3 install minepy
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install mysqlclient
pip install pystan
pip install matplotlib
