scipy: Not able to install scipy using pip in docker alpine image with python:3.5.6-alpine image

I am not able to install pip install scipy in docker alpine:3.8 image this is my Dockerfile

FROM alpine:3.8
FROM python:3.5.6-alpine

COPY requirements.txt /requirements.txt
RUN pip install /requirements.txt

requirements.txt has 2 libs

numpy==1.14.3
scipy==1.0.1

Reproducing code example:

Run the above Dockerfile and install `numpy==1.14.3` and `scipy==1.0.1` using `pip` to get the error

Error message:

looks like the confusion is cleared up here, and there’s no scipy bug. so I’ll close this issue. feel free to continue adding information if that seems useful of course.

thanks all

#Apologies for the delayed response
As @rgommers stated scipy doesn’t maintain a docker image rather they have an alpine package py3-scipy But I was able to install scipy on python3.8 with alpine3.11 with below Dockerfile

FROM python:3.8.1-alpine3.11

RUN apk update \
    && apk add --upgrade --no-cache \
        bash openssh curl ca-certificates openssl less htop \
		g++ make wget rsync \
        build-base libpng-dev freetype-dev libexecinfo-dev openblas-dev libgomp lapack-dev \
		libgcc libquadmath musl  \
		libgfortran \
		lapack-dev \
	&&  pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade pip \
	&&  pip install numpy==1.17.3 \
	&&  pip install scipy==1.3.1

You can even use base apline:3.11 to install scipy also

This worked for me

Hey @reddimohan , @itayB, I’ve been able to install scipy on python:3.7.3-alpine docker image.

method one

First, I’ve installed openblas in order to generate shared objects.

# install openblas
RUN wget https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/archive/v0.3.6.tar.gz \
	&& tar -xf v0.3.6.tar.gz \
	&& cd OpenBLAS-0.3.6/ \
	&& make BINARY=64 FC=$(which gfortran) USE_THREAD=1 \
	&& make PREFIX=/usr/lib/openblas install

You need to install gfortran and perl.

Next, you need to run your scipy installation like:

RUN ATLAS=/usr/lib/openblas/lib/libopenblas.so LAPACK=/usr/lib/openblas/lib/libopenblas.so pip install scipy==1.3

It’s taking a while (not as long as firefox on Gentoo 😂 ), but as @ilayn said there is no wheel for alpine, so alpine will compile.

You’ve built your own lib, so you need to add it to the linker path:

RUN export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/lib/openblas/lib/

method two

There is also another way: you can download directly scipy sources and patch numpy installation.

RUN pip download scipy==1.3

Then create edit site.cfg (there is an example), like this one:

RUN  echo -e '[DEFAULT]\n\
library_dirs = /usr/lib/openblas/lib\n\
include_dirs = /usr/lib/openblas/lib\n\n\
[atlas]\n\
atlas_libs = openblas\n\
libraries = openblas\n\n\
[openblas]\n\
libraries = openblas\n\
library_dirs = /usr/lib/openblas/lib\n\
include_dirs = /usr/lib/openblas/lib'  >> site.cfg

I’ve personally used the first method, because numpy was already installed and patched to use openblas.

I don’t know yet if every scipy features work as expected, but I’ve successfully installed scipy and imported it.

This looks like manylinux wheels are not compatible with Alpine (whatever distro it might be) and it is trying to build it. However then it also needs lapack and blas sources you can find the required libraries here.

ilayn on Nov 15, 2018

I can confirm on alpine 3.11, numpy==1.17.3 and scipy==1.3.1 can be installed directly through pip no need to build the package. You will need to make sure you have libgcc, libquadmath, musl, libgfortran, lapack-dev

apk add --update-cache --no-cache libgcc libquadmath musl \
&& apk add --update-cache --no-cache libgfortran \
&& apk add --update-cache --no-cache lapack-dev

pip install scipy==1.3.1

shivam-kotwalia on Jan 16, 2020

Do you need to build SciPy, or does the Alpine py3-scipy (which currently has 1.3.3, and will probably update soon) work? See https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=py3-scipy&branch=edge

Thanks @shivam-kotwalia This really work for me.

It worked for me too, I was just confused with ‘&&’ and ‘\’ usage! Thanks @shivam-kotwalia!

@itayB You can ask for the pypi wheel by pip install scipy hence you don’t need to build but otherwise please check the link I’ve pasted above at the end

I’ve been also able to install scikit learn with solution proposed by @shivam-kotwalia. It takes me 1 hour to install though…

Do you need to build SciPy, or does the Alpine py3-scipy (which currently has 1.3.3, and will probably update soon) work? See https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=py3-scipy&branch=edge

Thank you very much for kindly pointing this out to me @rgommers. Indeed, this will work fine. I apologize for not doing a better job of searching the available Alpine resources before diving into trying to build scipy.

1.3.2, which will be out sooner (within 1-2 weeks I think), will also be Python 3.8 compatible.

For now, building from master is your only option for py38. That will be true for other packages too, use 3.7 if you want to make your life easier.

@rgommers scipy is breaking docker usage.

@reddimohan did you fix it? can you share the solution?

itayB on Jun 12, 2019

This worked for me.

FROM alpine:3.12

RUN apk update && apk --no-cache add python3 py3-scipy

@matthewfeickert This actually helped me a ton today! Thxs for posting!

No it’s not, this is specific to Alpine because it chose with the unusual musl libc. No wheels on PyPI for any package containing compiled code will work with it. If you use Alpine Linux, you’re signing up to building everything from scratch. Or just use conda, which includes glibc so should work.

rgommers on Oct 23, 2019

Thanks, @tormath1, I will try your solution and let you know the progress.
